10 mins! Going for King Grayskull plus a weapons pack. Only want the Trap Jaw pieces i think, so rest probably for sale later if anyone's interested
Edit:
Huzzah! Success! That wasn't so bad ... one WSOD on my first reload @9am PST. Another going to payment options. Both lasted about 2 minutes and then it continued, and now i have a confirmation email!! Hope it's this easy for Cyber Monday (and for everyone else today too!)

Same here! lolOriginally Posted by gekisou
Congratulations. It was touch and go as I was in the waiting screen for like 15 minutes before I could complete my order.

LOL Same here. I was on the site 10 minutes prior and for 20 odd minutes, it kept refreshing.
I guess I will sell my extra here if anyone wants it. It usually takes about a month to get to me...

It may be the same with me, I am not sure of shipping times to Sydney from Matty.
Shopping at Mattycollector for the first time was a nerve wrecking suspenseful experience. I was sure that I had missed out when I was 15 minutes in the waiting screen with no sign of breaking free. Thankfully that wasn't the case and I know what to expect next time.

Reading the success/failure stories on he-man.org... man some of those ppl have 5 browsers open and are constantly refreshing manually.. it's no wonder the site can't take it!
They certainly have an interesting way of handling the load anyway. I would have thought just packing their server to the brim with more processor power and memory would solve half these ordering problems (it does for the servers used by my work).

I think the site server is just an old 486 in Matty's basement.
Opening 5 browsers does nothing if they are running from the same connection. The site is grabbing you by the IP address. Each of the computers need to be on a separate connection. I had my PC on my home internet and the smartphone on mobile internet just so that I could have a bit of an edge. It's crazy that a massive corporate body like Mattel has such a crappy server.
Yeah I now know. Unfortunately I am not all that interested in too many figures to have a subscription so I will need to continue battling like this. I understand now why someone said in the He-Man.org chat that its more like a siege than a battle. You have to break through Matty's walls!

It's usually a bit less than a month. And Kup, now you know what everyone was on about. Hopefully today was my second last time of having to put up with the white screen of death - the Royal Guards are allegedly the final non-subscription toys, then I just can sit back and allow Matty to do all the work next year.
