Buying the SDCC Undertaker exclusive

[Next Man’s Knowing Rock]

Does anybody know how this is going to work? Will you just be able to go and buy it from Mattel's booth straight up, or will there be the "queue for tickets to be allowed to buy it, then queue at a certain time to buy it" system that Con exclusives sometimes use?

SDCC Fans,

The Matty team has answered the call of the fans… for the first time ever we’re going to offer a limited number of products (and limited quantities) for pre-sale here on MattyCollector.com for pick up at SDCC! We’re still finalizing the details, but here’s basically how it’ll work:

* Be here at MattyCollector.com on Tuesday, 7/13 at 9 a.m. PT (noon ET).
* Choose the items you want and add them to your cart. Purchase limit of 6 per person applies to all products.
* Your credit card will be charged and a confirmation email (voucher) will be sent.
* Bring your voucher, the credit card you used for the transaction, your identification, and your Comic-Con badge to Manchester Room 1 at the Marriott San Diego Hotel and Marina, which is just next door to (and connected to) the San Diego Convention Center.
* Pick up your product on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday: 10 AM - 12 noon or 1:30 PM - 4:00 PM. All sales are final. There are NO REFUNDS so be sure to pick up your purchase(s).
* If you are only attending Comic-Con on Sunday, this option is not available to you.
* If you don’t pick up your product by the end of the show on Saturday, your product will go into the products available for sale at the show on Sunday. You may be able to purchase it then, but there are no guarantees.
* Products cannot be shipped. This option is for pick up at SDCC only, and only available to SDCC attendees (badges will be required).

Please note: there is a limited amount of each product available for pre-sale. It’s first-come, first-served and there are no promises you’ll be able to purchase a voucher for every product. But if you’ve successfully purchased a voucher, you’re guaranteed to get your product – including SDCC-exclusive Starro spores, Plastic Man suitcase, and Orko® with color-change features!

Here are the products we’ll have available for pre-sale. Individual product pages will be posted soon, but you can see images here in the meantime.

* Masters of the Universe® Mo-Larr vs Skeletor® Figures
* Masters of the Universe® Orko® Figure (with SDCC-exclusive color-change features)
* Cars Toon Tokyo Mater
* DC Universe Plastic Man Figure (with suitcase)
* Justice League of America presents Starro the Conqueror (with Starro spores)
* James Cameron's Avatar™ The Final Battle - Avatar Jake Sully vs Colonel Miles Quaritch Figures
* Retro-Action™ The Real Ghostbusters™ Peter Venkman™ Figure
* Toy Story 3 Disney/Pixar Collection Lotso Figure
* World Wrestling Entertainment® Undertaker® Figure

If you miss this sale or the product you want is sold out for pre-sale, we’ll still have these products available for purchase at SDCC subject to availability (see below). We’ll have lots more at the show besides the ones listed above (to be announced soon), so be sure to stop by booth #2945 either way!

For those who can’t attend the show, we’ll also offer limited quantities of these products after the show here at MattyCollector.com on 8/2 at 9 a.m. PT (noon ET), although the SDCC-exclusive Starro Spores and Plastic Man suitcase won’t be included, and Orko won’t have color-change features. More details will come on this special sale as it gets closer.

We know you’ll have lots of questions, but as I said, the team is still working out the logistics and I’ll let you know the details as soon as I have them. Please post your questions here and I’ll try to include the answers in my future posts.

Thanks for the info. That's more to do with pre-ordering and picking up at the show, it doesn't really go into the process for someone just buying one at the show, but it might prove very helpful nonetheless.

Scalpers are gonna be all over some of those things.

[Next Man’s Knowing Rock]

Do scalpers hit the SDCC exclusives hard? I'm not going, but I'm getting a pal of mine who is going to pick me up one of these hopefully, and he said that buying an exclusive figure last year would have taken literally about two hours out of the day because of the way the ticketing/line system worked.

Yeah...they hit SDCC very hard. I really wouldn't worry about Taker though. 2 hours isn't much. I stood in line for almost 5 hours for the Hasbro line 2 years ago. Crazy I know...but you stand in line so long, you just figure you'll see it to the end.

Well in the link, it says Voucher pre-sale, so it's safe to assume it's voucher based.

I'd love to go so I could get Taker & the GI Joe 25th anniversary Sgt. Slaughter figure. But I live in PA so it would be quite a trip, ya know?

I collect the Masters of the Universe line and mattel always puts the exclusive form SDCC up for sale on the Monday after. I would guess that the Undertaker will be the same.

[austin209]

if the taker isnt numbered, then it should be easy to get soon after the sdcc

[BuckDenaro7: Elite Trader]

If anybody is going to SDCC please pick me up 2 Takers and I will pay for them. I live in NY. This would be a long ass hike for a few figs. Awesome fig though.

You guys do know Taker and Slaughter will be available on Hasbrotoyshop and Mattycollector shortly after the con...right?
