I am a bit bummed out about the Big Jim style bodies the Mattel has stuck them on. (see link)
After I saw the hands, my plan has been to put them on Doc Mego bodies anyway.
Do you think they will fit?

I think the neck plug is totally different.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Mattycollector.con.

I never have liked the idea of online exclusives or store exclusives for that matter. I feel that complaining falls on deaf ears there at Mattel.

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.

I think MattyCollector may be down now anyway. I was going to try and order Zod.

Site just crashed. Bad load balancing? I'm sure this will happen next week as well.

Just came back up at exactly 9 am on my computer.

Major hanging on the site pages. Now I know what to expect next week.

I was able to get the Super Friends Robin no issue today hopefully Green Arrow will be as easy

"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 am trying to order that damn Zod , and it's not letting me. I hate Matty Collector..... GRRRRRRR !

[Earth 2 Chris]

I had several error pages, then I made it through and went smoothly. Got Zod and two of the Dark Knight Bruce Wayne/Survival Suit Batman figures, one for me and one for the boy.

I wonder if they felt there would be too many desirable pieces available on the same day and moved it for that reason? Moving it off for a week because it's not in yet doesn't make sense. Just take the orders and ship it when it arrives. If the site is crashing now imagine what it would've been if the GA figure was available today too. Plus if you're gonna put a figure up on a Tuesday why not spread the orders out across five days. At least you wouldn't have the buyers only looking for a single figure fighting for bandwidth with all the other people in the same situation. Sometimes I wonder if these companies think before rolling out a plan. Note to big company...In some cases the high school dropout that's been picking orders in your company for 10 years is smarter than the guy that smoked pot and drank for 4 years in college while he got his degree.
