That New Toy Smell

Welcome to the first podcast of 2012 for the Masters of the Universe Chronicles. Today Mike and Chris don't have the Q&A from Mattel to go over but as I'm sure you are aware there were several problems that Mattel and Digital River had in the months of December and January.  Mike and Chris cover some of the following

1. Demo-Man Delay

2. Shipment delay for people who have 30th anniversary subscription

3. Delays in the figures until July time

All this and much more on this very long but very informative edition of Masters of the Universe Chronicles.  Many happy returns to Dylan Cook whose birthday was on this day we recorded 17th January and a major happy birthday to Mike whose birthday is on the 25th January.  Make sure to head to James Sawyer's YouTube pagewww.youtube.com/user/motuclassics.  He is doing a giveaway for James Eatock's Unofficial cartoon guide to He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
