    Was lucky enough to pick up Scarah and Hoodoo. The fight for these at the con was vicious.



    Also, here are our updated collection photos. Still need a bunch of the new stuff. Ugh.

        ...
        I'll bet. After seeing the way buyers and scalpers leave the shelves at the local stores we visit, I can't imagine a calm civil lineup for these at the con. Pretty much a license to print money for hot items like this at SDCC.

          Totally. They were sold out each day within 15 minutes of the con opening.

            Congrats! They look very cool.
            You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                    Saw the Bratzillaz at TRU this weekend. Sort of a mix of Harry Potter and MH. Didn't look all that great in person. Not up to MH quality. Finally saw Spinmasters new Ladeeda dolls too. Sort of giving me a bit of a Blythe vibe with their huge eyes. Quality looked nice but they don't really appeal to me.

                      Bratzillas looks to be one of the more shameless rip-offs in quite some time. Reminds me of the old Transformers/Go-Bots thing, or all the MOTU knock-offs.

                        I hear Scarah & Hoodude just sold out at the 12 minute mark on Matty? Surprised they lasted that long if true, can't tell for sure as I'm getting the WSOD atm, but somehow managed to complete my order at 9:05am. Wasn't easy, but I'm glad I got em!!

                        Edit: I also noticed Scarah went from a max of 6 to a max of 2, which is nice...I got my 2 and got the hell out, didn't even try for anything else lol

                          I had one in the cart right at 12, then got the dreaded refresh page. 15 minutes later when I tried to check out, I was told she was sold out.

                            I just had a terrible Mattyland experience. I logged in a couple of minutes before sale time, sat thru the white page for about 3 minutes, and then was able to put in my order. BUT, that dratted white page just hung there forever when I hit the complete order button. Then when I finally got to the checkout page, it took me several shots to make sure the credit card security number, checkbox check, and scrambled word thing were all correct at the same time.

                            End result - sorry sir, Ms Sarah Screams is sold out.

                            I knew this was a possibility for the end result, but it is still a bit disappointing. Gonna have a sad little girl, but I think we will just make our own ragdoll Hoodu as I can't see shelling out a Franklin to the scalpers.

                              I'm done with worrying about these exclusives. I missed Jem, Derpy and now Scarah. Not worth the hassle.

                                I had almost the same expierience, I called them and told them they are the worst company to deal with. They don't care, but I felt better. My girl will be sad also, hopefully they release a normal retail version.
