Well that was a crapshow, but I wouldn't expect anything less from mattel. As someone else said, it's crazy how hard it is to get figures in 2020.... the hunt continues.

They were limited to 2 per order. The link was live on the “View Shop” button On their Instagram before the post went up. It was honestly very easy to checkout that way. I was able to browse all the other items too before deciding I didn’t want anything else.

I’m actually really annoyed. If it’s in my cart then leave it there.
I know many websites that hold items in your cart with an expiration time. If you don’t buy it in x amount of time then it removes it.
This is mind boggling. Literally sold out in seconds

I hardly ever use IG & completely forgot about this. I already had 1 from the previous preorder, but was going to try and get another. Oh well, sounds like another typical crap show.

Especially with exclusive/limited stock items.

Buying online exclusives as a regular collector has become near impossible. That's exactly what happened. This sold out in under 2 minutes, there is no way that many people had enough time to put in their info, solve 2 captchas and check out for it to sell out. I genuinely hope this is not the future of Mattels exclusives cause if it is we are ![](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wfcensored.gif) ed.

This is Footlocker website during Air Jordan release level bad haha Nah, that’s Target toy releases. I literally refreshed at just the right time to get the Storm/Thunderbird first appearance 2’pack Tuesday. Thank the lord. Anyway...speaking of Sneaker sites and Jordans. Let’s hope this added hype dies down by the time my OG Fire Red 4s hit in November. They’re already going to be tough since they are a Black Friday drop. I somehow managed to hit on SNKRS for the Flints and Eastbay came through as usual for the Fire Red 5 OG. (They came through on my Black/Infrared 6 last year and Black/Red 11 this past December, even though I already had 2 pairs of each already procured)

I didn’t have to deal with this mess since I did the entertainment earth order last month. But something has to be done with the bots. If you don’t think it was scalpers look at all of the newly listed Mr Ts on eBay all of a sudden.
Fandom across the board (all toy brands and lines) is starting to get fed up with exclusives and crap like this .

Everyone needs to realize that this was the SDCC exclusive. Some went up for sale on EE earlier, just like last years SDCC exclusive. I’m assuming that the quantities that were sold on the Mattel Creations website, were the ones that they would have had at SDCC if it had taken place in person.

I always strike out on eastbay when it comes to Jordans, yet Target has been good to me for toy releases ironically haha

If you don’t think it was scalpers look at all of the newly listed Mr Ts on eBay all of a sudden. Fandom across the board (all toy brands and lines) is starting to get fed up with exclusives and crap like this . I don't mind exclusives if it is in packaging only. The best way for a company to run an exclusive like this is to sell this just as they did. 3 months from now, announce that this exact same figure, with the same accessories will be available as a regular Elite. It would be considered a 'cheap' figure for that wave as everything is already done - it is just a repeat. But for those of us that want the actual figure to open and display, this would be perfect. The value of the original figure would not go down for those that are concerned about such things. A win for everyone. If only every exclusive was done in this way. Just like how we want King Harley Race to be reissued, they should do the same with this.
