Finally got email.

Sucks figures are more expensive because of shipping and the worry of selling out fast.But at least if you order more than one, you pay shipping just for one. That was only the plus side of ordering two eternias. Only paid shipping for one.

now the issue becomes with walmart. With panthor and mossy, i got them right away driving pretty far to get them. Then nothing in stores for months and months, then all of a sudden tons of them collecting dust.

So do i freak out and hit every store i can when news of new exclusives hit, or take a chance for them to sit on shelves many months later.  You just know if you wait, you will never see them, like how i see mossy at every store.

mossy was a nightmare because he kept popping up to order online. Make order for pick up, them walmart canceled. Did it about 20 times until one order stuck. And that walmart was over 75 miles away. I dont want to play that order and cancel game with all the snakemen exclusives walmart is getting.

Got mine but I had enough of the drama. I think all those youtubers escalate that shit tbh.

Officially sold out.

I just missed the window. How do I get one now?

How many minutes did Rokkon last for?  I had to work, so I wasn't able to log on until a little bit ago, but it looks to be sold out.  It is the first exclusive I wanted that I missed out on, mainly because they switched dates.

Don't know if anyone was aware, but there is other Rokkon merchandise available as well...shirts, a tote, and a mug...

Did I miss something? When did Rokkon get so popular?

CM Dom posted in the Mattel Creations forums when he sold out, which was at 1:23pm ET.  

 

I vaguely recall an interview from when the idea to move Vintage Origins to MC was just announced and some Mattel rep assured people that of course everyone who wanted those figures would be able to get them. Well, that worked out  great then 😀 Not only because it sold out so fast, but because it was region locked too. I don't think that was ever supposed to be the case..n

Only 19 figures remain unannounced to complete the Vintage Collection. This includes Titus and Megator, as well as the rest of the Lost wave of 88.

 

Well, "only" is relative - at maybe 4 figures a year (?), it'll take well over four years to get through that. Makes me wonder if they either decide to skip some more obscure figures, or shorten their release cycle. Which makes sense, but would be annoying unless they start bundling figures or introduce the BBTS-style "pile of loot".

I hope they make the dinos.

And if Mattel Creations continues to release only 1 figure per month, we still have over another year to go.

But they probably won't release a figure every single month. Look at the 4 month (Sept. - Feb.) gap between Lady Slither & Rokkon. 

And they are going to drag the line out with deep-cut characters like Demo-Man.  So we're probably looking at a long, slow 3 or 4 more years. 

And I was in a hurry to finish up & be done with the frustration & aggravation. 

I lost out on Rockon because the site had some stupid glitch and my payment would not finish processing. It just kept reloading the page saying "we couldn't finish processing your payment due to technical issues".

This is inexcusable. It's bad enough when these limited sales happen for special releases, but they cannot let this be the way all the rest of the line id done! Everything needs to be made to order and/or available from other retailers.

@lasastard I could see them doing the Laser He-Man and Skeletor in a two pack, maybe the battle top guys too.

I got a shipping notice for Rokkon.  

I decided to skip Rokkon. I'm more interested in getting Lord Grasp. Also, I do agree Laser He-Man and Skeletor would probably a two-pack. And honestly, the Classics versions of those two is still reasonably priced, but I understand that they are a different scale than Origins.

@he-dad if they do I’d say most likely a crowd fund. If we do get them I’m going to pass on the vintage ones I keep putting off buying

@asterstar I wonder if this will be the new norm when every new figure goes up for pre order.

So did I. Crazy.

An online mart run by some guy has CC Merman, CC Stratos and FF TRI-KLOPS! 

Filmation Mer-Man is my most wanted out of the entire origins line, vintage and CC combined. There is just something about that character... 😀 Even bought the CG Mer-man of off Ebay, sure as hell made a scalper happy that day.

That would be neat!
