Hey gang,
I'm a member over at statueforum.com. They sometimes offer forum exclusive pieces. I think if you go there now, you'll see they have a "zombie wolverine" statue as their exclusive statue. I know you guys have sponsors in the form of Entertainment Earth and what not, but do you think the lounge should get a forum exclusive Mugg?
Personally, I think it'd be pretty cool. I know the Transformers fanclub gets exclusive toys each year. What would it take to get an exclusive mugg produced for the Mighty Muggs Lounge?
Last, but not least: who's with me?!

It's a fabulous idea but probably still off on the horizon somewhere. While the growth of the Lounge has been phenomenal , it's likely that such things are still a ways in the future...
Jose is always trying to look over the horizon, so at some point, who knows.....

That will be a great idea. Would love to see that happen.
Perhaps some kinda translucent Mugg that has Mighty Muggs Lounge printed on the body.

That would be sweeeeet. I'd previously given some thought to the economics of it. A large distributor like Diamond, EE or Toy 'R' Us is safe for Hasbro to make the exclusives for because they know in advance that they're all sold and hence will be paid (these companies are all on extended NET payment terms as well).
It's a bit different for a community like ours. Someone would likely have to pony up the dough for 2-3 THOUSAND Muggs IN ADVANCE for Hasbro to do something like that I'd imagine.
It's an exclusive, with really just means "small # manufactured", making each piece more expensive because there are fewer pieces to spread the manufacturing/development cost over. So say, the wholesale/direct cost is $10/mugg for an exclusive with a run of 2000 (it's probably closer to $12). That's $20000 that Hasbro is going to want in advance. There's no way they are going to do an exclusive to anyone but their big distributors unless it's paid in advance. Someone at the Lounge would also have to have a wholesaler's license in their state to buy direct from Hasbro at all.
It just so happens that I do, so someone get that 20 grand from under their mattress and lets get our exclusive on!

Alright gang! You heard Muggcrazy....it's time to start a Lounge Exclusive charity event.
We're only $20,000 shy of our target mark!
Let's keep those donations coming!

Wow that is a awesome idea. I absolutely would love to see MML EX's eventually. But like MightyFanatic said, it is probably some time away. But still great, great idea. Maybe it'll be my Mystique?  Jose? |

Now that would be sweet; but how would we ever decide what it would be?  |

I think it would be more like Hasbro saying, "Here's what we've got in development, pick one to be your exclusive...but not one we expect will sell particularly well"
