    The whole thing with the Waiting Room was interesting. When I first signed on it said I was 349th in line, but it took less than 5 minutes to be let in to shop. I wasn't buying this wave I just wanted to see how different the experience was from the first wave. Looks like I could've gotten a set since they were still up when I left the site.

      I just received an e-mail a half hour ago from the Disney Store stating that my Fantastic Four set order was canceled. Very disappointing.

        Goddamm it, that sucks. I'm sorry, man. I'm sure I'll get the same e-mail any minute now.

        It can't be this hard to sell toys in 2025.

          I've only heard about a very few people getting their orders cancelled. Last time there were a large number getting cancelled. Is that a good sign, or are large numbers still going to get cancelled? I'm on the outside looking in. Affording these is not something I can partake in.

            Not sure how widespread the cancellations are this time around. Doesn't seem to be as nearly as many as with the Spider-Man set. But mine was definitely canceled, and the CC authorization charge is still there.

            I really couldn't/can't afford these either (and it's much worse cost-wise for us Canadians), but I don't think we'll have another opportunity to get these.

                  Well, Almost 3:30 PM the next day. Still no delivery. UPS is really terrible. They had my set local to me since last Friday.

                  Really drags out the fun of this.

                    Why can't Mego simply request a handful of sets for their fans?

                      I'm not sure if it would do any good. I contacted them by both e-mail and FB Messenger and received no response.

                      I also called the Disney Store and wasted 45 minutes of my time. It was suggested by the "Cast Member" that I check back on the site and see if they become available again, or call the Disney Parks and have one pulled off the shelves and held for me. I explained to the rep. repeatedly that I lived in Canada and heading to one of the parks just wasn't an option for me. The reality is that nobody cares.

                        If Mego doesn't fix this problem, there won't be a Mego. Fantastic Four reproductions are not Atlas heroes.

                        Should look more like this I think:

                          My FF set arrived today in good shape. I'm sorry for those who weren't able to get one. I was shut out of the Spider-Man set initially but managed to procure one from a Disney shopper, which I found to be a reasonable alternative.

                            My set also arrived yesterday at super time. The UPS driver was honest and told me he had it 2 days in his truck and was just to busy to deliver it. What are my chances od getting a refund on the delivery charges from Disney... lol

                            Here it is:

                            I`ll be going on the secondary market for another set.

                              That's great that it finally arrived.

                              But why would you want to pay scalper prices to get a second set?

                              Although I may have to resort to doing that if I want a set. Ugh.

                                James,

                                After I compared what I paid for this set directly from Disney and what I paid on the secondary market for my Spidey set, you are looking at $20 Can more per set.

                                Since I was not aware last Dec of the Spidey set, its a $20 I can justify for my igorance. Plus I have no choice if I wanted the set.

                                The Disney way of selling these is not very appealing. The Disney shipping charges are very high for us Canadians and international customers.

                                What can we do.

                                Been working for the past week to get another set, still working on it... if it pans out for me, will send you the info for you to get one.

                                This is a very tedious way to get Mego figures,,,

                                On the Spidey set, I was late, my fault, but going forward, would like to get them easier.

                                Hell, I still have not found any Dr Fate, Flash or the Green Arrow from the 50 th release.

                                I just bought on Ebay 3 Green Lanterns at 30$ Can each from the same seller so I had only one shipping charge. Like I said , I am late on the game and have extras to pay to get them.

                                It sucks...
