Sorry, running a bit behind today…it already looks like the rumors of a better server for Digital River have been greatly exaggerated…anyway, best of luck to all.

Yup…still WSODing.
*sigh*
As it happens, I am home from work today and am enjoying the WSOD. This should be fun.
Well…I got everything in the cart anyway.
Such fun. Have KG and the weapon pack in my cart and got WSoD'd on the way to check out. Urge to kill rising….
18 min in and still WSOD.
Finished about three minutes ago. Got a Venkman, KG, and Weapons Pak.
Enjoyed having last month off. Looks like I'm going to enjoy this one too – WSOD as promised 5 min before the sale. I simply can not wait until I get to go through this all againfor the second attempt at Battle Cat in a couple of weeks!
Maybe someone can help me out on this one.
I ordered Grizzlor. WSOD for a few minutes but all went fine.
Then, I tried to place a separate order for Peter Venkman. When I keyed in the security code of my credit card and clicked on "submit order", Matty told me that my order can not be admitted unless I tick the box saying "user agreement". What? What's that? Where did it come from? And where is it explained? What does it do? WTF?
okay, so finally got stuff in my cart, but then it made me log back in again… lame. wsod again.
Approaching 30 mins, still can't get in.
Venky in the cart, now more WSOD.
Awesome.
WSOD is back in full force!
Like an ex-girlfriend that you never missed. There goes my lunch break and chances of ordering anything.
Let me in, Matty!!!
It's so cold out here!!!
It's so cold…so cold…..
obscene…
been rolling for 30 minutes on WSOD. In firefox I've never refreshed, and in explorer i've been refreshing regularly and got things added to the cart, and then back to WSOD.
Obscene…
After 30 minutes of WSoD, I finally get back to the main page.
I go to click on the all-in-one sale page and what do I get?
More WSoD. Yay.
okay, just got through, order # and everything. got KG, weapons pak, and Venkman!
for those with subs: have you gotten your invoice yet? we've been getting them a few days before the sale date, but i haven't got one yet.
… at least I'm getting paid for this….
At this point, I'd trade this nonsense for some figures with cracked bodies and backwards parts.
Got two King Grayskulls and 1 weapons pak!
The new improvement for November is a server error page:
Server Error
Error:
We are unable to perform the selected action. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Error Number: SIT_000002
@MegaGearX: Gee, lemme guess… a 200X He-Man? Me too! now if we could get a LP He-Man head it would be better.
THANK GOD
Through – took half an hour of WSOD. WANT TO SWEAR LOTS.
i got'em!!!! i thought this WSOD wa over with??? i hope battlecat wont be such a hassle!
Got to the cart page at least.
I imagine a full psychological meltdown if my library time session runs out before I can complete this.
Here's my November sale day journey.
Alarm goes off at 03:40am (20 minutes before sale). Alarm wont turn off for some reason. After mashing the "Stop Alarm" button for 20 seconds contiuously, it stops. Not the best way to start Matty sale day. =$
5 minutes before sale, WSoD for my wanted items on Firefox, no WSoD on IE, but the pages constantly refresh.
2 minutes into sale, and I can add items to cart in IE windows. I do so, and go straight to shopping cart, but the cart page keep refreshing, so I can't enter in my details.
Internet connection dies. O_O
5 minutes into sale, internet connection restored, and refreshing cart page in IE turns into WSoD, but FF windows require manual refresh.
8 minutes into sale, WSoD stop on Firefox windows. Items added, now get WSoD for cart page.
18 minutes into sale, still waiting on WSoD on my shopping cart pages in both IE & FF.
20 minutes into sale, Firefox cart page in FF appears, I log-in, and go back to WSoD. WSoD stops on cart page in IE, but they keep refreshing every 3 seconds, so I can't enter shipping details!
27 minutes into sale, logged-in cart page comes back in FF window, I enter payment & shipping info, and complete order. Confirmation email received. =D
40 minutes into sale, IE cart page is STILL refreshing less than every 5 seconds. =P
Only in this for one Grayskull. Not even really interested – just figure it might be nice to have down the road. What a let-down though…
I'm getting the darn server errors, as well. Definitely seems like a new feature.
FINALLY – got grizzlor, venkman x2 and parademons.
Took 45 minutes. That was on explorer with refreshing. I never hit refresh in firefox and its STILL WSOD
This is the first time I've tried to navigate through Matty since the Battle Cat, Trap Jaw day. Anyway, signed on at 11:45 with no problem, refreshed the page at 11:54. 15 minutes to put Grizzlor and Grayskull in my basket, then after I hit the billing info another 30 minutes of waiting. Anyway, have the two figures on the way so I'm happy.
@Snarf! Snarf! (aka) Doc_OCK_4MUGEN: You know it!!! I definitely got an extra Grayskull to make him into 200X He-Man!
45 minutes on the WSOD and my Droid beat IE and Firefox. I understand people like me are clogging the servers, but I don't care. Got my KG.
Hey Mattel: pre-orders.
45 minutes in but I got one of all the MOTUC stuff for both my buddy and myself.
I didn't even remember there was other stuff on sale, lol.
Maybe the parademons will last a couple hours and revisit it.
It's a little sad that they've managed to kill my interest in the Ghostbuster line though. Otherwise I'd totally be picking up that Venkman.
@americanhyena: i picked up Venkman just so I could have all four gb's. unless they do vigo, gozer, or someone equally interesting i'm done for now. maaaybe they'll get me on gb2 winston.
I give up. I have to go eat lunch, so I just bought everything off ebay. Didn't spend much more than I would have on Matty either.
Almost 45 minutes on the WSoD. Mattel is a terrible company.
Well, that took nearly an hour, but I finally got him ordered. GRIZZLORRRRRR!
There's something slightly unsettling about confirming your personal and financial info with someone then having it stuck in limbo like this. I'm in total violation of my lunch break time, so that's a cool bonus to not get paid and possibly get reamed out in a bit.
My fear of this library session timing out is getting dangerously close to becoming a reality.
nearly a full hour of alternating shades of WSOD…got damn near to actually placing my order…but hung up before putting in credit info. So much for those new servers. Hell, this has been the WORST I've ever experienced!
SMR
1 hour into the WSOD and I was finally able to select King Grayskull. Logged into my account and BAM! WSOD.
Well…. I'll say this – after just over an hour of WSOD, I did still get what I wanted. So I guess given patience, this would be considered a 'success'.
ERROR on cc processing! WUNDABAR!
Success, finally.
Does their mascot have to look like such a smug prick? Eat balls, dude.
it took me 1 hour 2 minutes to get basically a repainted figure and repainted weapons….sigh
I managed to log on at 1:05pm EST after seeing this page, and I managed to get KG, 2x Petes and the Weapons Pak. WSOD was pretty annoying, but I managed to get through. I just wish everything wasn't so expensive!
Okay, input CC info…WSOD…then 10 min later, I'm actually BACK A STEP?!? I think this is going to do it. Think I'm finally insane…wasn't the booze that did it. I think my liver is more surprised than any…wait…it went through!!!
Came in at 9:20 (pacific) left and came back at 10:10 and was out by 10:17 with 1 King Grayskull. Probably cutting it close…
@FakeEyes22: yeah, he REALLY doesn't help, does he? that damned smirk GLOWRS at you after about 5 minutes of straight WSOD.
Everything is still available as of now with no WSOD. Wondering if they overproduced or if people just said to hell with it after dealing with the WSOD for an hour.
I'm tempted to get another weapons pak and Grayskull…
As of 1:40 PM EST, Grizzlor is gone.
Who would have thought he'd be the first to go?
Man!!! spent like 2 hours on mattycollector to get hold of 2 grizzlors and 1 grayskull..
Can't believe grizzly and d'vann are still not sold out!
btw where was this better server that everyone was talking about..
@FakeEyes22: I laughed at this so hard.
I can't imagine the traffic on 29th!!
another chance to grab a BC for $30 and a he-man for $20
can't believe i paid $100 for BC and He-man on ebay
Anyone else find their order history blank when they logged in today? I did as did the person who runs powet toys twitter
@Andy: That's been happening recently. Not sure what the deal is but you're not alone. My order history is still there and I think I'm going to print off the invoices just in case it does disappear.
The latest Shortpacked sums up Matty Days nicely: http://toynewsi.com/news.php?catid=242&itemid…
Grizzlor sold out, Grayskull and Weapons Pak still availalbe, Venkman too. Interesting.
I didn't even remember today was the sale until 145. Now, Grizzlor is sold out (big sad face) but all is right with the world now that I have two King Grayskulls, a Weapons Pack, and even the DCUA Parademons. I don't even have any figures from that line!
Is there one particular He-Man head that works best to get the closest 200x look? I don't have a Man-at-Arms unfortunately but surely he'll be rereleased someday soonish.
Didn't have a single problem with the website and Grizzlor was available when I started the process.
re: grayskull:200x
I've only seen and it looks pretty good to me. But there's a lot more nitpicky and observant and creative He-fans than me. Other suggestions would be great.
Huh. Almost 5 hours later, and Grayskull is still available. Still, I don't think I'll count on that in the future.
The rumors of the WSOD's demise have been greatly exagerrated as has always been the case!
'N THANKS MADDIE11!!!
MANETHANKS!
;D
Grayskull sold out. Weapons pak almost gone.
I logged in at 10 till. After WSOD for 1/2 hour, I finally got in and added 1 Grizzlor to my cart. When I Tried to check out, I got kicked out and my cart was emptied. After 10 more minutes I again added 1 Grizzlor to my cart, checked out and then was kicked out while I submitted my order. Unbelievable. I did everything again. At 1:24, I got my confirmation for not 1 but 2 Grizzlors. I guess I'll try to sell it to my LCS. I am amazed at Matty's stupidity. At least I got a Grizzlor, but I'm never ordering again. I'll just brave ebay.
I wasn't able to be at a computer during the sale time because I was tutoring but someone else was able to do it for me. It took about 20 minutes to finish the order. Got everything that I wanted so I'm happy…..for now.
I don't know if this has been mentioned, because I didn't read all the comments, but am I the only who finds it funny that the pic of grizzlor with a drill in his eye truely represented what dealing with mattycollector.com yesterday felt like?
Jackstatic,
Don't you mean "…dealing with Mattycollector.com at all felt like?"
But to answer your question; Yes, yes it did.
@jackstatic: Well, for a truly accurate depiction, the *&$#%! drill would be stuck someplace else…
