    So, I placed the item in my cart at 11:00 EST yesterday. I was checking out by 11:02, but it said they were out of stock. I kept refreshing, and at 12:45, the sale went through. I started seeing messages that people's orders were cancelled. Sure enough, a few hours later, I got a message that mine was cancelled too.

    I'm not proud of this, but I went to ebay and bought one of the lower priced ones on the site. It's a good $75 more than I would have paid if the Disney sale went through, but I decided that it was worth the extra money not to have this anxiety. I just hope the ebay seller's orders are not cancelled.

    I will add that Disney not only did a terrible job, but their messages on the site "Oops! This item is out of stock! But we have plenty more for you to love!" are beyond annoying.
    The whole experience has been infuriating.

    We were told to relax and PLENTY would be available once it went on sale at Disney Store online. We had multiple drop dates of when it would go live before it did.

    Once it went live, I placed an order immediately at 8am PT on December 22nd. Order confirmed. Then 5 hours later, order canceled. No word yet on why this was so botched or if we will get any more chances to purchase these. Just a fail from top to bottom.

    I also caved and purchased one on eBay at an annoying markup. I'm just concerned if these are truly sold out at a retail level, the prices will just continue to explode on eBay.

    It really shouldn't be this frustrating to order a product, exclusive or not.

    It was a very frustrating and disappointing experience. Has Dr. Mego or Disney made any statement about when these might be available again?

    This really ZUKS BIG TIME!!! Fans not being able to buy 'em. If this was FF, Thor or Ironman, I would be kinda bummed out. But then, I think of Mego's history with the bandless body and then I no longer feel bad. Every wave had its own unique unforgivable problems. I will wait for the reviews and comments for this Spiderman set as as gauge of future enthusiasm.

    It's terrible that individuals can never be available...I guess Spiderman will never be mine again. It was my first mego, my pop bought me when I was 7 yrs old. DANG...I was hoping he will be released as an individual in a year or three :(.

    You know: in the most recent MEGO TALK with Marty, Paul & Brian, Marty's pitch to Mego fans was repeatedly asking that we go to the Disney site and order early, so that Mego would have a good showing and prove to Disney that there would be a strong demand for these offerings going forward.

    Many of us did exactly that, only to have our orders subsequently cancelled and now wind up holding empty bags.

    What are the odds that Marty will go to bat for the fans that did as he asked and still got frozen out?
