Matty's Valentine for Geeks

Matty's doing it again, calling their customers geeks and trying to sell them stuff...
While now that "nerd culture" has become popular and "Geek is now mainstream" it feels a bit odd having advertisements calling their customers geeks...

It rubs me the wrong way. Look at the pic below with the Definition of Geek.
 While, I'm certain that Mattel refers to the Second definition of Geek; the Stigma that the word Geek has is tied to the third definition. (As an insult I endured a lot during High School, so I may be a bit Biased. Remember when Nerd was an insult too? I do.)

Now I'm not going to dwell in the semantics but go for the whole Valentine's day thing... Valentine's Day guide for Geeks... (OK I lied; I will go back to it...)
Geeks are the ones who end up alone on V-Day feeling like crap when everyone else seems to have their own special someone to share the day with.

OK, so let's pretend that the geek (who happens to be male) has a girlfriend who is not a fictional character. Now you followed Matty's advice of printing the Pic, because they'd have no way of guessing what you'd like and where you can get it... Not to mention that printing that pic makes you look like a douche. I understand Christmas or Birthday Presents and usually these items can be obtained everywhere. Now "forcing" your loved one to go through the Matty Hassle for these expensive items is ludicrous... (This sales pitch almost makes the epic fail certificates look like masterpieces)

Since this geek is biased towards MOTU, let's use Grayskull as the example.

So the pic on the left shows you what happens when your loved one orders:
a) Castle Grayskull
b) Castle Grayskull AND He-Man
c) He-Man

(all shipping costs are the Estimated Shipping costs for Continental US ans using USPS Ground... Shipping to Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and the rest of the world may be a bit more.)

That Loved one better LOVE HER Geek SO FREAKING MUCH to get him this...
Candy is dandy, Candy is Cheap, Candy cannot be returned to or destroyed by an angry ex.

I know that Mattel is trying to sell the items. I don't blame them, since that's their job. Problem is that these promotions are a bit lame. The people who get them are ALREADY Mattycollector customers and are very likely to have said items. If they don't then this "sales pitch" will be useless.
Significant others not always understand the joy of collecting. Especially for a $370 (plus taxes) castle.

Now sure, there are other items:

Neutrino Wand... Yeah, you need some stuff with that wand:
-Nuclear Reactor Backpack that Mattel hasn't made yet.
-Ghost Trap that is no longer available (Originally a $130 item IIRC)
-$110 Ecto Goggles
-$70 PKE Meter
So: a $310 order + S&H and Taxes Plus hunting for the trap somewhere else...
If your significant other buys this, you'd better put a ring on her/him!

Sure, there's the $125 Bat Belt that doesn't fit most of the heavier fans. Nor you can put the Batarang inside its pouches as it was promoted.

As I was saying, trying to push the most expensive Matty items on your loved ones is the fastest way to break-up city! So with a depressed geek, Mattel can sell them more toys in order to give him the collector's high and Mattel gets more money, since the geek is not spending money in "competition"...
Holy crap! This is more devious than I expected!!
