It was a followup line to the GoBots produced be Tonka in 1986 that featured
transforming rock people known as the Rock Lords. The story follows Boulder,
the leader of the rebels against the evil Magmar and his cohorts! I myself own
a Boulder toy, and it features amazing articulation and detail not really seen
anywhere else! Unfortunately the brand never made it past the theatrical film,
and it along with GoBots was cancelled. now you can only find it on Bootleg DVD.

I love MASK! it really is a shame that other than a few comic book reboots, MASK
has never been that popular compared to other brands.

| My find wasn't nearly as cool.
I was feeling packets* and found one with 2 heads, so I bought it thinking it
was Pinocchio. Nope, it was Tiana with 2 heads.
I never saw that film, so I wasn't really interested in having her, but the
figure is actually quite nice.

| | | | | Thank you Russell. I did forward it to them, however why could the help desk
agent not forward it and let me know in the future I need to send corrections
to the API documentation there?
|
Because the API channel is completely separate from the Help Desk. In order to
properly get into the API channel, the user must report directly to that email
address. Otherwise, the request can get lost or it's difficult to respond
back to the original user. We've had such problems in the past of messages
being misdirected or falling through the cracks that we are trying to be pretty
strict about this. This is what our Help Desk agents are instructed to do - it's
not about whether they feel like forwarding a message or not.

I'm going to go against the grain here and say that while the spam is annoying,
it's not something that I think is a critical issue. I see 1-2 spam messages
per day, they're obvious spam, I can just scroll on by. Compared to the amount
of spam I see in my emails every day, this is nothing.
