I think this is a b.s. tactic mattel is using... first they put a highly anticipated product out online 3 days early and at a ten dollar discount, then for a lot of you that ordered, they give you a backorder excuse with an "I don't know" if it will be re-stocked answer! They know that for the die hard fans they will be on mattycollector monday morning to buy the set again for fear of not getting a set at all... then they will suddenly have the backstocked items shipped a couple weeks later, in the end making you buy mulitples of their product

i wouldnt say "too good to be true".. FACT is 300 people, or 300 sets are now being packaged and shipped out by monday.. im sure any of you that got the "backorder" will either end up being re-funded unless mattel sends More to the "mattelshop wharehouse " but since it was a mistake in the first place i doubt it...
My main point is I AM PISSED @ MATTEL... very upset that many HUNDREDS of customers got this for $20... BUT i have to pay $30 on Monday..
i knew it was a mistake, but that doesnt matter, cause mattel allocated 300 sets and those will now be filled and sent out.

Those of you doubting the 300 order, go ahead and doubt. I was told by the customer service rep that a phone order from a online merchant came in, and ordered 300. Online u might have a 20 limit. But the call center can order you as much as you want.

To tell you the truth I could care less about the rockers. I just like to have complete sets when I collect.

im still a little puzzled...so there are a select few people who ordered from MattelShop early this morning who are going to get the pack and the rest of us who got the "Your order 7637925898 included backordered or advanced sale items that are unavailable for immediate shipment" emails are crapout of luck?

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

They should at least lower the price 5 or 10$ for monday too. I mean they are obviously making money from it at 20 or they wouldn't of sold the ones they did at that price. Kinda bullcrapif you ask me. Had they said we will sell say 300 at 20$ then the rest at 30 i can see.

I got the back ordered email too I called mattelshop and they told me they didnt know if they would get them in but the gut kept telling me after 30 days they would release the funds and i would get refunded though paypal,because thats how I paid.

This really is lame. They need to come right out and say one way or the other if those who got the backorder e-mail will receive the sets eventually. I'm sure we probably won't, but some absolute confirmation would be nice. As it stands, I have no idea what to do. I really don't want to order two more sets on Monday at a higher price if it's not necessary. I totally agree i would have liked a straight answer

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 That's the problem though, it's not confirmed. What we get is, "we may or may not be able to fulfill the backorders". Granted, that probably does mean we will never get the figures, but they need to quit being wishy-washy and just come right out and say that. I don't usually buy into conspiracies, but something about this whole situation seems a little off.

Not only did I not get a backorder email, and not only does it still say located in stock, the option to cancel the order disappeared. I think I made the cut! $24 shipped for Rockers I planned on spending $40 on. So happy I checked the boards this morning.

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.
