Oh I'm sure there won't be a problem in regards to the item being unavailable to anyone, in any form. I just wonder if Mattelshop will claim that their individual stock is depleted, and the rest are only available at Mattycollector.com. I'm hoping the "back-order" stuff is just something minor linked to the fact that these were originally set to ship starting Monday.
I mean really, you'd assume these would/could be (at least temporarily) pulled down before Monday. If they don't, only uninformed US buyers and international collectors will be bothering with Mattycollector.com come then.
Either way, it'll be interesting to see why Mattel made this sudden move. I don't believe there were ever any talks of this happening. I always assumed the sets would eventually pop up at other established online vendors (outside of eBay), but not on Mattelshop.com several days before they were set to release.

Well, judging from this post alone, they have sold roughly 200 sets already. And like I said, that's just from the people who post on this board in this topic. My guess would be roughly another 200 sets have been sold as well. That's 400 sets in less than 8 hours. This is good. I'm sure there are several other people who will be ordering on Monday when they "officially" go on sale. This is excellent news for the Legends line.

I missed out on the TRU promo because they never had any L6 so wow not only thank you for the thread but thank you for the code! I actually placed my order before I saw the code so I called up the Mattel Shop number at 1-888-7-MATTEL and was immediately connected to a girl and told her that I couldn't find where to enter the promo code online so she took it over the phone and credited the 15% back to my card. Thanks again!!!

I don't think there will be an issue with them cancelling orders that are on "BACKORDER". you know how many people they would piss off?

I just checked the site and it says they are still in stock. Why would they be selling more if they are back ordered already?
Thanks! Jeff

My only guess is that these are kind of like an unwritten "pre-order", and nothing will be moving until Monday at the earliest.

I really hope you're right ... just something smells fishy to me ... being listed on the site days before it's supposed to go on sale and for only $20 instead of $30 ... wouldn't shock me if they were canceled, as mad as we'd all be.

Yeah i was just coming on here too bitch about the same lol i ordered mine 2 hours ago on mattelshop.com and they said in stock, now i got the email saying there "Back ordered" and they would not charge my credit card til the order came in stock and shipped. I called my credit card, them bastards took the money off it anyways, so i was wondering. Does there In Stock and Back Order on these items mean that was a pre order item there waiting on for Monday? or are they pulling the screw job too alot of us? Is anyone else canceling there order too order from Mattycollector.com on Monday, or are you just keeping your order with mattelshop.com idk what too do, but i need too figure something out soon before the weekend so i can be ready for monday incase. Like i said, there back order email said my card would NOT be charged until the order came in and shipped, but i was already charged the $27 for one set so does this mean its official, and they will come or what are they pulling?

Mark You are right... it is strange. I think I'm going to order at least 1 set from MattyCollector.com on Monday just to make sure I get my hands on 1 set.

I just got the backorder/advanced sale item email like the rest of you guys. I really hope they don't cancel all of our orders.
Has anyone tried to call them to ask why they are being backordered when still being listed as in stock?

I just checked my email again and I have two emails from Mattelshop. The first one was the original order notification with no details. The second one came about an hour later and was listed as an order confirmation with my details and totals.
When did any backorder emails come in for anyone? Did it come after those two?

I got one email that just said the order number with no details. The second email I got was the one about them being on backorder.

Poop stains....Just got my backorder e-mail as well. From the way I read it though it was an "advanced" sale, which leads me to believe these will be in-stock on Monday.

OK. So maybe some orders will get shipped. My second email did not say anything about being on backorder. It actually says that my expected arrival date is November 23rd.

Please copy part of your email in that shows where it says it is on backorder.
I do not see that in my second email at all. I am now wondering if mine will ship.

I think my order went through without any issues because when I click on link in my Order confirmation email it has my order and says "Item(s) located in stock"

I just called them about my order with the rockers 2 pack's saying they were in stock and now being on back order all sudden. They said they may not be in stock now for 4-6 weeks, and anyone who got charged it was a pre auth and with in a day or 2 the money should pop back up on your cards and he said that if we know mattycollector.com is getting them in for sure, too just go ahead and order from that site on Monday. Basically sounds like there site was a hoax for that. Im sure they prob had like 50 copies of them in so a few ppl prob got lucky, all the rest are going too have too do matty on Monday, including myself
