What a Lump O' Coal!

[ChrisM]

I actually thought it was such a nice gesture of McF to send out Christmas Card emails, but when I opened it it was another lousy commercial for Guitar Hero :(. If you didn't get it, it's a link to allow you to send Guitar Hero-based e-Cards to your friends. I have never seen a line with so many gimicks and ploys

Shudder the thought of a Spawn-based e-Card!

I got it also.

What can ya' say? they seem desperate to try to convince people they want these things.

Joe said the retailers are happy with the line, so it must be selling. If we here don't buy it, doesn't mean that no one else does..

I'm ok with it, but really, I think I'd have been much happier if there was a santa spawn ecard with a sentence from todd wishing me happy holidays. Getting something like that would really have made my day.

If we here don't buy it, doesn't mean that no one else does..

As a general statement, that's true enough... but when we see the same figures... litterally the same figures, not re-stock of the same character (imperfections on the packages, layer of dust... someone said they wrote their initials in dust, etc) then they're obviously not being bought by anyone else either. ;)

So sure, retailers may have been happy to see more GH merchandice come up, due to sales of the game, but we'll wait and see how many of them order series 2 of the figs.

And just to save "someone" the effort later of asking me to prove that someone said the bit about initials in the dust, here's the quote ....

I think a total of 2 Guitar Fail-O figs have sold in the last month or so. They are literally collecting dust. I put my initials in the dust on one of the gold guitar versions two weeks ago and it's still there undisturbed.

Am I the only one thinking "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine"?

Nope, but I got something much better in my email! An order confirmation of a HT TDK Batman! Totally beats that crappy email!

[Uwe]

yes.

No, because I'm thinking it now.
