That I could live with... but the entire rollout of the remainig Origins line is going to be such a pain (one at a time, online, duringvery specific pre-order windows, international shipping), the prospect of some figures even becoming some Con exclusive is a little infuriating^^

No kidding.  I utterly despise how they are doing this now.  Before we could get the full waves as they came out, and at places like BBTS and EE of course.  Now it seems everything is becoming a stupid store or online or SDCC exclusive and it's infuriating, especially when we are now paying shipping for every  single item that comes out.  It's sad that I just got my Eternia and the way they are handing the rest of this line is seriously making me want to just throw in the towel and not deal with the frustration of trying to collect this stuff anymore.  It's gotten ridiculously maddening.  

 

Same. My Eternia box showing up like it was chewed up and spat out didn't help matters.

Toyhabits.com found some stock images of Lord Gr'Asp.

Well, Rokkon counter ticking down, again! At the moment it is still listed as "this product cannot be shipped to your country". Let's hope they have figured out the reason and have a fix ready to go.

Now the rumor is that SDCC exclusive Two Bad will be a 2 pack of Tuvar and Baddrah to make Two Bad...and that Cartoon Collection She-Ra will also be an SDCC exclusive. Ugh.

A Two Bad you can take apart????????

@lasastard I just checked and I'm seeing the same, however I noticed they've added the following to the Rokkon listing:

Ships to US, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan, UK

So if you don't live in any of those countries, tough luck I guess. What a load of sh!t.

Hard to imagine they could screw something up worse than Wundar.

@daavid hopefully they set some aside for other countries. They've probably prioritized the places with the most sells.

While we wait for Rokkon let's take a look at the upcoming CC Stratos.

@smitty-81 hopefully, but I can't imagine how they would quantify what percentage they should hold back from those who can order today.

Its just a mad situation that they would have themselves in this position at all. If they can't correctly handle the simple process of international shipping they should just release these figures to the likes of bbts who can. 

I'll probably end up having to purchase this one from some online scalper which is so annoying. 

@daavid sheared exclusivity between MC, BBTS, and EE would have been nice. But really the FF should have been the online offering while the VC and CC went to retail.

@smitty-81 this makes total sense. Do me a favour and get yourself a job at Mattel! 😅

Yes but the banner messages about international shipping are still appearing in the UK as well as (according to a Facebook group) Australia and France and who knows about the other five. So this isn't reassuring even before coming to the other circa 185 countries.

This is why we payed so much more for Mossman...

Since there is a limit of 3 I can pick one up for someone outside the US if the problem isn’t fixed. Message me

Edit: Already claimed, sorry I can’t do more

I'm not sure what this is all about but we should definitely keep our eyes on it.

Luckily, I am in one of those territories (Germany), so I remain hopeful 😉 But I suppose we'll know soon enough... So far the site still complains about me being in the wrong country (I do not disagree! But Mattel should still be able to ship to me 😉 )

I got my Rokkon order in. It was much easier that any other time. The site seems to be much faster.

I think i got my 2. I have account for my name and one in wifes name. I signed into hers and ordered, but nothing in orders. Go to my account and it shows 2 ordered. No emails confirm anything yet.

@smitty-81 I got mine but wouldn’t load for around a minute. Panicked a little

@depp76 I noticed that the "prove you're human" thing was different this time. The initial box said "I am human" and the I had to click on one lion in a group of raccoons.

Managed to order one here and the email took ten minutes (arriving as I started composing this).

This time the Captur system was a total pain, not being clear what it was asking for, and also I had to go through the farce of confirming my Shop Pay account through either text (I'd put my phone on plane mode to avoid distractions - D'oh!) or email only to then be told it wasn't being accepted this time and I had to checkout as a guest, typing in all details anew. Nice and simple it is not.

Got Rokkon with no problems as well. I had different captcha this time also which slightly worried me. Mine was a bunch of raccoons and one lion and it told me to click on the object that is not like the others.

I really hope all these upcoming figs rumored to be exclusives like Two Bad, CC She-Ra, etc. will also be available on Mattel Creations and made in enough quantities as to not sell out in seconds.

Mission accomplished, two plastic rock dudes in the bag. This was kinda fun (hung out on the GDL live stream) and surprisingly painless. Still, the thought of having to go through this little exercise each and every time Mattel releases a new vintage line character...oof. I am repeating myself, but they should consider offering two characters at a time to speed things along a bit and safe international fans some shipping cost.
