I think I’ll be a little sad in September, when these MOTUC days will lose a lot of their significance due to the subscriptions kicking in. But just a little.

Anyway, enjoy your Mattycollector.com refreshes today. I stand by my assertion that Duncan will not be as popular as Hordak was (though I suspect he’ll still sell out within two hours).

Also, He-Man.org has some tips about ordering. Here are the important points:

Don’t get frustrated, don’t keep hitting refresh on your own! Doing this is part of the reason for the server overload!

You may experience the red screen more than once, or even after every step of the ordering process! Try not to let it frustrate you.

We have also discovered that most fans who have experienced 15+ minute waits on the red screen logged in to Matty Collector before 12:00 noon EST (GMT -5)!

It is in your best intereste to login right as the figure goes on sale, at 12:01 EST (GMT -5) or even a few minutes later.

Toy Guru has pointed out that if you DO manually refresh, you are put at the end of the list for those who are currently placing orders. So a manual screen refresh may result in you missing out on the figure.

So in our opinion, it’s in your best interest, if you have logged in after 12:01 EST (GMT -5), and you are experiencing the red screen queue, is to wait it out.
