So, these Disney-Marvel figures...

[Tiberiusguy]

Hope it’s not a double post…
I caved and bought a set for $140US +shipping to Canada. It might be one of my last purchases, I’m feeling exclusives fatigue. If the next set is FF w/ new bodied Thing and Sue, maybe.

Happy to report my set came in yesterday. I haven't had a chance to open it, but it looks fantastic. Great job to everyone at Mego who worked on it. I know Andrew Covalt sculpted the Electro head and the bonus Spidey coin, and they look wonderful. I plan on freeing Electro and keeping the other three in their boxes on display, since I have nice original copies of each. I will probalby put the outer box with the back facing out behind my Marvel Megos.

There are still a lot of folks who didn't get and aren't going to get a set of these. I don't think people should be expected to contact a buyer and pay a premium to get something like this, or go to ebay and pay even more. It makes no financial sense for Disney or Mego, even, as they aren't making any additional money this way. These kinks need to be worked out for sure.

I'm sure they'll get this worked out in time. It sure seems like this is more of a logistics issue than anything, given that the parks seem to restock these daily with no issues. Despite whatever has been said, clearly these have not "sold out" but the online allocation was probably far too low and the whole rollout was bungled from the start. Unfortunately this isn't the first time this has happened to Mego (looking at you Topps) but this is much higher stakes and probably much more damaging overall given the popularity of these particular characters.

I wonder what kind of longterm damage is done when stuff like this happens. The amount of people I've seen who've paid a rather significant upcharge to get these through the Disney shoppers is a good sign for the demand for these, but also is a strike against their availability and general amount that people are willing to pay. They're priced pretty fair (especially with coupons) but if you can't actually obtain them at that price but actually have to pay nearly twice that to actually get them... It's not a sustainable model long term.

It will eventually probably be rectified, but again, I do wonder if there won't be some damage done if for no other reason that having these be available on Disney's online store over the holidays, etc would have potentially grown the line, certainly beyond the fanbase of people willing to pay a markup to have personal shoppers buy them.

Amen to that.

Just to close out - the set arrived today and it’s pretty cool, of course. But if the powers that be are reading this, while I appreciate the chase as much as the next collector, I hope the future sets are not this stress filled…..

Just got my email that my Mego Marvel set has shipped! I was starting to wonder!

Glad to see this.

BIG thumbs up! Good news for others for some type of notice waiting too.

I too have Jan 30 as the date and no emails and since that is 3 weeks out it's gives them time to run out and cancel so I'll wait and see . not looking forward to the next wave of this
mess .

I got my order and I am already anxious about the next round too. Maybe some adjustments will be made after this first round, now that they see the demand (if the demand remains, after so many people missed out on this first set). But I realize how lucky I was to add to my cart, enter the coupon code, select payment, checkout and not have it all for naught.

It's really weird how they are processing these. We all ordered on the same day, yet some have already received these, and others like me haven't even gotten an email and it says they are due to arrive on the 30th.

Of course, I shouldn't complain, because at least, as of right now, I am still supposedly getting a set, which many folks unfortunately weren't able to, despite their best efforts.

Tracking info said it would arrive between 2 PM and 4 PM this afternoon and despite some winter precipitation going on, the doorbell rang at 3:59 PM. So kudos to the UPS Driver!

I want to thank everyone that has posted updates here. It was a huge help amid the confusion. I am thankful there was a place to coordinate findings and gain some clarity when information was hard to get.

I’m quoting this for the weather delay, I’ll try to edit it… I was working for a fedex party, and told my story about a other service, telling me it was delayed due to bad weather. I live 10 minutes from the airport, and there was Zero issue. Apparently they make the declaration, to assure their quota are not soiled. This was around Xmas, and we had a postal strike…

Well-said; I agree.

Now displayed prominently so I can gaze upon the magnificence of this set. It really is a great accomplishment and everybody involved should be proud of its realization. That's not to dismiss the angst The Disney Debacle has caused The Loyal and Faithful Mego Supporters, but that's a separate issue and stands apart from my appreciation for the work and drive that went into making Marvel Mego figures a reality. And what a fantastic! reality it is.
