Anyone else concerned about getting the legends they want from mattycollector before they sell out? I've read horror stories about people logging on and filling their digital carts only to wait 10 or 20 minutes for the page to load ONLY to find out the product was sold out!
I'm concerned this may happen with The Rockers next month. Any thoughts?

I highly doubt they will sell out instantly. I know there is always traffic during the first few minutes of the release but everybody that wants them should be able to get them. Retail price has to be at least $29.99 and shipping would be at least $9.99 so that's $39.99 estimated price and I don't know a lot of regular Joes that can dish out that amount of money on a set except the hardcore collectors. After all, Legends didn't sell well at retail but it could have also been the choices that were selected so who knows?
I'm real excited and can't wait for the Rockers. I'm planning on buying 3 2-Packs, 1 for display, 1 for MOC and 1 for just extra as trade bait or customs.

not really, i feel like if i want something bad enough ill find a way to get it but that just me. im surprised sometimes i feel like something will sell very well and it sits and vice versa. i think they will have tons of rockers sets. my tru still has tons of legends 2 packs and i assume the rockers wouldnt have sold that well, think about how many cm punk marks there are on here and the ses exclusive hasnt sold out in 6 months...

I'm going to have alot of late nights. With the time difference the Matty sales start at 2am here in Australia but I know it will be worth it.

These aren 't Masters of the Universe Classics so no I'm not worried at all. Even MOTUC seem to last the whole day now. Don't let the fear-mongering Mattel haters scare you.

I have no interest in the Rocker's, so I'll be sitting back and watching what happens. My larger concern is that they won't sell enough.

What time do they typically put new items up for purchase is it in the morning or at night? I am in New York so does Matty tend to do a 10am release?

^ yeah I want 2 sets myself for MOC and display.
I was thinking that since The Rockers almost made it to retail at TRU, that maybe they have a lot of them sitting around, which makes them a great test case for mattycollector. If they sale really well they SHOULD have plenty for everyone. In that case they will know about how many of the other legends to produce. The leftovers will probably find their way to ringside.
If they don't sale well, perhaps we will have a harder time grabbing DDP, Arn, etc. But who knows what they're thinking?? I would've never guessed a white top, blue pants Sarge or booted Superfly. So we'll see.

I'm hoping everyone gets a fair shot at getting one otherwise they will NOT have my business. That's why I'm honestly worried about this whole online thing for exactly this reason....if scalpers by 500 within the first 5 minutes I'm done with them...

Not so concerned now. A lot of the issues have been worked out with Mattycollector and their online problems which were a HUGE issue off and on with the MOTUC line. That said, I know not everything will go smooth. Their will be some waiting and worrying, but I'm not getting the Rockers so it'll just be a test before Andre comes.

I'm worried cuz I don't want some lame to hike up the price on eBay. But if it happens I just might quit buying legends.

I am not to worried. Everyone was worried about the exclusive Undertake when it went up and it was available for like 2 days after. I think everyone will have a shot, and if not i don't expect the resale value to be high since everyone will try and scalp one too.

I think Im more worried they wont sell enough.
Dont get me wrong I dont want them to run out so people miss them including me but I'd like it if they sold out within the day.
Then the Legends line becomes sturdier

As long as they fix everything up by the time DDP is released...if I get screwed out of him I'll snap.

I hope they have ample supplies... And that the international shipping isn't too bad.

I'm only marginally worried about this first year of Matty's Legends. I already went through the rush of the post-SDCC sale and it wasn't so bad. It took me less than an hour to checkout and I was able to get the Blazing Sword Voltron that I wanted. I noticed that the Ghostbusters Stay Puft Marshmallow Man sold out during that time, though, so if it's popular, it can get stressful. I was afraid that Voltron would sell out quickly but it lingered around for a week, so you never know.
It's really a Catch-22 for me. I want the Legends line to be highly successful so that it can expand and grow but I also don't want to be left out during this crucial first year. I wish Matty's was confident enough to offer a subscription service now but I can understand their concerns.
