Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Mattel: LSH action figures!

Hey Toy Fan,

If you're seeing this screen, it means we're experiencing extraordinarily high levels of traffic. No need to worry -- it's a normal function of traffic management.

It's not showing up on the Oct 17 page for me. Is it possible that it sold out in an hour and fifteen minutes?

It is listed as "almost gone"...

When I left work it was still "comin soon" (almost an hour late), then I had to visit two of my troubled adolescents in hospital (they're both doing fine), and 90 minutes later it was listed as "almost gone" ... oh my, this was a thrill, I was able to place my order in time to get an email stating that my order was confirmed and "in the process of getting ready to ship"...

...so I guess I really just spent 215 $ on Legion toys and shipping...

WOW

I hope you get it, Sudro... it IS your birthday...

Sudro, just curious... did you click the sale banner atop the front page? The set's still showing as "Almost Gone" there...

Jep, stiiiiill showing, go get it

The only other sale item listed as "Almost Gone" now is the other "highend" item... the Ghostbusters Prop Replica Ghost Trap ($130)...

It's 10:40 PST and I am NOT seeing the Legion Set, except the banner picture. I'll be super bummed if this set is already gone in 1 1/2 hours. Anybody have the latest news on this?

Just checked ebay; there is at least two listings there for the figures at $300 per set, plus shipping...

Talk about your super villains...

Checked back at MattyCollector and the Legion Set finally showed up for me - as officially sold out!

Wow. This is my first try on the Matty Collector web site and I have to say I'm not terribly impressed on how they do business.

I had been looking forward to this for weeks. Don't think I'll waste my time there again, and I'm certainly not going to get pillaged on ebay. The good news is I have an extra $200+ dollars now in pocket.

i didn't get it!!! and i aint paying pirates on ebay for higher than normal prices...i know Matty will re-release these i mean how can they not right? and the demand means we'll get more LEGION figures BRING ON THE GIRLS, LASSES AND DAMSEL

So how many did they sell until they were sold out - what do you guess? And does this mean they will produce further sets, finally realizing there's a financially strong Legion audience out there?

@Kid Quislet

Definitely a bummer, I feel sorry for you. Hope you'll get your set from a less capitalistic dealer..

i wonder how many they had in stock...i'm sure t hey didnt think they would sell out by the first day of it being offered so good news for all the fans of the legion and those guys from that wizard article about these figures are legion fans big time.

CK i saw that ebay offer too just now...aint no one bidding on it...i want it but that's way too much for now...ill only pay for it like that if there's no other choice...i can patiently wait for a reissue.

They seem to have totally underestimated the amount of Legion fans willing to spend 200 $ on action figures. There probably will be a second edition if they are not totally dumb

My hope is that this was the big test for their Legion line and that now, they will start to produce some single Legionnaires. My favorites would be: Phantom Girl, Blok, Dawnstar, White Witch, Lightning Lass and maybe a tiny Violet

Because of personal reasons, I didn't get a chance to buy this set as well. If Mattel has any clue they better get more of these out there stat.

It's ridiculous that they didn't have more in stock.

Well, if Matty doesn't do a second run, I guess I'll have to content myself with the Adventure era figs from DC Direct. No way am I rewarding some eBay non-fan jerkface for scooping real fans out of this set. Very frustrating. I've been looking forward to this set for more than a year.

I hope Mattel does a reissue soon and all the scalpers end up eating their extras... #@$%ers.

I missed out, too. Some people have jobs where computer access for shopping just isn't a possiblity. I really wish they'd done preorders. Oh, well-- maybe some picky collectors will return their set for some minor reason that I wouldn't mind. Guess it's check the site every couple of hours for the foreseeable future, in case more are made available.

I'd think that selling out in less than two hours would pretty much guarantee a second set, but who can figure out how Mattel thinks?

Didn't even have a chance. Oh well.

Given all of the trouble needed to mold twelve distinct figures, you'd think that they'd make more than one day's supply.

The JLU-verse Legion figures never really sold out (except maybe when they discounted them recently), so they probably underestimated the sales potential. I am surprised they didn't even last a day, though, given the price.

But Mattel and their website have a long history of poor customer service and not seeming to care in the least what customers want.

I doubt they'll do another run. They're happy to let the scalpers take care of the people slower Internet connections or with lives that prevent them from buying toys online during the workday, true fans be damned.

I was lucky enough to get my order in before the set sold out. Selling out in three hours was definitely a surprise as usually only comicon exclusives and MOTU stuff sells out that quickly.

One beacon of hope - as long matty leaves the set listed as "sold out" and not "gone for good", there's a chance (however slim) that they may do another run.

There's a better chance we may be seeing s second Legion set at some point - hopefully sooner than later.

Also don't forget that Star Boy/Starman will be coming in the subscription line in 2012.

oh crap...I missed that!!!!! grrrrrr a aAAAAAERRRRRRRRGGHHHHHH!!!!!!

Hm, as far as I can see only Colossal Boy and me were able to get an order done... did everybody else here luck out and if they did - where do all the Legion sets go in the end?

Do you think that a lot of dealers bought ten sets (that was the maximum amount) on a gamble to make a 50% profit margin like the one offer on Ebay implies?

Another question: Do you know how quickly Mattel starts with their shipping procedure? Guess it will take some weeks anyway to get those beauties to Germany...

I remembered ordering the JLU Legion line (four of them) and it arrived in my mail pretty fast...I was surprised to see it arrived...since I thought that it would take about a month or two...but it was fast.

I think it is a BIG BIG mistake for the Mattel to allow the orders maxed up to 10!!! geez! I wish we can find a way to petition or protest or put a bad review on Mattel to make them listen to us..but nope not work becuase they are all business!

grrrrr....
