So, these Disney-Marvel figures...

[warlock664]

Wow...sold out already. Hopefully with the success of this set, Disney would consider individual figures down the line

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.

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?

[toyman]

Yep I sure did

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

[PuckRobin]

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.

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

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.

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.

They’re back up at 6:41 EST. If yours was cancelled go get them!

Belay this last. When I posted the message, you could still "add to bag", but now it is grayed-out and says "sold out".

Edited to say that it now says "coming soon". I've now seen three iterations of that page in the last few minutes.

Showing "Sold Out" for me.

[Oldtoydave]

I had a set in my cart and got to the check out and took them out. I wanted to see if others could get them. Now they show sold out for me as well. Hopefully they come

This made me check my card and yep, they have already charged the item despite saying it was a pre-order and wouldn't charge until shipped.

I got the cancellation notice.
My order went through at 8:02 PT, so I felt confident that I had slid through. While I would have liked to get them, this will save me the trouble of trying for any of the future releases, as I’m not going to work this hard to try to buys toys I don’t really need anyway (I had been checking the Disney Store website pretty much non-stop since the announcement, even after they said they’d be live today at 8am PT).
I have to assume bots were programmed to buy the majority of these, or they severely underproduced. Frustrating. I was lucky enough to find the Big Lots DC exclusives in store last year, but that was a poorly handled situation as well.

[TRAVELING MEGO HULK]

Yeah -after all of that & finally getting the order through this morning, wound up with the cancellation notice @3:30pm.

Not any way to do business, IMO .

Think I'm done with this going forward.
