I just ordered the stupid subscription service...but I noticed a little too late that I forgot to change the year on the CC expatriation date before I hit submit. I changed it to 2018 just as the page refreshed, but I wonder if it took?
the order was confirmed, so I guess we'll see. always something..
It'd be nice if matty updated their website to 2016 standards so it would be easy to check on and change things.
sigh.
and here I thought I was done with this terrible company when heman ended ;o).

Yeah apparently Matty does little bit of fear mongering indicating that if the subscription quota is not met, the line won't continue. And somehow during the final days, the quota gets fulfilled and the figures are green lighted.
yep, this is exactly how they operate. and it's mostly 'met' thanks to people on other boards buying 6 subscriptions at a time. How you can afford more than one I'll never know.
This whole matty website had the vibe of 'used car salesman' ever since it started, and that toy guru character didn't help things either. Ahh, the times where things where blamed on the consumer for going wrong, and when a fake matty faker mascot was brought out at cons as a scapegoat. good times.
sigh.
you'd think a company as big as mattel can afford to bring things in store AND online in this day and age without resorting to fear tactics or blaming the consumer.
