You know the drill. You get up and you think you could get lucky today. You get ready and put on some nice clothes so you can at least feel presentable if you happen to get checked out.

It all started out so innocent. The MOTU display stands had sold out, and one forlorn fan just wanted to know when they would show up again on MattyCollector.Com. So he made the arduous trek to the Mattel forum and asked the great Oz. Little did this MOTU fan know that the answer he would receive would start a controversy that spread like wildfire across the sites that cover MOTU Classics.
