Will "we" ever stop getting the Shaft?

[CashforStash]

Like seriously, why does Canada get the friggan shaft for everything? We dont get the friggan Movie Masters, all we get is the kiddie line. Thats it! I recently found out the Movie Masters line is being shipped to UK aswell now but yet Mattel has it's headquaters in Missisagua Ontario and still dont get the line. It's bull crap, and now "us" Canadians or "we" worldwide people (excluding UK and America) dont get the best TDK Toy Line, this is bull crap, now we have to pay like trippled the amount of money from scalpers on Ebay. Like does anybody agree here, I should send a email to Mattel or Phone them, this seriously pisses me of.

All I have is a MM Goon, and a MM TDK Batman that my dad got me from the states all I want is to walk into a Wal-Mart and to see a couple of MM there so I can get my hands on them for my ghost town of a bedroom.

I know man, total bull crap, I am hoping that when they ship to the UK they'll ship to Canada aswell eh?

 

[d.k.]

Yeah I've had to get every fig now off of ebay
I have all of em except for the chase figs and I just can't pay that much, they really should get to canada soon

First off, you literally JUST beat me to the chase with this thread!

I am in Canada and...I ...am...LIVID!

Mattel can lick my hairy, sweaty ****ing beanbag

I dont know exactly what is going on in their little jerk off minds but screwing Canada out of the figures is unreal!

I laughed so hard when I saw MM figures on eBay in Australia of all places that said 'Missasauga Canada'.....what the HELL?!?

I refuse to pay crazy prices on ebay because of the pricks who hoarde all the figures and resell them for 200000x's what they are worth.

Unreal...so disappointed in Mattel and how these MM figures were handled.

We finally, FINALLY get decent 6-inch movie based Batman figures and this is the ******** we have to deal with....thanks Mattel and all the dick scalpers out there.

 

[Electric Sixx]

Pretty pissed here too, only get the kiddie figures and I haven't seen a character in that line other than normal tdk batman and his ultra-aqua-wtf-sea-raping variants and what could be scarecrow if it didn't have a tomato for the head.

 

[4NutzinYoface]

Honestly...the kiddie versions are friggin' B-R-U-T-A-L!!!

Look, even if I was 7 yrs old and I had my choice between a MM figure or the cheapass looking McDonalds ****** toys...I'm pretty sure I'd choose MM.

Kids know the difference between whats cool and whats crap.

5-inch garbage figures are pointless!


Mattel screwed the royal pooch when it came to putting out figures from Batman Begins in '05...now they've seem to fixed the problem considerably by offering a 6-inch line of movie detailed figures.....

...buuut...but Mattel has their head jammed so FAR up their rectums that they can't see this movie is like..oh I dunno one of the biggest movies of all time and that...gee, let's see..some people might want to spend hard earned $$$ on decent Batman Dark Knight action figures...

Perhaps there is a perfectly logical and good explanation as to why Mattel dropped the ball in the biggest way possible with this movie? ....buuut I doubt it.

I know what you mean, it really bothers me too.

An email to the manufacturers wouldn't hurt y'know. I'm thinking of doing it, only takes a few minutes to compose something that gets the message across.

 

[Grinning-smile]

Erm....i'm from the uk and well, sorry to burst your bubble, but we're only getting the batman from wave one, and then wave two later. And i should add that this is as far as i know only in one store, forbidden planet which has like 10 or so stores in the entire uk, and also as far as i know the figures are only available online so we're in no better position than you are. Besides i've seen them and to be honest, not that great, better than the kiddie figures. Honest opinion, save your money and order one of the dc direct or hot toys dolls, much better value for money.

Dude, that's not the point, you still GOT something, idc if it's a Alfred MM you still got something, us Canadians got dust, just dust on the shelves and racks and then being filled up by Ben 10 toys

That seems very odd that you got nothing at all....maybe (hopefully) Canada are about to get something really cool and exclusive!! Email them, that's what I'd do. The more people who email, they'll have to take it into account. All complaints get stored on system.

 

[jocal62]

Well, I'm in Vancouver, and I have the Dark Knight MM. I wonder why I found it here...? It was in Toys R Us in Metrotown, but I don't know if they still have it...

 

[8bitouija]

I know what you mean, we always seem to be stuck with the **** end of the stick :/

Canada's a fairly large market, and yet we get left out of so much crap it's rediculous :'D
Looks like I'll have to ask my mum to look for MM figures when she's in Michigan B:

In the meantime, I definitely support the "send letters/emails to mattel" idea, and shall write something up soon.

 

[Coover5]

I'll send an email to mattel as well. I live in America but I know how much it sucks when you can't get the figures you want. BTW If I write a a ltter woudl some one be willing to send it for me? At my house we have to use the stamps and envelopes for bills and church matters (my father's a pastor and has to often send news letters out. a majority of our congregation is Elderly so many of them don't use email)

That's promising
I'm in van as well

 

[neospike]

I just got off the phone with Mattel Customer Service.

There are no plans to release Movie Masters in Canada at all. Period.

 

[Coover5]

neospike I mentioned i would write a letter if some one else would send it since you seem concerened would you be willing to send it? (the reaons i can't send it are mentioned in my previous post)

 

[Grinning-smile]

Err....not yet we haven't still on pre-order, and the dates keep getting shoved back for figures that have been about for months and months. I've seen figures disappear from forbidden planet before they come out before, so really we're in no better situation than you guys, and if we want them we'll have to pay all sorts of import charges on them to get them shipped if they don't come out over here, which it really looks like they wont. But i'm not gonna argue, doesn't solve anything, just e-mail them, maybe they'll get the hint.

 

[CashforStash]

Well this is the bomb (as in ****ty bomb) now know we don't get the MM in Canada, great Mattel, i'll totaly buy from you again.....NOT.

 

[neospike]

neospike I mentioned i would write a letter if some one else would send it since you seem concerened would you be willing to send it? (the reaons i can't send it are mentioned in my previous post)

Sure, no probs. I'll even hand deliver it since I live 5 minutes away from their head office. Just send me a PM when you're ready, and I'll forward you my email address.

WTF?! Are you serious?

My bro works at TRU and the MM's have been on their system for sometime now, theres just no date on them. So now they aren't going to release them in Canada at all?
Alright I'm going kill to someone.
