the Official MattyCollector Ordering Thread
There was a request for a special thread for the 15th, so here we go. I'll have to remember to bump it up every month. Wow, that sounds more exciting than it is. 
I got in a few minutes late and scored Man at Arms and Flash with no trouble. Now my triumvirate of MOTU must haves is complete with Trap Jaw, Tri Klops and Man at Arms. Guess I'm a pretty limited He Man fan. I have more but those three were the ones I set out to get when I started.
Thanks Bobbi!!
I had to fight through the white screen for a tense two minutes, but I got Stinkor and Slush-Head! (LOL that sounds really dirty.)
I'm really surprised Spector is going to sell out so fast, given all the complaining about him, though...
Anyone pick up an extra Stinkor? He was gone by the time I made it to lunch.
Stinkor lasted 45 minutes. I put him in my cart, procrastinated, took him out, added him back in, and then lost him in checkout. Oh well, not that big a fan anyway.

I'll preface this by saying I have absolutely no hard evidence for it, but my hunch is The Mighty Spector was going to be a successful sale no matter what.

One of the main reasons I got the subscription this year was the "lower quantities - no reissues" statement, but it turns out all they needed to do was fix their darn site. Even with lower quantities I have had no problems getting in and ordering extras this year, except over Thanksgiving when the site kept timing out on me.
That said, were I not a subscriber, I probably wouldn't have gotten Stinkor. The reverse forearms just look bad so far. Totally okay with Spector's design, though - Laser-Lot is the pile of @$$ I don't want.
This is the first time I've had two subscriptions (one MOTUC and one DCUC) and why is it again that they can't combine shipping on these? At 10 bucks shipping a piece for 20 dollar figures, I'd prefer that I'd save even a little money on shipping and get them together.
In fact, I think it'd be cheaper to get them on the day of release (realizing I'd be taking my chances with their crappy site) from the site so I could combine shipping, even though the prices are slightly higher...
