I saw this show on it's second day of previews and it was great. Everything was on point. I saw no mistakes. Choreography was superb and the music was just like the movie. The atmosphere was lively and upbeat. I'd say it's a great show for people of all ages.

From the Concord Monitor, By Tim Jones / For the Monitor July 1, 2011
Regular readers probably already know that my sweetheart Marilyn and I are big fans of riding rail trails on our fat-tire tandem bicycle. Riding a rail trail is really the perfect bare-ground outing for us.
In what has, so far, been a ridiculously busy early summer for us, plagued by, it seems, almost constant rain and cold, we've had trouble getting in as many outings as we'd like. So when a free morning happened to dawn clear, sunny and cool, we decided we had to make something fun happen, if only for a few hours.
The Northern Rail Trail in Grafton and Merrimack counties is shaping up to be one of the best rail trail rides in all of New England. The stone-dust or gravel surface is firm and easy to pedal on (especially with a fat tire or cyclocross bike), and the scenery is beautiful.
This trail is particularly convenient. If you are traveling on Interstates 91 or 93, you are only minutes from a trail terminus, and access from I-89 is even faster. If your bike is on the car anyway, why not stop and ride for an hour or two?
I should note that Marilyn and I don't particularly enjoy riding with a lot of traffic. Though the NRT essentially parallels either Route 4 or Route 11, you don't often see or even hear motor vehicles. Much of the time you are riding through quiet woods and fields, alongside beautiful flowing streams and placid ponds.
The northern end of the trail in Grafton County (northernrailtrail.org) was finished first. It runs 23 miles from downtown Lebanon through Enfield, Canaan, Orange and Grafton.
Another 23 miles in Merrimack County have now been completed. This section runs through Danbury, Wilmot and Andover to end (for the moment at least) in Franklin. Eventually, the trail will continue on to Boscawen and Concord, though in these days of tight money and endless budget fights, who knows when that will happen?
Marilyn and I have been riding short sections of the NRT when we were in the neighborhood on other business. I believe we've done most of it.
On this particular summer morning, we pulled into the parking area at Potter Place, right off the junction of Routes 4 and 11, and started pedaling east toward Franklin. We only had about an hour to ride and hoped we could get in 10 or 12 miles or so. Not a "big" ride, but fun nonetheless. We haven't been able to pedal much this spring and we weren't sure how far our legs and seats would take us. But we need to start conditioning for some longer rides we have planned later this summer, so every little bit helps.
This section of trail is almost flat (most rail lines avoided hills as much as possible) and has a nicely packed gravel/stone dust surface. It runs along the Blackwater River, through pine and hardwood forests, skirting the edges of some beautiful wetlands. Gorgeous scenery for a summer morning.
We'd pedaled only about 2 miles before we came upon a lovely covered bridge we'd never seen before. At about the 6-mile mark we ran out of time and turned around at the Higland Lake Inn (highlandlakeinn.com) in East Andover, which looks like it would make a perfect overnight stop for a weekend getaway.
Someday soon, we'll take two cars and ride the whole NRT end to end in one day. But for now, these section rides out and back are a perfect break on a busy summer morning.
Life isn't a spectator sport. Get out and enjoy!
More trail resources
New England and New York are blessed with an abundance of old railroad beds, many of which are rideable on fat-tire bikes.
The best source for rail trail information nationwide is the Rails To Trails Conservancy (railstotrails.org). Just go under "Find A Trail" and click on either a state or a region to find listings. There are 392 open trails in the Northeast totaling over 3,200 miles. Visiting the website, I just discovered a new trail in Maine, the 85-mile Downeast Sunrise Trail that we are going to have to ride soon.
If you ride in the Granite State, be sure to get a copy of Charles F. Martin's book, New Hampshire Rail Trails (nhrailtrails.org/guide.htm), which gives the history of the rail lines along with useful info for today's bikers. The website itself also has some useful links to other trail organizations.
You may have already read of rides we've taken on the Cape Cod Rail Trail (mass.gov/dcr/parks/southeast/ccrt.htm) and Ashuwilticook Rail Trail (mass.gov/dcr/parks/western/asrt.htm) in Massachusetts, the Island Line Trail (trailfinder.info/trail.php?id=1) and Missisquoi Valley Rail Trail (mvrailtrail.com) in Vermont, the Airline State Park Rail Trail in Connecticut (pages.cthome.net/mbartel/ARRabout.htm) and the Aroostook Rail Trail in Maine. If you are interested in these past stories, they may be archived on this newspaper's website. If not, you may find them at EasternSlopes.com or email me and I'll send you a copy.

Medicare Part D - Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage
Under the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA), Medicare beneficiaries are eligible for prescription drug coverage offered by private companies that are contracted with Medicare to provide such coverage. Beneficiaries that enroll in a prescription drug plan are required to pay a monthly premium and also pay a share of the cost of prescription drugs. Costs, prescription drugs covered (i.e., formulary), deductible, and what pharmacies can be used vary by prescription drug plan. However, all prescription drug plans must provide a level of coverage specified by Medicare under Federal law. It is important to study the costs and benefits of the various plans available in Alaska before purchasing a plan. Information about the prescription drug plans available in Alaska can be obtained from the Medicare website at www.medicare.gov or at 1-800-Medicare.
The Medicare Information Office in the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services provides information and assistance to seniors in the State of Alaska. Medicare Information Office can be contacted by telephone at (907) 269-3680 or 1-800-478-6065 (toll-free in Alaska only). In addition, trained Medicare Volunteer Counselors are available in many Alaska communities. Telephone contact numbers and e-mail addresses for trained Medicare Volunteer Counselors can be obtained from the Medicare Information Office website at http://www.hss.state.ak.us/dsds/Medicare. The Medicare Information Office may also be reached by mail at Medicare Information Office, 550 West Eighth Street, Anchorage, Alaska 99501.

In my opinion, the most interesting faction is The Tillers. This faction and the way their reputation works is new to WoW and I think it would be a good place to start and try to tell you as much as we were able to find out about them.
The basics principles for their reputation are the same: you complete some quests for them and those reward you with reputation for The Tilers. However, the Friendship system is a new mechanic that will affect your reputation gains and the quests for this faction.
The story behind this is that you have to help Farmer Yoon take care of his farm, which actually feels like your own farm if you ask me. Yes, this is the part where you build your own farm from scratch and harvest your own vegetables.
If you're interested in becoming a farmer you should level up to 90 and go see Farmer Yoon. Well, you could start tilling at level 86, but I feel that is a bit of a waste, because you wont get any reputation for your work. Either way, Yoon will introduce you to this new activity and will learn you everything you need to know about farming.
At the beginning you'll have to clean the place by removing rocks and then use the revealed soil squares to plant seeds. Your farm will be upgraded gradually as you build up reputation with The Tillers and friendship with their NPCs.
To start farming, you'll need seeds which can be bought from Merchant Greenfield. There are normal seeds, Blossom Tree seeds, and lastly there are special seeds, only available at higher reputation levels.
The normal seeds help you with lots of cooking ingredients, as they are mostly just vegetables. The blossom tree seeds will reward you with vanity items and the special seeds will reward you with profession materials.
There are also 'super' special seeds like Ominous Seed that will reward you with a cute companion, Terrible Turnip. You can use that little fellow for pet battles if you like. I found this particular seed while I was picking my vegetables, but I'm sure there are more special seeds out there to discover
After you plant your seeds you'll have to protect your your plant to help it grow. There is a lot of vermin out there, such as birds, bugs, and bad vines and weeds. You'll have to kill the vermin and the birds, repel the pests, water the dry soil, pull out the bad weed... real farming business, heh.
Your crop should be harvested within 24 hours. I have no idea what will happen to the plants if you do not harvest them.
As I mentioned before, your farm will gain upgrades as you improve your reputation with the Tillers.
- You'll get more soil squares (by the look of the place you'll have around 16 in the end)
- You'll get an irrigation system, a pest repellent system and mass till device
Short example on how the farm looks like and how you can use it.
The Friendship System
There are 10 NPCs that you can gain "friendship" with. Friendship is similar to reputation, but the 42000 points you need from neutral to exalted are divided differently here into 6 segments of 8400 friendship each.
The friendship levels are:
- Stranger: 0 to 8400
- Acquaintance: 8400 to 16800
- Buddy: 16800 to 25200
- Friend: 25200 to 33600
- Good Friend: 33600 to 42000
- Best Friend: 42000 to 42999
Each NPC likes certain things, most of the times food, so you can surprise them daily with their favourite food and if you are lucky to find the ideal gift for them by searching the piles of Dark Soul found around that area, they will become pretty friendly with you. They are some materialistic fellows...
Where the food gift quests are daily, the quests with the special items work as many times as you like per day as long as you find those items.
The rewards for increasing the friendship levels with these NPCs are various. For example, Jogu the Drunk wont charge you anything for his best crop of the day prediction and Sho will mail you the Red Cricket pet.
The daily quests reward you with gold, 5 valor points and charms. Those charms, can be used for the Elder Charms of Good Fortune quest and will help you with the looting rolls.
Beside the rewards, these NPCs will cast a vote for your farm and that will help you grow.
I know a lot of people are against this farming system, but there are also those who really like the idea. Which side are you on and why?

RRS James Clark Ross Research Ship Webcam
The webcam on the RRS James Clark Ross is situated on the Bridge, Port side, and is looking forward. The Radio Officer will usually add a small blurb containing information about where the ship is and what it is doing. This is a particularly interesting webcam as, when not on long sea passages, the scenery changes regularly. Spectacular sunrises/sunsets, stunning Antarctic vistas and the occasional Southern Ocean storm can all be seen from this camera! The update period is every fifteen minutes, with one image being archived every hour. For the most recent, full size image, click here.

The struggling euro currency, the sovereign debt issues of Europe and the growing European economic recession with the implications those developments present to economies throughout the rest of the world continue to confront currency traders more than three years after they first emerged.
Despite a flurry of activity ahead of a European Central Bank (ECB) meeting in early August and promises to do everything possible to save the euro made by ECB President Mario Draghi, foreign exchange traders and analysts were left with the conclusion that little had changed in the slowly unfolding Eurozone drama.
"The central bank ultimately has run into a pushing-on-string type scenario whereby they can do all the QE (quantitative easing) and all the monetary easing they want, but at the end of the day these problems have to be addressed in some way, shape or form. That's probably going to involve pain," says Dave Floyd, head of market strategy for the Aspen Group. "That's what everybody wants to avoid, and that's understandable, but it's probably going to take a while for this thing to unfold and it's probably going to be like a slow train wreck rather than some sort of sharp, drastic event. Most of the potential scenarios that could happen are known at this point. It's that wild card that nobody sees coming."
Floyd notes that the S&P 500 and the euro usually are correlated tightly, but that correlation now is weakening (see "Decline of the euro," below). "The S&Ps may rally five handles, but we're lucky to get a fraction of that move higher in the euro. That is a key sign from a relative strength standpoint that the euro still is under a lot of pressure. We would not be buyers — in fact, we'll be looking to sell the rally," he says.
Floyd says the reason for a tentative downside is that the market doesn't know what is going to unfold in Italy or Spain. "We have a pretty good indication of what they are facing vis-à-vis what we saw in Greece but simply on a larger scale. As those yields continue to rise in Spain and Italy, they cannot finance at those levels. It's simply not possible. So, what we have is a foregone conclusion that there are going to be issues."
Dean Popplewell, senior currency analyst for Oanda Corp., says the euro is in a downward leg. "The intraday charts seem to be convincing most technical analysts that there certainly is scope for further weakness." He notes that many are looking to re-establish single unit shorts on upticks.
"This has been an ongoing play for quite some time. One of the most difficult parts out of all of this is how short the market actually is. It's very much a one-directional play, and we currently are seeing record shorts," Popplewell says.
He adds, "We're not seeing proactive measures by the policy makers in Europe. They seem to be relying more on rhetoric. It is this rhetoric that is providing these short inter-day blips in the currency itself."
Popplewell notes that Spanish yields are close to euro-era highs suggest unsustainable financing levels that put Spain in danger of requiring a formal bailout. Fears of provinces declaring bankruptcy also are behind the suggested floating of a financial bailout from the European Union and International Monetary Fund (IMF), he says.
Fundamental Eurozone data is pointing to a rapid regional slowdown, Popplewell says, noting that Eurozone companies had cut output for the sixth consecutive month in July. "One of the other things that people, and especially capital markets, are focusing on quite heavily is the flight of cash," he says. "Everybody is very fearful of Spain. The market has come to the realization that Greece can be and should be cut loose, but the market is very fearful of a sovereign handout to Spain because of its prominence on the global ladder."
A weaker euro will help the periphery of Europe by easing monetary conditions and helping to stimulate exports, says Marc Chandler, global head of currency strategy for Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. He notes that U.S. fund investments are leaving Europe.
"It is also part of the solution," he adds. "The euro has been overvalued for the better part of a decade. It probably needs to be undervalued for some time." Chandler notes that the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and IMF measures of purchasing power parities recently put the euro at about 3% undervalued. This is negligible because the currency of a major industrialized country typically is plus or minus 20% on the scale (see Trailing the field," below).
Of the G10 currencies, the euro currently is the only one that is undervalued against the dollar, Chandler notes. "Most of the currencies still are overvalued against the dollar," he says. The most overvalued now is the Australian dollar at 38% while Norway is almost as high at 37%.
"What's happened recently in a big kick to the head of mean reversion trades is that the euro was overvalued and now is slightly undervalued," Chandler says. "There also have been very clear trends of Australian dollar higher and euro lower in momentum trading and there have been some carry trades because there are some countries that have negative interest rates."
For example, he notes that Germany's recent two-year yield has been -5 basis points while Switzerland's has been -56, Denmark's -33 and Finland's -2. "So basically what that means is you get paid. We used to think that zero was the lower bound of interest rates, but what's happened in the recent period is we've seen negative interest rates of the creditor nations in Europe," Chandler says. "For the first time, Germen and French two-year interest rates are below Japan's."
In a carry trade you want to sell a low-yielding currency and buy a higher yielding currency, Chandler says. "So for countries like Germany, what that suggests is that the euro can be a carry trade. One could sell the euro and buy a higher yielding currency like the Australian dollar, New Zealand dollar or Canadian dollar (see "Carry opportunities," right). And that's in many ways what has happened."
Ultimately, the situation for the euro is a crisis primarily of confidence, says Ilya Spivak, currency strategist for DailyFX, the research unit of FXCM Inc. "It's not so much that people are afraid that a country like Greece, Italy or Spain will default, the danger is that nobody has any idea what that default would look like."
Spivak says that if anybody had a clear base line for pricing what the worst case scenario likely would be, the markets would reflect that and move on. "But here you don't have any kind of clear precedent for what the end-game is. So, as you continue to face uncertainty, you're going to continue to face downward pressure on the euro as people basically say 'I just have no idea what is going on here,'" he says.
Spivak notes that there is no legislative framework for a country to get out of the Eurozone, and there is no concept of what it means for a country inside a currency union to default when certain other members — notably Germany — are very sound. "It's very difficult to say what the worst case scenario is because the markets have a hard time actually pricing assets based on this," he says.
The main beneficiary of the euro's problems continues to be the U.S. dollar. "It's not so much a vote of confidence in the U.S. economy as a flight out of the various risks, notably Europe. But that still tells you to what extent people would rather let the U.S. Treasury hold onto their money than almost anything else," Spivak says.
Chandler adds, "The dollar is in a bull trend or a rising cycle, which probably still has a bit more time to run. It just so happens that there are uglier sisters at the ball. If I were to bet on what country can reinvent itself, I would bet on the U.S. over Europe and Japan."
The weakening prospects of the euro to serve as an alternative reserve currency also are being accompanied by a weakening outlook in China — partly resulting from recession in Europe — that also is pushing back speculation of the renminbi moving toward internationalization.
The best/worst of the rest
Chandler says the strength of the Japanese yen has been befuddling policy makers, investors and observers. It often is claimed to be a safe haven, even though the country does not have a triple-A rating, has a debt-to-GDP ratio of more than 200% and continues to be plagued by deflation.
But Chandler suggests the safe haven and carry trade claims for explaining pre-crisis periods of weakness for the yen have not been examined closely. He says there are no signs that foreign investors have stepped up purchases of Japanese financial assets to back up the safe haven theory.
"Judging from currency futures, speculators also cannot be cited behind yen strength," he says, noting that the gross long position as of the week ending July 17 was a modest 36,700 contracts. In early February, speculative gross positions were more than 85,000, a multi-year high, but they then fell to a multi-year low near 1,000 by the end of March.
"Japan is no longer the low interest rate country," Chandler says. He adds that Japanese investors are continuing a strong preference for foreign fixed income investments over equities, with the recent four-week moving average of foreign portfolio investment near a two-year high.
Popplewell says that the yen and Swiss franc no longer are being relied upon for safe haven positioning. "The Swiss is tied to the euro at its 1.20 [peg], so the market cannot play that as a safe haven go to," he says (see "No vacancy," below). "With regard to yen, the market is very worried about the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Japan," which have been vocal and increasingly adamant about intervention in their currency.
Such intervention would have a negative portfolio impact, Popplewell says. He adds that "strapping on yen is somewhat of a dangerous scenario short-term" and that buying dollars remains more of a prudent play.
Analysts and traders say the so-called "commodity currencies" are now less tied to commodities than to overall world growth trends. "There's a correlation between Canadian dollar, crude oil and the S&P or the Australian dollar and crude, although Australia is not a major exporter of crude," Spivak says.
"Commodities have been keeping us on the defensive," Floyd says, who notes that a weaker euro, weaker Aussie and weaker S&P all go together.
"If you can gauge with a high degree of certainty where the S&Ps are going vis-à-vis commodity prices — they tend to lead — it helps set us up in the currency market because all of these asset classes are closely tied. It's what we call our version of intermarket analysis," he says.
Floyd adds that the Turkish lira and Singapore dollar also are among safe haven currencies at times when the euro's correlations against other major asset classes break down. "They're not as impacted sometimes by the winds of the S&Ps and other major asset classes that drive currencies," he says.
There are few true safe havens and fewer countries who want to take the import hit of a stronger currency.

As an unapologetic nerd when it comes to both hunting and fitness, I am constantly looking at the link between strength and conditioning as it relates to hunter safety and success. While my obsession with these to topics may be a bit ahead of the curve, I have seen signs that the hunting community, and the industry that caters to it, is beginning to pay attention to the correlation as well. As a perennial forerunner in all things related to deer hunting, D&DH has facilitated this board. Participation has been decent, but somewhat lacking in that there is no real common benchmark by which to gauge a hunter's ability to physically perform in the field.
Veterans will recall regularly taking PT tests in order to track their level of battle readiness. Many fitness communities have established benchmark assessment tests as well. These assessments can be used by new members in establishing a "starting point" as well as seasoned members who use the assessments to mark progress or highlight training deficiencies.
I have been playing around with ways to develop a "sport specific" assessment test can be used by any hunter who wishes to see where they are. The score on this test could be used in conversation here, so that forum members may seek advice and encouragement as they strive to improve. Also this could be used as a way to watch how an individual gains or loses strength and conditioning through their career. I understand that in order to be effective the test must be realistic, both in terms of equipment requirements and in terms of expectations. If you need an Olympic training facility or superhuman ability to take the test, it won't work.
I have a basic test sketched out, but before I dump more time into it I'd like to know if there is any interest. Is there a body of people out there who would like to assist in the development and scoring standards? Would people actually use the test if we made one? Let me know!

The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men." Sir Winston Churchill 1899, The River War.

"Nancy and her staff were wonderful and attentive as they made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The setting is gorgeous, our casita was charming and well-stocked, and steps away from great hiking/climbing trails. The meals were fabulous and healthy(OMG!) and we took advantage of the meditation yurt, the hot tub and the masseuse. Calming, spiritual, and full of adventure and history. For those who want to get away from the crowds and enjoy natural beauty, we'd highly recommend this place. Great for couples and friends to reconnect. "

3 pack all the way!!! If there's one multipack that makes senses it's the Rock People 3 pack! I'd be very disappointed if they didn't include Granita in MOTUC!
2-PACK (Stonedar and Rokkon)
3-PACK (Stonedar, Rokkon, and Granita)
In an effort to get more figures out there, it has been suggested that the Rock Warriors should come packed together. If that ends up being the case, which would you prefer; a 2-pack with Rokkon and Stonedar, or a 3-pack including Granita?

3 pack all the way!!! If there's one multipack that makes senses it's the Rock People 3 pack! I'd be very disappointed if they didn't include Granita in MOTUC!
20 Most needed characters before MOTUC ends...
Heroic: Lizard Man / King Miro / Hawke
Evil: Evilseed
POP: Angella / Madame Razz & Broom / King Micah / General Sunder
Horde: Imp / Entrapta / Vultak / Hunga
POG: Eldor / Veena
SnakeMen: Tung Lashor / Sssqueeze
Rock People: Granita
NA: Darius / Sebrian
Same here. Not including Granita would be a ridiculous move, after everything they've done to obtain Filmation rights. The vintage fans would still buy it because they'd want Rokkon and Stonedar, plus Filmation fans would get a fan-demanded character. It should be a no-brainer.
I'll be very disappointed if we only get a two-pack of the male Rock People.
Most-wanted MOTUC: Madame Razz and Broom - Filmation Kowl - Granita - Hunga the Harpy - Spinnerella - Melaktha - Vultak - Dylamug - Crita
Seeing as ToyGuru shot down any future 3-Packs post-FFM, I have to say 2-Pack. Besides, I want the proper amount of articulation, accessories, paint apps- and it seems putting all three in one pack will shortchange some or all of them a la The Star Sisters. So I say, if they must, put Rokkon & Stonedar in a two-pack and offer Granita on her own card with own accessories etc as a monthly figure. I want these three to come out right
Top Thirteen Most-Wanted: Double Trouble, Entrapta, Sagitar, Quakke, Lord Masque, Eldor, Negator, Peekablue, Mermista, Granita, Dragstor, Crita, Tung Lashor
If we can get the Star Sisters and the Fighting Foe Men as a three-pack, then the far more deserving characters of Rokkon, Stonedar and Granita also deserve to be released as a three-pack.
Voted 3 pack since I think that that is the best way for Granita to make it into the line....
Top Ten MOTUC wants Rio Blast, Sagitar, Lizard Man, Tung Lashor, Mermista, Sssqueeze, Ninjor, Great Black Wizard, Fang-or, Dragstor
A Rock-Warrior 3-Pack is one of the best examples of a 3-Pack that would sell. People are familiar with and love the vintage toys and the characters from the cartoon - they're not in the level of obscurity like the Star Sisters and the even more obscure Fighting Foe Men. Obscurity does not equal "I want to pay a lot of money for it".

Well considering what this thread and poll asks... 3 pack
We all 'ROCK' \m/ or we don't.
I would suggest they released them individually. Since it's a whole new tooling, you can use it later (should we still have the line after 2014) you can have a saved tooling slot down the road for another figure. Now a 2-pack would guarantee we got everything from the original line, but the three pack would be best to get Granita just in case Mattel have a fear she may not be a strong enough to be placed in a slot. But with the price it may also be safe to sell a 2-pack and make her a sub or some kind of exclusive.
'Tis the wind and nothing more.....
I'd very excitedly plunk down for a three pack. The Rock People are quite dear to me: at the top of my wants list alongside Mantenna, Glimmer, Two-Badd, and Idiphus!
If they can actually transform, great! If not, toss in their "Rick" forms too.
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
Jungle Attack He-Man in Classics!
Though I'm down for a 3pk, that $75+ price tag scares away too many people. They should get rid of the 3pks altogether.
Stonedar and Rokkon in a 2pk, and Granita on a single card. Schedule them on 2 adjacent months or all in one month.
3 pack is the best chance at getting Granita. I have to say a 2 pack or 3 pack is the way to go with these guys. I defiantly want them together. also it would be a waist to use the limited amount of ***** for three monthly figures. I also don't want to wait for each one either.

I'd be disappointed if they didn't do a 3 or 2 pack. it is a no brianer not to.
- - - Updated - - -
I think a 3 pack for these rock warriors would be better accepted. the star sisters & FFM are more obscure & not everyone has a connection or want for them. but the rock warriors were well known vintage toys. I think more would want them.
Wish List: Eldor, Skeleton Warriors, King Argho, Horde Wraiths, Kobolds, Prahvus, Lord Masque, Rock Monster, Gen. Tartaran, Evil Seed, Carnivorous Plant, Lizard-Man, Hawke, Crimson Fury, Melaktha, Spinwit, Ra-Jarr, Kelclar, King Miro, Dare, Missile-Toe, Sh'gora, Vizar, Harpy, ABC Giants, Lodar, Dragoon, Darius, Negator, Masks of Power Demons, Slob-Boar, Bubblor, Three-Beast, Nocturna
I personally have less interest in the Rock Warriors without Granita. I really want to see more non-human females in MOTUC.
"Don't crowd me boys!"
Individual packouts. . no option?
I agree. I think if the Rock Warriors come together, they should make it a 3-pack with Rokkon, Stonedar, and Granita!
Are you reading this, Scott?
- - - Updated - - -
Not for the purposes of this poll, no. With the next couple years focusing on getting as much out as possible, viable multi-packs may be an answer. And the Rock Warriors seem like a logical choice for such a thing.
I would love every character to be sold individually, but that might not be the case anymore if we still want to get them all.
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Scott has indicated that rather they do figures individually or in multi-packs it does't make a difference because either way each figure takes up one production Sku.
So in other words if hypothetically upper management decides MOTU Classics will only get 12 production skus in next years sub then that means we only get 12 figures period. Rather if they release them as 12 singles, 6 two-packs, or 1 giant twelve-pack it doesn't matter. Either way we only get 12 figures. So thus doing multi-packs in fact is not a "loop hole" for getting out more figures faster. Based on the way Mattel management looks at it releasing them as 1 two-pack is the same as doing them as 2 singles.
I could be wrong about this and if someone has info otherwise please share but I'm pretty sure this is what Scott has said. This is also why we won't get that Spaceman suit figure with our Castle Grayskull because as cool as it would be to include it, putting another figure in the package would mean having to give up one of the allotted figure production skus even if that figure is packaged with something else (be it a castle or another figure).
That said I wouldn't mind a Rock people 3 pack. My preference is to do them all individually but having them as a three pack for SDCC or something could be a lot of fun. I never had the Rock people as a kid so getting these in Classics is something I'm really looking forward to.
Three pack, please! Omitting Granita feels like a step backward, to me.
3-PACK (Stonedar, Rokkon, and Granita)
Might as well.
2 Two packs. Rokkon and Stonedar, and Granita and Facet. Gettting even more out of a bucks. That's the way i would go. If not 3 pack all the way.
I want a 3-pack definitely!
Now, should they have a POP sticker or not, is the actual question!

With YouTube-MP3.org, Google Gets a Dose of DisruptionCorporate Counsel 2012-08-21 00:00:00.0 Over the last decade, Google Inc. has earned a reputation for rabble-rousing by pushing the limits of the traditional marketplace. But a recent confrontation underscored Google's own rapidly changing circumstances: The tech giant and its rebel lawyers were on the receiving end when a 21-year-old student stood up to Google's YouTube division. At the heart of the commotion is Philip Matesanz, a computer science major who lives with his parents in Germany. In 2009 he launched YouTube-MP3.org, a website that enables users to rip audioprimarily musicfrom YouTube videos and convert it to mp3. The service is free for users; Matesanz earns revenue from ad sales. He won't disclose his earnings, but he's apparently doing well. He says he spends a "six-digit euro figure" on annual site maintenance. It's unclear when Google learned about the service, but its first response was a cease-and-desist letter, sent this past June, telling Matesanz that his website violated YouTube's terms of service agreement. The writer, Harris Cohen, associate product counsel in YouTube's San Francisco office, gave Matesanz a week to shut downor face possible "legal consequences." Matesanz hasn't backed down from what he calls a "David versus Goliath" battle. In an interview, he says that Google is treating him "like a big corporate enemy" instead of the inexperienced young adult that he is. Besides, he adds, two copyright lawyers in Germany assured him that he's complying with his country's laws. Google refused to make Cohen or other members of its law department available for interviews. But in an email, a spokesperson for YouTube said, "We have always taken violations of our terms of service seriously and will continue to enforce" them. They specifically prohibit applications that "store copies of YouTube audiovisual content." So far Google has shown no inclination to sue. But Matesanz says that in June, YouTube did compromise his business by blocking his servers' access to its site. Since then, more than half of his conversion attempts have failed. He could circumvent the problem by using available software, but he prefers not to play what he says would be "a cat and mouse game." What Matesanz wants is a dialogue with Google about how best to meet users' needs. He says he's contacted "lots of Googlers," but hasn't received any real response. So he turned his request into a cause by starting a petition on Change.org to gather signatures of supporters. At press time there were more than 1 million. He plans to print the list and present it to a Google office. "They always say they focus on users' rights," he says. "It would be very embarrassing for Google if they were to read 1 million signatures and ignore them." Experts disagree about the legality of third-party recording. One of the lawyers advising Matesanz, Philipp Redlich of Härting Rechtsanwälte in Berlin, said in an email that German copyright law permits making single copies for private use. YouTube's terms of service don't apply, he added, because Matesanz never agreed to them. Under the German Civil Code, standard business terms don't become part of a contract unless they're affirmatively accepted. Simply accessing YouTube's platform doesn't qualify, he argued. U.S. copyright law prohibits the unauthorized reproduction of copyrighted material. But Sherwin Siy, legal director of Washington, D.C.based advocacy group Public Knowledge, says the issue is "fair use." While there's no strict formula to determine whether and how it would apply, the U.S. Supreme Court held in Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios the 1984 "Betamax" case that recording television broadcasts didn't amount to copyright infringement. "Time shifting" content was deemed permissible, and Siy finds a parallel in Matesanz's recorder. "I would find it hard to distinguish this from recording a television show," he says. But if Siy can't find a distinction, the Recording Industry Association of America can. Steven Marks, the RIAA's GC, says that unlike broadcast recording, conversion sites create new products. "A lot of people want to extend Betamax," he says, "but what's happening here is not time shifting." The RIAA works with Google on a variety of matters, and Marks says it's cooperative. But the association is frustrated by the ease with which Google can be used to access unauthorized music and by Google's sometimes lax enforcement: "This is front and center the issue we talk to Google about addressing." These days, Google has added incentive to crack down. Financially, it has a lot to lose. The company generates revenue from advertising on YouTube, so it loses money when users download files instead of returning to hear them again. Third-party recording services also cut into Google's ability to sell music on Google Music, the online store it launched last November to compete with iTunes and Amazon MP3. Google's purchase of YouTube in 2006 also brought a new set of liabilities, not least of which was a billion-dollar lawsuit brought by Viacom Inc. Google won the first round, but in April the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit revived Viacom's claims that material on YouTube infringed its copyrights. Is Google trying to avoid similar claims spurred by audio recording? Jon Grossman, an IP lawyer at Dickstein Shapiro, says, "Google has to be careful" about knowing that the Matesanz site is out there "and not doing anything about it." The company now has a foot in both worlds. It's similar to a television network, says Grossman, and he's starting to see its interests align with those of rights holders. That would seem to leave a certain German student out of Google's circles of trust and stuck in the square of persona non grata. |
