Speaking of which...
Toynami Still no final word on the Robot Devil and Destructor, but as soon as we do we'll let you know https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=452136548196988&set=a.138949412849038.34395.124287344315245&type=1
Man, Toynami is pathetic. How long does it take to decide whether you are going to sell something that you've long since prototyped, boxed up and have already put out for preorders?
Does it mean that preorders have been disappointing? Don't see how that could be with Destructor. I emailed, BBTS to ask why no preordering yet on this one. Their answer was that they weren't aware of the product and thanked me for the heads-up.
So I don't know WTF is going on, but seems to me like Toynami is dropping the ball somewhere here. Not surprising, since it seems like they have dropped every kind of ball possible with this line over recent years. It's become a perfect case study in how not to manage a toyline.
Anyway, no point in ranting about it anymore. Think I will just go back to ignoring all this. And if anything ever comes up for preorder on BBTS, I'll order it. Otherwise, it was a good run, until it all went pear-shaped. Just like the show really...
Wait a minute I just saw this post. I thought they said the Robot Devil talking fig was cancelled. Now there's no final word? WTF is going on at Toynami HQ? Gives me a shred of hope (0.05%) that maybe we'll see Lrrr and Morbo.

I got one Blob item - I was disappointed that a lot of the liquid was evaporated, but the seller was nice and threw in the current futurama comic at the time and some postcards from the movies as well as one of the tear-out cards from the 2000 TV Guides they were featured on, so I wasn't that upset. I notice it's impossible now to get one that is completely full. The one I have has Bender in it too.

Ah, I see, that's why I was hesitant to shell out 60 or so bucks for a MIP Brain Slug, even if it is rare. Glad I made the right choice.

I got a feeling that if u preordered it before rumours of a cancellation happened then u were likly to receive it probably because there isn't enough to go round
i'm sorry, but that's the stupidest thing i've ever read on this forum. if its canceled, as toynamis stated, then no...just because you preordered it doesnt mean they're making the actual product. I hate to face the fact that were probably never going to get another figure. years we have waited with prototype after prototype release dates thatve never been acurate. the only way figures are getting out of toynami is if they do limited runs. i.e. SDCC, toyfare, etc. morbos been slated for release 'pending licensor approval' for to damned long. does someone have to send toynami a goats head ina fed ex box like ol boy did to the owner of the cubs to get some attention. toynamis too concerned with anime figures anyways. which makes me wonder why they never did the anime futrama figues.
