New Ghostbusters Figures

[Mudshark]

What do you mean pre-order? You can't, you just have go on the site and order when they decide to put it up for order! The time difference thing for us in europe though its annoying because its actually 1:50 pm afternoon now and we have to wait till those guys in california or wherever mattycollectors is based to get up and go into work lol

Hopefully they are based in ny or something coz its like 9:00 am there now. With all these people waiting around for these figures it'll probably crash the server when all the people just immeadiately try and go and order at the same time lol!

The announced release is supposed to be 12:00 noon, Eastern (New York) time, so that should be in just under 3 hours. Anyway, this ought to help you with the timing calculation...

Thanks for the info, Mudshark! Looks like I'll have to get an early lunch, or a later one.

No worries, guys. Glad to help out. Btw, ordering time will be 1:00 a.m. where I am, so don't feel too bad about the time difference!

They ship pretty much right after payment--I buy all the JLU figures from them and you get your stuff really quickly.

I'm just worried that my work computer will crap out the second the ordering window opens. It already runs slower than molasses in January, but when the website is going to be bogged down because of not only the Ghostbusters fans, but also the MOTU fans clamoring for two MOTUC releases, my odds of not being to place my order increase dramatically.

I've already got calls placed with some local friends who will place the order on my behalf, though.

 

[teabelly83]

yeah this is guna suck so bad. hope we get our orders in because when they pop up on ebay i bet they will be far more pricey then on matty now.

any idea what matty normaly charge for postage? do they go on siz or weight? i was charged 9$ when i got the 6" egon, but im expecting it to be alot more for the 12"

 

[holtrax]

Yeah this system they are using is not good i.e using a release date, overwhelming a server with orders and then having everyone clamering and worrying over wheither they will get their orders in or submitted properly the first time round.

Maybe they could do what sideshow do and just let people pre-order it. That way people get their orders in well in advance of when a figure is released, they have peace of mind because they know they'll get the figure and the company themselves have less problems with annoyed customers. Even the way matty has the accounts set up is weird. You have to make an order just to set an account up.

 

[teabelly83]

yeah preordering isnt a bad idea at all. id def do that. alot of places, like play.com etc take preorders and jst take payment when the item is instock and is ready to ship

 

[Mudshark]

Sorry guys, I've been occupied setting up an account on Matty's site. I put a Batman figure in a shopping cart and that let me start the new account process. Just waiting to quickly put a 12" Ray in there and check out, hopefully before all hell breaks loose!

To answer your questions....

where ru mud?

Land of the Rising Sun, mate.

Isn't Nippon Japan?

You got it! Nippon is Japanese for Japan.

 

[Mudshark]

Less than 15 minutes to go now. This is gonna be my first ever purchase from Matty... here's to hoping it doesn't turn into a cluster ****!

 

[teabelly83]

ahha cool thanks mud.

 

[holtrax]

here we go folks 9 minutes to go!

 

[sabertruth]

hey guys, is it better to be logged in and then place the order or place the order first and then log in? thanks.

 

[holtrax]

nah then you might get an order placed on your card you don't want. Just keep your login details handy and quicky add to cart login then order.
