My God I feel bad for anyone who buys anything from that website.

PKE for $350?

MM Ray for $99?

Wow.


seriously.. that's nearly 6 times the cost of the PKE and it isn't even discontinued..


Wait, what? Yes it is. It was a limited edition. They're not making more. They have some left that were put into things, but as far as we know, they're not going to put the PKE back into production.

Where is mine?

You are basing that theory on ONE auction that has a photo with 6 of them. Based on that you are assuming EVERYONE who ordered 6 got their order. If that were true, there would be a LOT more auctions on eBay with Buy It Now Quantity > 1.

You also don't know how those people got their Stay Pufts.. for all you know they could have gone to SDCC and bought them.

I got mine with no issues. The boxes from China seemed to be big enough to hold 2 of the Stay Pufts, so maybe they shipped first?

Who knows..

AJ man It is not just one auction there are a few auctions on there with multiple buys on it. Go through the first two that is 10 pieces alone.As for SDCC people did not all get theirs either because Mattycollector was short there as well.

You have just shown that you know nothing about this.

Everyone who pre-ordered one was able to pick theirs up at SDCC.

They did not sell any extras at SDCC. You had to pre-order.

Ouch. My local import store has Staypuft for 221 bucks. I wasn't able to 'stay puft" when I saw that price.

Are prices for the SDCC Sta on the secondary market going to shoot up or should I just suck it up and get him?

You're a 'punny' guy.

SEE WHAT I DID THERE?

Re: Mattel's Stay Puft fiasco..why am I reminded of that line from Star Wars that goes: "Fear. Fear will keep them in line." I have officially begun worrying about ghost trap day(Like it wasn't already working my nerves).

Anybody try to cancel their order?
I'm not too keen on doing business with a company that treats their customers this way. (although I will cave for the ghost trap)

From MattyCollectors' Facebook:

Quote:
STAY PUFT UPDATE: Due to unforeseen delays in production and shipping, inventory of the Stay Puft item took much longer to arrive in our distribution centers than originally anticipated. Our teams are working hard to fulfill all orders and shipping confirmations will start to go out on Friday or sooner. We understand your frustration and do apologize for the delay.

I think one time that production gets delayed is easy enough to forgive. If this happened multiple times that would be one thing, but for the love of God people, calm down.

Yes, they probably should have responded sooner, no doubt. But relax.

So, I call them to ask for my order to be cancelled, they said no and then emailed me a tracking number within a couple hours of my cancellation request.

Seems they either have secret stock for revenuie loss prevention, or the e-mail saying they would ship Friday is inaccurate.

I guess they finally got their stock in since they're shipping a lot now. They can start making people happy again!

I do hope that Matty is able to see and learn from problems in this sale and are ready for the onslaught of the ghost traps sale. Especially if they are able to release it before Halloween.

Girl Wonder is the brand manager for the Ghostbusters line, I'm not sure when but she took over from Toyguru when he concentrated on Green Lantern and MOTU

http://forums.mattycollector.com/eve/fo ... 5391033807

Its not quite an official press release but they wouldn't go on record and say it was like the PKE and then back track would they?

Mine supposedly shipped the other day when I got the email, but when I click on the tracking, it shows nothing. I'm guessing they only made the label. Wtf? LoL I usually get my packages in a day or so because I'm in CA. So my Q is, has anyone recent got theirs after Wednesdays email went out?

Holy crap! Matty, digital river, or whoever really screwed this up. I checked my tracking on the big guy today and this is what is says (keep in mind I live in Northern Ca.!)
8/20/2011 10:44 AM In transit Sparks, NV 89441
8/19/2011 04:33 PM Electronic Shipping Sent to USPS
8/19/2011 04:33 PM In transit Sparks, NV 89441
8/19/2011 01:00 PM Arrived at Shipping Facility Sparks, NV 89441
8/18/2011 01:35 AM Electronic Shipping Info Received Ontario, CA 91761
My question is? Why the hell would you send a product Out Of State to someone who lives in the state? this is the most asnine way to do buisness! All the other figures went straight from Ontario to the Bay Area.
