Monster High Discussion 17

[heftysmurf76]

Matty collector is NOTORIOUS for the WOD or frozen screens or seling out immediately. fans have been complaining at the he-man.org forums for years. They're partnered with Digital River and neither company is very willing to change much to fix it, BUT believe it or not, it is so much better than it used to be. In the past sometimes people got double and quadruple charged on their credit cards and still ended up with no merchandise.

I doubt they'll have it fixed for the SDCC exclusive so 'd recommend evil bay....sad as it is to say, your chances are better....or if you're rich do both and if you end up wth doubles sell em off

If it's right after the con the prices on ebay, while high, are not as high as they'll go later........correct????   Am I right in thinking this?

I believe it's like that. I know with the SDCC Ditzy Doo, she was being sold on eBay for $40-50 during that weekend she was sold at the con last year, same with some other exclusives.

I just hope they don't have that 6 per person thing again! It sounded like a great idea in communities like ours as people who were going were thinking they could get extras to help out friends/ fellow members  but what it actually did was enable the vendors to get more and turn around and resell them at inflated prices. I think I remember someone saying the vendors were able to get theirs earlier than the crowds but don't quote me on that!

Mattycollector says it does ship internationally as long as the US doesn't have a trades sanction in place with your country: I don't know if that appplies to SDCC exclusives though.

They do ship internationally for exclusives. Some people from the UK got Scarah last year.

Two more exclusives revealed today and neither are MH. Just watch, it will be revealed Friday. I wouldn't be surprised if the exclusive isn't a doll we are expecting or thought of. Lol

If that is the case I'll probably go ebay as well and just stomach the custom fees on that.. at least if it's a doll that I want. (I still hope it will be a re-dressed/re-coloured existing character)

My fingers are crossed that is is not InvsiBilly. I'm already worried enough about having to hunt down Heath. But I really think the SDCC doll will be a girl (or a two pack like Scarah if there's a boy included).

oh please not Invsibilly! or another boy i want... I have limits on what i can spend.... please dont be anything i want

Haha, I would do the same! I liked InvisiBilly from the second I saw him. xD I was somewhat tempted last year to try and get Scarah on MattyCollector, but I felt I wouldn't have a chance at getting her. ^^

I sure hope Mattel learns from last year's sell-out situation, and at least increase the number of them being made (and of course not allow vendors to buy up nearly the whole stock before the doors open). I remember when I was on another MH forum during that Comic Con weekend, some members who were at CC were very frustrated about it and said they weren't going to bother getting future SDCC MH exclusives because of it. I was so disappointed that Mattel actually let that situation happen.

Mattel doesn't care. Bottom line is they get the money, don't much care where it comes from. I believe there have been people from Mattel who have said as much. It's awful, and cruel... but sadly that's big business. Nothing much matters so long as the dollar figures are good :/.

*sob* S'true

But upping the number produced = more profit for Mattel, rather than more profit to dealers... I can't really see a downside to doing that. Mattel haven't ever officially said what the LE number is on the exclusives, right? They could produce more and we wouldn't even know, aside from it being potentially easier to get one. I know they want to feed the collector market by doing LE exclusives, but if they turn off fans with their handling of the exclusive, that isn't good...

Upping the number produced might lead to a further deterioration of quality control

I cant wait to see what this years CC doll is

  Mattel has said the LE # for MH . I remember reading the LE number for exclusives WAS 5000 dolls  for frankie and ghoulia but  i am not sure about scarah.

Thanks! Hm, interesting!

[SweetScoops]

Yesyesyesyesyesyes! *Does Twilight happy impression*
I've been saving up for this years SDCC and I simply can't wait for it to be revealed!!!

[Okiedokieloki]

Lol, I finally get to check the MH thread after all day, and seeing that it has jumped up by 5 pages since the last time I looked I was expecting the SDCC doll to have been announced. But it's just discussion on what people hope/don't hope it will be.

I can't remember the exact number of Scarahs that were released last year, but I know it wasn't 5000. That's why she was so hard to get compared to previous dolls. I think they only had about 500 for each day of the con last year (someone correct me if I'm wrong), and then another couple hundred up on the matteycollector site afterwards. So maybe between 2000 and 2500? If they do that number again it'll be a nightmare this year if it's a really sought after doll.

Did you find yours in a store? I got mine at Walmart. I don't need them. Are they worth putting on eBay still?
