I don't know if anyone else saw this, but I was just on Mattycollector's site and it said that she sold out in the early access sale. HBK is still available, however. DDP is also now listed as sold out.
It really is a shame, as I was hoping this would be my chance to pick it up. It showed up at local store once, but someone pulled a switch, and I don't know if anywhere locally will get it again, as flashbacks are always a pain to find.

I picked it up at Mattel Shop last week, shame for all the people who blew it off hoping for a white box from Matty Collector, if there was one.

Well I don't need her, but how can she be sold out if she doesn't go on sale until tomorrow noon est

Because of this so-called Early Access sale.
Apparently you can buy a subscription which let's you buy figures before they actually go on sale.

And people thought I was crazy for bringing up early access sell out in the last Liz/Matty thread, called it.

early access sales are for those people with subs to matty toy lines... i could have bought stuff on there too.. since i have a MOTUC sub... but i didnt need anything...
its a benefit for all the money you are going to toss to them for a year worth of toys....

I thought the sub only gave you early access to the line you bought the sub for.

Thats bogus for the guys who haven't found her yet. I knew nothing of an early access sale. Glad I found her at WM and got one last week from MAttelshop.

They've put a very limited quantity up. Subs and early access are for MOTUC and i think theres a DC one as well. That matty collector is full of nonsense, i dont know how many times Scott Neitlich the managing director for MOTUC has said that figures from Man-E-Faces onwards wont be available again and yet theres been so many that have, infact mosquitor and Kobra are up this month so theres some skullduggery going on there with those gangsters. You will get Liz easy enough even on eBay at a decent price just keep an eye out and dont be surprised if she still pops up on matty collector in the not so distant future.
The castle grayskull met its target before the extended period (the initial extended period) they just extended it to make more money because they know so many more jump on at the last minute. There full of crap i just wish i had the paperwork to prove it cos i just know it.

There full of crap i just wish i had the paperwork to prove it cos i just know it. agreed. matty sucks big. i was part of their motuc sub for 2 years. when you sign up, you only know what's coming out for 3-4 months of the sub... meaning, you only know about 1/3 of what you're paying for. so matty, would load their sub with figures no one wants. and because the sub guarantees you the figures you want, most people would just suck it up. PLUS dealing with the day-of sales instead of doing the sub is a effing nightmare. so i bailed on their sub. too many figures i don't want + almost $30 per figure just got to be too crazy. and i just cancelled my pre-order of castle greyskull. there's a 12% difference in the size from their initial foam proto to the sculpted proto. that's too big a difference in size for me. sorry about the semi-unrelated rant, there.

I'm glad I got mine from Mattelshop for $16.99. Ordered a Basic 26 Daniel Bryan along with her so the total came to over $25 so I used the code to get free shipping.
Liz was on Mattelshop for almost 24 hours.....for anybody who didn't pull the trigger, that's the risk you run with Mattel products. You have to just gets stuff when you can get stuff. If you hold off and try and wait so you can combine other things or get something during a sale period, chances are it's not going to work out for you and you're going to miss out on some or most of what you could have gotten earlier.
I always just get stuff when I can, because with Mattel WWE products, you rarely get a second chance, especially at the real hard to find shortpacked figures.
