Haven't received the back order email but the status is back order. Hopefully we can get a real answer soon.

pretty much. I got lucky and never got the backorder email so it looks like im going to get my sets but if you got the backorder it is pretty much confirmed you will not get the figures I never got the email either, but I checked my order status and it says back-ordered, so if I were you, I'd go ahead and check just in case. checked again and mine still has no back order and listed as being located in stock awaiting shipping. I ordered mine right about 9 am est so it looks like pre 9 am should be good after that im not sure.

I don't know why people are still wondering about the back-orders. Mattel made it pretty damn clear. A shipment of them got sent to Mattel Shop by accident. By the time the Matty people found out about the situation it was to late and all the ones they had got in sold out. All of the rest of them will be sold on Matty and Mattel Shop will not be getting in anymore as they weren't meant to have them in the first place.

I think I made the cut as well. I ordered at around 6 a.m. central. I haven't received a shipment confirmation e-mail, but I also didn't get a backorder message either. We'll see. I ordered around 6:11, and its got the shipment confirmation. So you should be good. Mine will be here Tuesday.

Wow, what a sour grape this has been. I hope Mattel fulfills the limbo orders as I don't think of them as welchers.
If this doesn't work out, i'll be paying $27 for 2 basics, also I will be very slightly mad.

I doubt they'll honor the back orders seeing Mattel shop wasn't supposed to get them at all, because it's a MattyCollectors exclusive and they only got a few by mistake. Maybe if they don't sell out of them on MattyCollectors they might send shop a few more to cover the orders, but I personally doubt it.

I'll still participate in the Monday sale as I want to get some extra stands with the money I saved getting the Rockers from MattelShop.

So who bought 300 Rockers in one fell swoop?

I did receive shipping info. I guess I was able to order before the 300 Monster?

Obviously it was ringside. I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Maybe 300 was a bit much, but can you blame RSC if it was them? People will order from them no matter what. Plus, if they have the Rockers in stock, I am sure people will order a set or 2 along with some pre-orders or what not. RSC can wind up selling them for the same price Mattycollector would and they would still get a profit on them.
To me, RSC is a Wrestiling figure store only and them buying up a bunch of sets for themselves, if it is true, for a cheaper price was a smart move.

I doubt anyone bought 300 even if someone was to call for a bulk order...I just can't see anyone (including T0yW1z) wanting to take that risk that they'd be able to sell that many.

Legends TT is $37.99 at Ringside (they are $24.99 right now at TRU). I would hate to see how much they are going to charge for the Rockers.

Based on that info, they may charge them for $32.99, which, guess what, people will pay to get the Rockers. PLUS, they will probably order from RSC anyway as they can get other figures with their order and use a discount code. $32.99 with the WFIGS code would make it $29.70. Add $8 or $9 to that for Shipping and it's the same as Matty. Plus, like I said before, RSC will have other figures you can order along with them, while Matty only has the Rockers and the stands.

I think maybe the rep who said they sold out because of an order for 300 was wrong. I think they allocated 300 to sell on the site, so the first 300 will ship.

That's exactly what I do for most MOTUC figures unless I need the figure right away. I usually skip Matty and buy from spam. spamS.com always has a sale going so I pick up a bunch of figures and throw some Matty figures into the order. I usually break even or do better that way. Got my shipping notice.

I am still so confused by this whole backorder issue. Everyone on here seems to think the backorders won't be fulfilled, but here is a copy of an e-mail I sent Mattel Shop last night and the response I received today.
My e-mail: I placed an order earlier today for 2 of the WWE Legends Rocker 2 packs and then received an e-mail saying they were backordered. I have been reading on message boards that it was a mistake that you even received them and would not be getting anymore or honoring the backorders. I am trying to verify if this is true, so I can cancel my order. I would appreciate a yes/no answer, so I know if I need to go elsewhere to acquire the product.
Their response: We appreciate your inquiry and would be happy to assist further. After careful review we have determined there is no indication this item will not be fulfilled from the back order status. We expect a product in a backorder status to ship within a 2-3 week time frame. We apologize for any inconvenience faced in the delay and appreciate your continued interest in Mattel brand products.
If there is anything that we can further assist with, please do not hesitate to give us a call at the number listed below.
Thanks again for contacting us. We look forward to assisting you again soon!
Sincerely,
Christopher B. The Customer Service Team 1-888-7Mattel (762-8835) Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! MattelShop.com | Delivering play, every day!
I still have no idea what to think about this whole situation. I would really like some clarification so I know if I need to try and order these again on Monday.
