No Green Arrow for tomorrow

[Gorn Captain]

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

Kneel before Matty...euh...Zod...and maybe you'll get a Green Arrow....

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

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.

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.

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.

Hmm...since my post has been deleted...I'll use a different phrase...this totally SUCKS ARSE!! Today is my day off...and on the 23rd I'll be working. I hope there will be some left at 5:00 pm.

Screw it, I'm not going to play these games for one more minute. You Matty guys can keep your dollies.

Ditto complete Bull ****!!!!!!!

Wow, just wanted to echo sentiment that I'm very surprised that Dr. Mego didn't get any comps sent his way.

I actually feel better with it being released next week. The Matty site has crashed in the past when too many people were ordering product there. With GA and the DCUC wave 11 pushed back til next week, fewer people will be on buying stuff.

Wow... Got up this morning working in my office with the Matty site up and ready for the Green Arrow to come online. Then I thought to myself "Let's see what the buzz is right now at the Mego Musuem." Oooops. Good God. Mattel does it again. What an incredible blunder, and right before Christmas.

I waited 25 years for a new super hero, so I can wait another week.

what a crock... its all part of the hype

surely if you are going to offer a web exclusive and have been announcing dates, times, product for months now your going to know what it is your doing

ive never bought anything from them and probably never will

these are probably on sale on the streets in china already, biggest crooks of all

we should have all replied to them spam emails for fake fashions we get and asked them to get us all boxes of retro action ga over here

so its 23rd, right on top of xmas lol, great! and you will all log on and buy, they have you right in there matty pockets

a bit like last year i bought my misses take that concert tickets, they had to go on sale in dec right before xmas yet the concert was not until july.. big marketing con the whole lot of it

ah well good luck suckers

While this actually works out to my benefit (budget was tight with 3 He-mans already) and I'm happy that this release date is pushed back, it's a harbringer of bad for this line. Selling this figure on the 15th pretty much guarnteed that it'd sell bigger. Most people try to buy from Matty ONCE, not multiple times to save on shipping.

By moving it to the less popular on sale date and ensuring that no one gets it before Xmas, they've hurt potential sales on this line.

Although the cases of DCUC go on sale on the 23rd, that's not going to drive as much traffic as the main 15th on sale date.
