Count me in with the crowd that has theirs listed as "located in-stock" Hopefully that's good news for us. Mine says that too and that I should expect to receive them in between 11/23 and 11/30. I also bought them at around 7am, so not sure if that made a difference or not.

Yup just got my email from Mattel its on Backorder/ Advance sale order #, Boo HOO. No big Deal i would rather get my order from mattel shop then from Mattycollector, I hear a lot of shipping handler problems from Mattycollector anyway. Watch out MOC collectorstherockers2.jpg [/img]

That sounds a little bit childish to me. Just saying. I ordered a set, dunno what's going to come of it, though. We'll see. And you sound a bit silly to consider that childish. Just saying. I put my money down on the set already. If they cancel the order, and my only option is to pay extra on another one of their sites, then I'll casually pass on the set. How is that childish? Everyone has the right to do what they want ... but just think it's worth noting that it's really not paying "extra" on one of their sites. This is supposed to be sold for $30. Clearly someone messed up at the Mattelshop site this morning. Also, I'll be happy if I never see the phrase "just saying" ever again. Can we place a moratorium on that around here? ;D Mark

I also bought them at around 7am, so not sure if that made a difference or not. Yeah, BW and I are splitting a set and he PM'd me around 7:40am saying he placed the order. So, it sounds like they had a limited number for shipment and it was first come first serve. Pretty much how they do with everything else they get on MattelShop, only this is a MattyCollector item so it's a bit strange.

Yea sorry, mine was EST too. I didn't even look in the thread. All I saw was the title and I went straight over to the site and placed the order, no hesitation.

So check it out. I just got off the phone with customer service. They had one huge order of over 300 pieces come through, and it cleaned out the stock they had. so those who got ur order in before the 300 piece order, your good. But every one after will be on backorder. There is no guarantee that they will get any more. Your order can stay in the system on back order, legally, for around 4-5 weeks, then they will cancel your order if it can't be filled by then. So those of you saying they will cancel it in 2-3 days your wrong. It's 4-5 weeks. So I'll pick up my set on monday. And to either ringside, bigbadtoystore, or which ever other company may have put the 300 piece order in, shame on you.

Got the backorder email, tried to cancel my order, and it said that I am unable to cancel the order because the time period to do so may have expired.. This is ridiculous

Well, I just checked the status of my credit card and it has a pending charge from Mattel on it. I guess my order was placed before they ran out of stock.
I wonder how many people ordered multiple sets. This may be the reason they ran out so fast.
EDIT...I just saw the post about the 300 being ordered. Wouldnt it be funny if it was Ringside?

Okay, so I never got an email, but just checked my order and the status says backorder. Will I eventually get my figures or is it not guaranteed? This is pissing me off, because I don't want to miss out on this, but I also don't want to order a set on MattyCollector Monday and get more sets than I need. Does anyone know what's going on?

Wouldn't it make more sense for Mattel to put that huge order (which is clearly someone trying to make a profit) on back-order? It's not like the figures still wouldn't sell out.

Quick overview, based on what I've read. I'm not stating these as facts, just repeating it. -Someone bought 300 sets in a single order, wiping their stock clean and creating this mess. -Mattel may, or may not, get a re-stock. Right now it seems like they won't. -Mattel may, or may not, cancel our orders over the weekend.

Toy.........Wiz would be my first guess on the 300. Those guys are laughable hustlers at times. I've heard stories that their HQ is near a TRU, and people constantly see their employees clearing out the shelves there to stock the site.

I went ahead and called their customer service to clarify, and basically I asked if I was guaranteed to get the items once they went back in stock, and he said yes absolutely and I'd have them before Christmas.
