McFarlane DC Multiverse

EE is showing the variant red suit Joker as included in the mix even for the single release listing. Oh no...
Well, dang. Can't rest easy just yet, then, I guess. I'd rather have the pink suit than nothing, but the screen-accurate (or I guess comic accurate in this case) look is my preferred choice. I've only gotten the platinum version once or twice on a buy like that, but on the off chance I hit #3, I suppose I could always trade him.

I got clobbered with Green suit/in transition Sinestro, which is when I learned to order 2-3 of anything I really want from Todd. Thankfully it was an actual Platinum that grew on me and I kept. Whereas I got stuck with 7 normal Silver Age Two-Face's in an effort to get the black and white suited Platinum version which I had to get from Ebay anyway!
 
  • Went to Amazon to order Joker first, already sold out.
  • Went Walmart next to order Joker, order placed, but I don’t trust Walmart.
  • Went to BBTS, managed to get Joker, Vigilante, and Freddy in my cart after many attempts, but then the site starts crashing.
  • EE goes up a little later, so got Joker, Vigilante, and Freddy in my cart and checked out, no issues.
  • Back to BBTS, since it is my preferred choice. Finally got my order submitted, but confirmation page fails and I receive no email.
  • A battle of the ages ensues just to get to my order history page to show.
  • Finally get there and it says the order is processing, but I can’t see the order contents, so that is concerning.
  • I keep refreshing Order History while trying to place another order, just in case.
  • After what seems like forever, the site comes back to life. Joker is sold out, but I add Vigilante and Freddy to my cart.
  • When I go to check out, BBTS says one per customer and I already ordered. This seems bad if my other order doesn’t go through, so I go back to order history and the order finally shows up! And I have an email now.
Not to speak for the rest of you, but I think we are all insane…. It could just be me though…
 
Are Joker and Canary shipping in solid cases which is why EE doesn't have a case assortment for them? I really want both Canarys.
 
I got Canary and Supergirl at EE. Added a ML I had on preorder somewhere else to get free shipping otherwise shipping is ridiculous. Just cancelled that preorder on the other site after.

Silver Age Supergirl usually has a blue skirt.

This reads like you're repeating it on a therapist's couch. Wonder why BBTS limited you to one, it said max 2 when I went. The confirmation lagged for a bit but I had already moved on to other sites to secure backup orders. Only 9 more months of this!
 
I might have one additional Joker - I ordered one at Walmart then managed to get a second at BBTS through the awful lag. I’m skeptical about Walmart coming through after also having my Flash cancelled, but if they do, anyone who didn’t get a Joker can have my extra for cost.
 
Got the four I wanted at MTS with a decent discount. Shipping included. I’ll check BBTS for the Platinums. Not paying $100.00+ for Platinum Canary.
 
For the crappy kid toys we probably won’t see any issues, but the collectors grade is a different story. My wife collects MONSTER HIGH and BARBIE, and obtaining the collectors figures is much worse than anything I’ve experienced with McFarlane. We’ve seen dolls sell out in under two minutes with no other options but going to scalpertown on ebay.
 
And you think Mattel will be better? LOL
You're also assuming I plan to follow into that line and rebuy numerous DC characters when I already own the McFarlane versions. I've already said on multiple occasions that I don't plan to. So for me personally, when Todd's done I'm largely out of the majority of DC stuff unless it's some sort of epic import figure.
 
Grabbed Joker and Damian Batman preorders from Gamestop. Free shipping was nice. Don't know if I need Sky Escape Joker as I have the original, but I'd probably keep it if it showed up (and grumble about having to search for a proper Joker). Really was hoping for Museum Joker or Mime Joker, as those are pretty easy variants from the movie. Hope they still show up before the end...

Mattel will almost certainly have their own issues, but I'll certainly be happy to be off this McFarlane train. I wish that they had never gotten the license to begin with, and that's coming from someone who has still bought at least one version of every character that they've made because I just love the IP so much.
