No Green Arrow for tomorrow

[Meule]

It's...the nightmare before Christmas.....

I really don't intend to sit at my computer on a certain date at a certain time and be allowed to spend my money when the seller deems it's time.
If I can't get my stuff in a normal way, then so be it.

If all the new figures are going to go through Mattycollector, then I think I'm going to be saving a lot of money in 2010.

Yeah, I'm not gonna bother either. If I can get it on eBay for the same price I'll buy it, if not so be it.
Gotta love exclusives
Oh and the others will be for sale in TRU

Be happy GA was delayed.. RTM is (as usual) swamped with Matty complaining.. here's one excerpt from a poster:

The site crashes wholesale a few minutes before today's items come up for sale.

It returns a few minutes later, but errors abound and I'm unable to place anything in my cart.

Several minutes later, I am able to place the items I want in my cart (from their individual listing pages, mind you, not the main sales page), but the RSOD makes its return and the going is slow.

Several minutes later, I make it to the end of the ordering process only to find an error screen blocking the completion of my order.

30 minutes later, I am told one of the figures that's been in my cart for almost 45 minutes has sold out while I was prevented from ordering it.

I remove the remaining items from my cart and close the browser window.

The End.

If this is the sort of professionalism we can expect from Mattel then I don't have a lot of confidence for any future releases.
Seems like this rerelease is doomed from the get-go: crappy cards, bow-legged figures, first release is an exclusive and release date has been pushed back.

Green Arrow will go on sale at 5am on Christams Eve where I live....very convienent. NOT!

Once the site came up, my transaction was totally smooth. I had no previous account either, so I had to enter EVERYTHING.

"What are you doing, Dave?"
"I'm trying to order a Green Arrow, HAL."
"I can't let you do that, Dave. That figure will be offered five minutes after you shut off you computer and go to bed."

I Concur, and first impressions are highly essential. Hopefully, the delay will allow them time to workout the kinks (Bowleggness,...Pun). The videogame industry always pushes back their games when they need to fix a bug within the game. Hopefully, the delay is a quality control issue.

Well from what I have seen thus far, these are a source of clothes for doc/castaway-bodied megos. While disappointed, I guess the old megos can really be considered gone. If this is what they are, I'll get them for my kids. When they break them, docs parts will be used to rebuild.

Yup...that's how I feel about it too. They will be a great source for Customs(Heads, Costumes, accessories, etc...). Heck...if I'll Customize "original Megos"...I won't think twice about ripping these Babies apart! The first thing to go will of course be the Legs.

Just remember these Mattel heads don't fit Mego, DM or any other Megolike body, they have different neck plugs

I am sure someone here will make a resin adapter. Who accepts the challenge?

No Green Arrow for tomorrow........

*Due to the fact that i hate hunting down Exclusives. I went ahead and pulled the trigger (via paypal) on a Mattel GA from an Ebay Powerseller with a (99.5%) rating. Seller ships fast (Priority mail w/delivery Confirmation). Total price (s+h) included......$39.99.
Enough with the shananigans, I refuse to deal with Mattycollecter.com.
see You soon GA.............Sometime in JAN 2010!!!

I plan to use the upper half(so no need to worry about Neckplugs). I'll only be changing the Legs, and maybe the Pelvis if possible.
