Cyber Monday-ocalypse

And here…we…go.

I’m just going to go ahead and add that “-ocalypse” suffix to save a later update.

Anyway, consider this your place to discuss today’s inevitable frustration. For the record, I’m not ordering anything, though I am going to try to help a friend get a Battle Cat. Fingers crossed on that one.

    I managed to get my CoF pak as well as 12 inch Ray and Egon. Opened the CoF page first and waited. About 10 mins in to the WSOD referesh-athon I opened the bundle page and was able to complete my order in 5 mins.

    Scored two extra Color of Fear from my phone WHILE IN THE DENTIST CHAIR.

    I'm proud of that one 🙂

    @Paul:

    I almost did that, too. I have the comic pack versions of both He-Man and Skeletor. With the new KG, I was able to give He-Man a proper sword, so I didn't both getting the latest reissue today. (Although maybe I should have, because I f'd up the super glue trick on one of his ankle joints, so now he's more rigid than I would like.) In the same boat as far as Skeletor's staff, but I invariably tire of staffs and the tipping risk they provide on the shelf (looking at you, Black Manta!) so I ultimately decided against the Skeletor reissue as well.

    Meanwhile … Easiest time I've had on mattycollector.com. In and out with Battle Cat in less than 3 minutes. I used Safari and was logged in by 8:25, which I think helped in terms of queue lineup.

    @RM: I was wondering if that was just me or not. I've been having a LOT of trouble with web sites as of late.

    Anyways, I completed my order at about the 35 minute mark. "Painless"

    Yessssssssssss!! finally did it!

    with the two swords of ages from Poe and 2 BCs and 2 He-man classics..i am officially broke…

  6. Megaduce Flare

    And the JLU Lobo figures are now gone as well.

    I wonder how many of these are leftovers and (besides Battle Cat) how many are a full-blown 2nd run?

  7. I broke down and got He-Man. I think its dumb that I've got a bunch of MOTUC figures without a proper He-Man. I thought about getting skeletor, but I have the DC comics two pack one. I'd just be ordering it for the skull staff and I can't justify that…. anyone have an extra skull staff laying around? heh

    what happened to 9am????

    FYI- The Color of Fear set sold out first cause it was just left overs from the previous sale.

    after 48 min of the WSOD i finally got my BC..whoo hoo. I was afraid BC would be sold out.

  10. RM

    Ok, 14 minutes in, and I'm done (although no confirmation email as yet).

    However…

    1 6” Walter Peck™ Figure $20.00

    1 Battle Cat® Figure $30.00

    Sub-Total $50.00

    Shipping $14.10

    Shipping Discount $8.00

    Tax $0.00

    Total $64.10

    Um… shipping discount?

    It's entered, and logged there, but not reflected in the total.

    Huh? =$

    > Update:

    5 minutes later (19 minutes after sale), confirmation email received, and this time the $8 shipping discount is listed AFTER the total (with no revised total after that).

    Weird.

    I'm happy that I have myself a Battle Cat (FINALLY! =D), and the ordering was quite smooth this time, but it seems that even when all goes well, Matty will still find a way to confuse… =P

    > Update again:

    Madness! Matty's site works fine, and Poe's goes on the fritz! O_O

  11. Megaduce Flare

    Well, we're just over hour into the sale and the only thing to sell out of is the DCUC "Color of Fear" pack.

    Huh, I would have thought Battle Cat would be the first to go.

  12. Nicholai

    After much (20 something minute) delays I finally got in and bought the Color of Fear two-pack. Super-glad they re-offered it though I'm interested to see how long it lasts.

  13. PrfktTear

    Painless! Hah!

    I left my browser on the "All in" page, and refreshed at 12:01 this afternoon, then after about ten minutes it let me add He-Man to my cart. Then I went to login and I've been at the WSOD for about twenty minutes.

  14. Nik

    done. I guess that was relatively painless!

  15. Andy

    Well, I got Battlecat, but the coupon looked applied initially, but not at the final page. Will wait for confirmation email b4 I pick up the phone

  16. RM

    I managed to get both of the items I wanted to load after the WSoD by 3 minutes after sale, had both in my cart a minute later, entered my Battle Cat coupon, and I've been on WSoD ever since.

    =P

    It was all going so well…

  17. Nik

    oh wow, got stuff in my cart, now WSOD at login. Might not be so bad after all.

  18. Nik

    BC and Color of Fear… WSOD so far

  19. Andy

    I've already seen the WSOD 2x, 10min b4 noon. So there goes the whole "implement new strategy" thing
