    Did they mean "Obey", like in that old Maaza promo pic?

    Looks like something out of "They Live" - except I don't have my special shades on.

    I'm guessing it's going to be a new Mother.

    As long as its not a new Galtan we're cool, 'coz I've already spent a stupid amount of money on toys this month with all the Blobpus releases.

    Not that I regret it, though ;)

    Not me, count me well out on this one- barring money falling from the sky, and even then maybe :)

    I'm rolling my eyes back slowly while tilting my head, shrugging my shoulders upwards tightly to my head, swiftly turning my cubicle chair around 360 degrees and muttering..."Ehhhh...Aheh" :razz:

    Hmm won't be much of an invasion unless its a big run, but maybe that's just wishful thinking.

    Most of the Mother posts on various Japanese blogs introduced Mother with: OBEY! So, yes, I think Lixx is right in the prediction. (Another Lost In Translation moment. :) )

    Guys I don't know anything. I just was thinking it was a mother that's all. Clarified meant I knew PK was just joking with me.

    Dear Zollmen, what's an OBAY?
    We're more likely to call an aussie redneck a YOBO but not a YABO. Never heard anyone called a yabo here in Australia.

    i don't think i know any aussie rednecks in my everyday life, but i might start calling random people yabos and hope it catches on as the new, hip slang word...
