My second set from Disney came in this morning.

Well thanks to my precious Aunt who works at Disneyland, I now have a MEGO Fantastic Four set. Just opened them all up today. It's a fantastic set

Along with Spidey, the Thing has always been one of my favorite Marvel heroes. I spent hours and hours playing with them in the 70's. Never thought I'd see them or get them again.
Such joy!

Congrats on getting the set and along with the Spidey set too. The coins on the two sets look to be a different color?
the Spider-Man set looks like a gold coin and the FF set looks like a copper color coin unless it’s a trick of the light?

Its a lighting effect, they are the same color and material.

Very nice touch those coins, just like the one in the Two Face box.

My sets from a Disney shopper came in Yesterday !

Was real happy and a little mad since was charged a stupid amout of duty on these.

Then I read my emails this morning. my bank sent me a email stating that I had a charge on Friday from the Disney store. I have another set coming my way from the Disney store ! The Disney email went to my spam box.

I managed to put in 2 orders with Disney, the first one came in, the second order gave me a date of Aug 17. I was certain that it was going to be canceld... well, its on the way !

I was one of the "back-ordered and arriving August 15th" people. Just got an email with a tracking number and notice that it shipped today (August 1st).

Me, too. Hooray!

I got home to find the set my daughter ordered for me on the steps. It was such a thrill to open up the exterior box, to find that gleaming blue packaging within.

As I took it out, I especially admired the Torch artwork, and how Johnny’s red and yellow stood out. Then I realized: “Wait a sec. That’s the BACK of the Torch’s box!”

For a moment, I feared that the box was empty, or that the Torch had been switched out. But it turned out to simply be the Torch box having been put in backwards.

What a great set.

And to top it off, I got a notification that the set I ordered just shipped. What timing.

I still think it quite odd how my daughter got in the ordering queue a couple of minutes after me, and yet was placed around 150 people ahead of me.

I really, really hope that the third time is charm, and that the ordering and process for the subsequent sets and figures are smoother.

Getting these things (not Ben Grimm) shouldn’t be nearly as much of a hassle as they are!

But what a sweet trip down memory lane.

That's good news! Hopefully all of the cancellations were done and all the backordered orders that survived get shipped.

I didn't actually receive the set yet. Hopefully will in a couple of days.

As for the Disney Shopper, did you use the same one that I did? I discovered there are many shoppers out there now. They seem to be quite in demand now - not just for the MEGO sets, but for many other Disney products (clothing, pins, jewelry, etc.) that people cannot otherwise obtain where they are.

No, I used a Shopper called Tammy that was refered on here. She Told me that she didnt get enough sets to fill her orders so far so Hope that I will get mine. I asked for you, she told me she could not garantee to anyone new.

So happy that you still manadge to get one. That duty charge is really bad !

I think, too, that the absence of a new figure--like Dr. Doom or Sub-Mariner--dulled excitement.

I agree with you.

I looked at the EU site, my checkout bag says it doesn’t ship to Canada. I only used guest checkout., it also says October shipment.

In the list of countries that they ship to, it actually says they will ship to Canada. But not to the USA.

I didn't know about this option before I purchased from the Disney Shopper. But who knows what may happen between now and October? So, if you can get them now for a not-too-horrible price, it might be preferable to buy them now.

Holly cheese... You got one before me and I had ordered one from a Personal shopper 2 weeks prior of online release !

She told me that the figures sold out and she did not get enough to fufill all her orders and I am on a waiting list.

Really starting to hate this Disney Marvel system.
