Why the hell put up a time then? I don't want the set bad enough to go through a couple minute window.

Got my turtles set! Booyakasha! For those that didn't, the link went live at 12:55:05. So have access to a fast internet connection, have your credit card loaded into your phone, and go for it... otherwise they'll take it from your cart to fill a faster order.

Yeah, due to my OCD,I reloaded their page every minute from 12:50 am until the items loaded and had my PayPal already logged into.
Was able to get a set. Very happy and fortunate. I was surprised they sold out this fast but then remembered that they are selling a portion of the 5,000 stock each day. Did NECA announce how many they put on sale each day? |

Any time I've ordered, I've had no problems. Only a couple times from store. Usually order via their Ebay store.

I ordered the NYCC Mirage Foot set. Set shipped the week after the convention. Well wrapped, sturdy cardboard. Neca is a good seller.

I think they didn't believe it would sell out in 3min, so they want to have more stock for convention, to lower the chances of an unruly mob at their booth.

How do you screw that up, you set a number to sell online each day and stick to it. There's absolutely no way they didn't know they'd sell out every day online. |

Picked up two Dutch figures. Considered the turtles but I bought the game sets last year and just tossed then in the garage after taking a few pics. If these were colored classic comic styled figures though I wouldn't be able to say no- I guess the toon just want my thing

$12.62 shipping for one Dutch figure. What bullshit.
But I got it anyway. Last edited by Dolemite; 06-20-2017 at 11:43 AM.. |

I got the Turtles & Dutch & the shipping was $22.58. Went back in & got 2 Poop Xenos & the shipping was $24.42. Makes a ton of sense, no? |

I can't believe they'd be that oblivious. And in any case, they must have assumed their totals for each day would sell out, and they're the ones setting it up and deciding how many to sell each day. IE out of 5,000, lets say they wanted to sell 500 a day for 4 days, to leave 3,000 for the show.

I refreshed at 12:56 and saw that they were live so I managed to get my order in and my email confirmation at 12:57. At 1:00 pm I refreshed again and they had sold out. Watching the Fb comments it looks like a lot of people got screwed when they chose the paypal option and ended up burning a lot of time logging into that, only to return to the checkout process and find their cart empty. That's why I'm glad I had my cc in hand and ready to go.

I refreshed every couple of minutes from 1 hour before the sale, lol... I was after the Sewer Mutation Alien since NECA is making it available to all Alien Club members (even us international customers). Got it in my cart and got as far as the address/shipping page. Couldn't buy today as they've suspended ALL international shipping options on the site. Apparently I need to wait until Monday before they lift this restriction.
I saw how fast that Turtles exclusive sold out at though, feel it for those of you who missed it today. Good luck tomorrow! |
