Matty LEGION OF SUPERHEROES 12-Pack: Anybody get one?

[warlock664]

If any of you collect the Mattel DC Universe Classics figures, you probably know the 12-pack Legion of Superheroes set went on sale (briefly!) this past Monday (10/17/11). I've collected these figures since the line began, and have every release to date, and was really looking forward to the Legion set. At $180, I figured it'd be around for a while. Due to work, I wasn't able to log on to order until late in the day Monday, and it was already gone, sold out in less than 3 hours! Hopefully they do another run, as I refuse to shell out the $350+ ebay scalpers are listing this at currently. Anyone else here in the same boat as me?

Honestly ..., My thoughts on the subject, is they didn't get that many pieces in & or held back stock for a later date...., and because of the price..., they mighta wanted to see just how many would sell ... It sold out in under 45 minutes I believe..., it was already gone by the time I was able to log on and look around ... I was somewhat shocked as well of the fast sell out, then because of the price tag, but then took everything else into consideration . The Matty Collector Site Thrives in The allure and Mystique of the " Fast Sell Out" . I believe it was all planed from the get go, to intise more buyer's next time around. . Given all the other merchandise that comes back repeatidly these days ...., it should be back imo. I wouldn't even attempt to pay ebay prices on this..., unless you got coin to blow.

I'm sooooooo ****ed I missed out on this set....my 10-year old inner child wants to cry...

it was there longer then 45 minutes probably around 2 hours

i got mine about 2pm eastern time and it was still saying "almost gone"

i also thought because of the price point it would be sitting there for awhile

I missed it, too.

Wow, this shocks me. But it probably was Matty's limited number they have for sale. They sold out of the Reeve Superman (among others) only to have him return in time for Lex to go on sale.

I just don't have the disposable income for this. Considering what they charge for these at retail, 12 figures at that price actually isn't bad.

yeah like everyone else, i thought it'd be around for at least a day or two due to the price. but i'm sure, it'll be re listed again!

wish i could afford it

Whew! Took about 15 minutes, but I finally got my order in. Hope it arrives in time for Christmas, but if not, oh well.
Somehow, though, a mysterious extra item was in my cart (a Cars Barry Diesel truck) when I got to the final page. I didn't want to risk going back, waiting through the refresh screens, and have the Legion set sell out, so now I've got a stupid $25 Cars item I have to try to return - I called CS, they couldn't delete it from my order, said I'd have to just send it back.

Mattel mysteriously sold out of the DCUC wave in a half an hour? Some of these figures are all over the place (Toyman especiallyt). Did they have like two for sale today?

Congrats to those who got the LOSH set.
