    I agree with Warlock, I don't think we'll see individual figures.

    I'm disturbed to hear of order cancellations. I haven't received one--yet. But WalMart is notorious for this (and shipping delays, too), so I'm not surprised by Disney, either.

    Edit: And now relisted? Something's off here, I hope scalpers aren't the only happy customers.

    I don't know what the heck is going on with all of this, but they are (as of 6:35 PM Eastern) back on the website.

    In response to overwhelming demand, Mego Corp. has relaunched their classic 8'' action figure line. This exclusive four-figure set, which includes Spider-Man, Green Goblin, the Lizard, and an all-new Electro, comes in vintage-style Mego packaging inside an outer box. The set includes a collectible metallic coin with classic Spider-Man art and Mego logo. Each figure has 26 points of articulation, exact replicas of the vintage Mego accessories, and removable silkscreen costumes.

    Order confirmed at 11:03 Eastern; received email at 4:31 Eastern that it was canceled. So bummed!

    Anyone else notice that their credit card has the charge on it when the email claims it wouldn’t be charged too?

    I guess they don’t ship the product but ding our cards for a few days. Lovely.

    Either they made only 20 copies or some eBay scam artists created some program to purchase mass quantities instanteously.

    Disney did me dirty. I got up today and bought my set at 8:04am. Just got a note that said my order has been canceled due to high demand? 4 mins in? I called customer service and the said sorry. Nothing they can do except give me a one time $15 off code for a future purchases. “Have a Magical Day!l. Ugh

    Anyone else place their order successfully and then get an email four hours later saying they have gone out of stock and the order is cancelled?

    People keep voicing this desire, but unless I’m mistaken, it isn’t a possibility because of restrictions due to a master Marvel license held by Hasbro.
    if you recall, when Diamond was releasing their Marvel “Mego” figure sets, they could only do them as higher-priced boutique items, thus we got deluxe sets with a vintage-style costume set, a more accurately detailed costume set, a secret identity costume set, and one body. Hasbro’s license gave them exclusivity to lower-priced individual releases (which they never acted on).
    So I assume that restriction still exists, and Mego can only do Marvel figures as higher-priced sets. I could be wrong, but I don’t know why they’d be doing 4-packs exclusively if they didn’t have to.

    Wow...sold out already. I hope those who wanted a set was able to get one. I'm waiting for the FF, Thor and Ironman. I only wanted Spiderman, so this set was a pass for me. Hopefully with the success of this set, Disney would consider individual figures down the line

    I wouldn't be surprised to see them available again later on, if not, maybe after the 25% sale ends on Monday.

    Has anyone heard anything about whether or not these will be available in (physical) Disney Stores at some point?

    Congratulations to all of you who secured a set.
    I have an aunt who works at Disney, so I was able to have her snag one for me the week they came out. I had to pay a little more, but I really wanted these in time for Christmas.
    It's a fantastic set! I think you all will love it.

    You can still get them. The site is just glitching apparently. I just went back in, added and set to my cart and got all the way to the final “purchase” and took them out. I could have easily gotten another set but didn’t.

    please try again, you should have luck…

    You were right, persistence does pay-off after all. 25th try was the charm!
    Thanks.

    Ah! I can still add it to my cart, but I get that message when I try and check out.

    Hopefully it’s intermittent and comes back in-stock.
