    And to that I say, make 2010 sub available again and I will buy another one

    I had so many issues. My ISP kept dropping out, I couldn't get back on MSN, WSOD for easily 20mins, I had TJ in my cart but lost him at processing, I couldn't get back to sleep and I have had to resort to ebay for a figure that I already have in a subscription but because I want a MOC and Kronis I needed another 2

    Atleast I have 2 x Battle Cat and 5 x Battle Stands, plus my MOC MAA and one for rrr22

    What a night

    (yes I still use Trap Jaw smilies even though it all went to hell )

    Did you guys go straight to the page with all the sale items on the one page?

    http://www.mattycollector.com/store/...rID.3800209109

    I swear that getting the totals into that page before the WSOD went beserk was the only reason I got my figures.

    Hi The Fallen, i missed out on all of my order, i really need 1 Battle Cat, i need 2 but i can pick up a loose one later, i just need the one so the 2nd release dosent have "The Original" on it. If you could sell me one (if still available) i would be eterianlly greatful. Sorry, just re-read it and realised you dont have one for sale, my bad.

    I couldnt get on the He-man.org last night and i was checking out the Matty forums and BOY there was some hate in there, but i can understand why.

Obviously the server errors etc... but it seems as if there weren't nearly enough Trap Jaws produced? Or something else as Trap Jaw being sold out after what, 10-15 mins? Like i mentioned before, i'm really curious to see how this turns out, it's way too big an issue to not say anything. Time will tell.
    Its getting beyond ridiculas. Sell out times are the biggest thing for me, i dont care if i have to wait with the WSOD but when items sell out in 20mins and they are MONTHLY figures its basically a joke.

    I think AJ and I could have written that response....

    Basically he says.. "Wow, we can't believe it!! Now buy a subscription!"
    Exactly, they just keep pushing the sub, they better have some more shipping options and how could they NOT see Battle Cat selling out, for God sake its Battle Cat. Battle Cat i say. Would really like to know how many they had produced, nearly not enough.

    I feel the same way, when i missed out i threw my daughters new Sylvester the Cat plush doll across the room into the blinds. I was pretty annoyed, i couldnt get back onto MSN or the forums. Not happy at all. I missed out on my order and another 2 orders one being Claw guy 3. This really sucks.

    Yep, i was in there, i got to the final page before i hit submit at 4:11am, i was good to go but had to go but my billing address is different to my shipping address and i didnt change the billing address as it automatically displays my shipping address first.

    I was going to submit anyway but risked going back. Ahhhhh, i was in such a rush i didnt click 1 button and totally miss out.

    I had everything done and hit submit only for the display that Trap jaw is sold out, had to remove it from my cart, by that time Battle Cat had sold out, i wasnt in a very good mood this morning, swearing and cursing.

    TG response really annoys me too. This continues to happen and they are letting it happen. These sell out times is just CRAP.

    Im heading to Newcastle for a few days, if anyone has a spare Battle Cat, send me a pm.

    Also i checked out ebay last night, a Battle Cat sold for $15.00 buy it now, and others wher selling for $70.00 plus, im guessing the $15.00 BC was an error, they would have to honour it though.

    That was so crazy last night. I had only two hours sleep the night before and I was sitting at my computer last night continually watching the WSOD, just wanting to sleep.

    I got Battle Cat. I thought about ordering more in case anyone here missed out - I really wish I had done it now. As soon as my order went through I was going to put in another order (to check the postage rates) but he had already sold out.

    Mattel really needs to up the quantities. This is a joke. Personally, I think they are doing it to scare everyone into getting a sub.

    Exactly and sadly fans will do as they request because of this. It's not going to work on me in fact it has had the opposite effect. I'm saying a big FU to the 2011 sub which I was going to get. I have seen and read today and this morning I'd sooner rather pay a sc@lper a little extra and get the figure than to line the pockets of conniving scum bags. At least an ebay seller will give me a little customer service.

    And from here on in it's 1 figure only. I'll be selling off all my doubles in the future.

    Yeah... I couldn't get on the org at all last night! It was totally nuts! And some of the things I read over on the Matty forum were insane! So much hate!!

    After all that, I'm still after a Trap Jaw (as The Fallen pointed out several posts back) if anyone has a spare they'd be willing to sell... pretty please

    I hope this isn't the case, i mean if quantity is the issue then they'll still have problems especially if everyone (theoretically) took out a sub.

    As i mentioned in another thread on the main site concerning TG response, i feel i'm kinda in two minds at the moment concerning a 2011 sub cause i want the "issues" of this morning ironed out by the time the 2011 sub goes on sale (august?) but at the same time i know that more awesome characters will be released down the track and i'll likely miss those (just like Adora, Trap Jaw) if i don't sign up. I'm not gonna be pressured into it by any means but we'll see how it turns out.

    Well, if Matty/DR wanted to **** off fans, this was the way to do it. I missed out on everything thanks to their awesome server. Oh, I got MAA, but that was because everyone stopped hammering the site after they realised TJ and BC were gone. Had to empty out my cart of both items thanks to my half hour wait.

    This just proves that Matty/DR just doesn't care about fixing the problems, cause a sell-out is still a success in their eyes. Very poor.

    Don't know if this is enough to turn me off completely from collecting the line, but it has crossed my mind several times.

    Ditto buddy! And I refuse to resort to Ebay for TJ I will wait until he's re released.

    if I could actually still buy a sub I bloody-well would, but they sold the subs halfway through 2009, and its now 2010, why not just offer the subs all year round? ... another option would be to limit figure quantities to 4 or 5 per figure for first release then up it to 10 on the re-issue, mathematically that would keep twice as many fans happy when these insane sell-outs occur

    I punched the air when my order for x2 Battle Cats and x2 Battle Stand packs went through!
    Luckily I didn't have to worry about my x2 Trap Jaws since I have the subscription.
    Looking at all the angry posts through out the board makes me feel very lucky to have secured my orders.
    I did have trouble though on Fire Fox. WSOD was on for more than 10 mins so I switched over to IE and it worked a treat with no hang time what so ever.

    I use IE and it still took me forever

    This may be a scare tactic by Mattel to sell 2011 subscriptions but I am certainly getting 2 next year.

    If they offered a back end 2010 sub I would be all over it. Infact I personally think that is exactly what they will do, mark my words

    And this whole debacle must have been the worst ever because usually the aussies are somewhat successful. I guess our luck had to run out some time

    I did hear how Mer Man was sold twice in one month or something. I'm almost afraid to ask lol. Surely it couldn't have been worse than the T.J./B.C. fiasco?

    I called it quits after that but came back with my tail between my legs trying to catch up several months later.

    My thoughts are set in stone now. I'll only buy 1 figure that I want from here on in and it is highly unlikely that I'll ever buy from Matty again. Just to frustrating and time consuming to do it any more.

    Ah, yes - Mer-Man... now that was a fun morning!

    Honestly, I think trying to order Mer-Man was just as frustrating as last night with TJ & BC. I remember thinking at the time, I'm just not gonna be able to handle this every month. And then, suddenly, it got really easy! I didn't have troubles again until Adora!

    I feel really bad I didn't get extra's for you guys now.... But with the cost of 3 BattleCats I only got 1 extra TJ. When Tytus comes out I'll have to get extra of the monthly figure.

    A LOT more people missed out this time, but I do remember the RSOD going for longer with Mer-Man.

    I think that ordering Trap Jaw is what caused people to miss out alltogether.
