    Annoying MattyCollector Trouble for the Fall?

    Well in the middle of this great era for the mego figures we enjoy so much, I just have to mention this so we can be aware of what the fall deal sounds like:

    1. I ordered He-Man & Skeletor from Mattycollector when their exclusive game began.

    2. I watched some of the other characters get sold out all too quickly.

    3. I noticed Man-At-Arms was going on sale on July 15th, I woke up early and it still said COMING SOON.

    4. I have to work to pay for this stuff, so I got ready to do that.

    5. I left the house, got on the train checked my iphone and Man-At-Arms was SOLD OUT.

    6. Green Arrow is our first new DC mego and is a pre-order at MattyCollector....

    Is there going to be a fail safe for us?

    Paul has mentioned getting a group purchase for folks like us.

    I ordered some JLU stuff from Matty, never any problems. The He-Man stuff is on fire in the secondary market, so it may be a bad comparision.

      I haven't ordered from Mattycollecter, but from what I have read on these boards, Zeedox, your story is not unique. Hopefully the Doc will get a bunch on hand for folks to order from him.

          Yes please,that would be great,it may be difficult for us oversea's folks to get Green Arrow.

          Would we put our names down on a list for all who is interested in participating in a group buy?

                I want to be added to the group purchase ..... I wanty a Green Arrow. This sounds like a better option as I hate Matty Collector. I am gonna be trying for the 6" and 12" GB , I hope that I can land those before they sell out.

                      I'd be in for a group buy, not really interested in going the Mattycollector route.

                          I've been lucky so far with mattycollector.com (haven't missed a figure yet) but if it was an option (like it is now with MOTU), I can only suggest two words (regarding 8" WGSH): Online Subscription

                          I'd be all over that in a split second....

                          With luck, after the line has run its course at brick and mortar retail (which hopefully won't be for a LONG LONG time), the exclusive mattycollector route, IF they couple it with a subscription option, could keep it alive ... for years (given the number of characters in the DC universe and the appetite for them that we megoholics have! LOL! )
