I just thought I'd start this thread before the madness that will ensue in the next few days at the San Diego Comic Con.

so what's the detail on the distribution? I haven't been keeping up...
Me and my son are going on Sunday. I'm guessing we should try and head to the booth first thing...not sure how much line waiting Michael will want to do...esp for a toy that he just about ignores at this point... |

I hope they're prepared for the deluge of orders people are going to be making that morning. I hope their servers can handle it.
Edit: J, I think they heard you. LSM now says you must be 18 to order.

I can't wait to see pictures of more Cars. Can somebody please let me know what time the Mattycollector site will open (Pacific Time) so I can set my alarm? |

These are harder to get than I thought. My uncle was in line for over an hour yesterday and over an hour today with no luck. Sold out both times. He said they
are probably limiting how many are sold each day.
Hopefully others here had better luck. I am totally bummed. |

Line at Mattel Booth very frustrating | #10 | ||
|
I was in line at 9:30a this morning. Then Mattel closed the line and left about 200 of us out in the cold. I checked back every hour and noticed that people
were barely moving. Then at about 1:00p they started a 3rd line and I made it to within 10 people of the cash register when they ran out of mcqueens.
Incidenly when I was almost to the cash register I asked a guy in line next to me how long he had been in line. He answered 4 hours!
My observations: 1) Mattel was not prepared to sell product. They only had two cashiers and the line control was totally out of control 2) They let people buy multiple cases of mcqueens early on. I saw some guys leaving with carts of 10 cases. 3) They had at least 10 people standing around in the booth that were just talking to other Mattel employees. These people could have been put to better use in monitoring the lines and keeping customers happy. 4) at 10:30a when they shut down the first line they simultaneously started a second line. However, they did not tell anybody in the first line about this new line so we were all left out in the cold. Hope somebody had a good experience, because mine was horrible. |

Wow, the variety in these continues to amaze. I'm quite relieved I'm not collecting that line as well. I'd be bankrupted in no time! And great
pictures, sir!
