Yep lame. Just picked up Kobra Khan. Can't wait to get him. The Snakemen army grows stronger!!!

[Optimus Vader]

KK was an easy buy today. No white screens for me.

[Tiberius]

As cool as Kobra Kahn is, I need King Hsss first before I get anyone else :P.

[Optimus Vader]

I have no idea why I don't have a King Hsss close up picture. I'm slacking. I have to post this one for now since he's in the front.

[Optimus Vader]

Kahn is sold out. Glad I blew off a meeting or I would've missed him.

[thechris]

Yep, a definite important buy for me, too. Happy I got him when I could.

[Tiberius]

I have issues buying from stores when I am still waiting on another shipment to arrive. I guess I am crazy. Still rather have a few other characters before Kobra Kahn though..

[cmax75]

I think Kahn sold out in about an hour. Can't wait for him to arrive in the mail. Also went ahead and FINALLY scored a Webstor and a She-Ra.

I tried to get Teela last night, but she was already sold out by then.

[Tiberius]

I got a few figures on my hit list. This is what I am HOPING will show up in the mail

Hordak
Grizzlor
Skeletor
Trap Jaw
He-Man.

I have two that are in talks
She-Ra
Leech.

So what remains for me is
Moss Man
Man-E-Faces
Man-At-Arms
Teela
Demo-Man
Beast Man

[MegsTriggerMan]

You know I call Matty to change my subscription mailing address with my move ... the rep confirms that it will take effect and my march sub figure will ship to new address.

Of course its Matty so i get my shipping notification today ... you guessed it, old address!

Classic Matty....

Man to many nightmare stories...

Hmmm... I don't see Evil Lyn or Tri-Klops in there. LOL.

[Tiberius]

Those are usually over 40 bucks on eBay so I didn't even bother. Evil Lyn sometimes, Tri-Klops, NEVER </3

[KshatriyaNZ666]

Yeah, A while back, I had a wad of evilBay bucks lying around so I went ahead and spent the whole thing to get Tri-Klops off of said site. Seeing as how he's my 2nd favorite MOTUC fig, I'd say that that was a pretty good choice.

Incredible. I really wish their product wasn't so damn good because they really are annoying as hell to deal with.

[thechris]

Yeah, plus their site is so poorly designed, it's ridiculous. MattelShop is so much better. This Digital River, Inc. is at times less than "acceptable".

[Robogeek28]

*sigh* I finally decided to break down and rebuy some of the figures I had before I sold them all while this sale is going on but Battleground Evil-Lyn won't go into my cart even though she's reading as available.

[Tiberius]

I want my shit to show up already. This is driving me nuts. Siiiigggh.

I've got a hunch that it has something to do with the fact that they probably built the eCommerce system themselves and the programmers created a conditional statement where:

Quote:

if (product == 0) {
status = "Sold Out";
} else {
status = "Available";
}

instead, they should have used:

Quote:

if (product <= 0) {
status = "Sold Out";
} else {
status = "Available";
}

The former sets the state of the product to "Sold Out" only if the number of items in stock equals 0, that is, if the inventory is equal to less than 0, it still treats it as in stock. The second statement would set state to "Sold Out" if inventory equals or is less than 0. My guess is that the system will sell you the quantity up to 99 whether or not it has that in stock so long as the status of the item is still greater than 0. This would also explain why often people are unable to have their entire orders fulfilled despite the fact that the transaction had gone through. Another reason this would fail to work is when two people are processing their orders simultaneously and that it only checks for inventory at the time that you add an item to your cart and not after you've gone into the processing screen causing items to oversell.

[Robogeek28]

That explanation made my head hurt.

Hey, is that the "flocked ears" Moss Man that you've got there??

[Tiberius]
