5/30 SDCC Voucher Pre-Sale

May 25, 2012

Toy Fans,

SDCC is right around the corner and, as we’ve done since 2010, we’re going to offer a limited amount of products to be pre-ordered here at MattyCollector.com for pick-up at San Diego Comic-Con. It’s first-come, first-served and there are no promises you’ll be able to purchase a voucher for every product. But once you’ve got your voucher, you’re guaranteed to get everything at SDCC!

Here’s how the voucher pre-sale works (please read carefully, because there are important limitations):

Be here at MattyCollector.com on Wednesday May 30th at 9 a.m. PT (noon ET).
Choose the items you want and add them to your cart. There’s a purchase limit of 6 units per person per product, on all products.
Your credit card will be charged and a confirmation email (voucher) will be sent.
To redeem your voucher for the specified products, you must present a printout of the email confirming your order (voucher), along with a photo ID, your 2012 San Diego Comic-Con badge, and the credit card used for this transaction in person on Thursday July 12th, Friday July 13th, or Saturday July 14th from 7 AM – 11 AM or 3 PM – 7 PM in the Torrey Pines room at the Marriot San Diego Hotel and Marina, which is just next door to (and connected to) the San Diego Convention Center.
If you’re only attending San Diego Comic-Con on Sunday July 15th, this option is not available to you.
If you don’t pick up your product by the end of the show on Saturday July 14th, 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.
The voucher pre-sale ends June 14th at 11:59pm PT, however product is subject to availability so shop early for best selection.
All sales are final. There are NO REFUNDS so be sure you can personally pick up your purchase(s) at SDCC no later than Saturday July 14th.
Products cannot be shipped. This option is for pick up at SDCC only, and only available to SDCC attendees (badges will be required).
Now that that’s out of the way, on to the fun stuff! Here’s this year’s list of products created just for SDCC and available for order during the voucher pre-sale:

Masters of the Universe® Classics Vykron™ (Barbarian)
Bruce Wayne to Batman™ The Dark Knight Rises™ Movie Masters® Figure
DC Universe Tiny Titans
DC Universe DC Comics Vertigo™ Death
DC Universe Polly Pocket® DC Comics Villains Set
Disney • Pixar Cars 2012 Comic-Con Mater
Ghostbusters™ Zuul gatekeeper of Gozer
Hot Wheels® Scooby-Doo!™ THE MYSTERY MACHINE
Hot Wheels® K.I.T.T. Knight Industries Two Thousand
Monster High® Scarah Screams™ Doll
The voucher pre-sale is the best way to guarantee you get all your most-wanted items, but if you miss this sale or the product you want is sold out for pre-sale, all of them will be available for purchase at our booth at SDCC on a first-come, first-served basis.

Not going to SDCC? We’ll have limited quantities of some items available here at MattyCollector.com on Monday, July 23rd at 9 a.m. PT (noon ET). We're still working out the final list of available items but we'll definitely have Vykron™ packed in either spaceman or military warrior garb.

That's everything for now! Remember, the sale starts Wednesday, May 30th at 9 a.m. PT (12 noon ET). Want an email reminder? Click here to register. Or, join me on Facebook, Twitter and in our Fan Forums and you'll get reminders there, too.

I'm not going but I'd like to get Vykron, Death, and maybe the Polly Pockets.

 

[SwampYack]

I need that Monster high exclusive for my daughter. But SDCC is a pipe dream.

Mattel always sells their SDCC exclusives on mattycollector about a week or two after the show so don't worry if you're not attending the show.

 

[Boba Ben]

Aren't some of the exclusives only available at the convention? I remember some of the smaller stuff not being sold on Mattycollector after the show. The heavy hitters like the DCU and MOTUC stuff were there, though.

I hope they have some Monster High exclusives available after the convention so you can pick one up for your daughter, SwampYak.

i dont think it was exclusive only at the con. i think what happened is some products were sold out from the high demand at the con. i dont remember if the MOTUC Queen was available on mattycollector after the show though.

 

[The Josh]

No, like most everyone they will have the exclusives on their site. Nothing from Marty for me this year.

 

[Kuzeh]

I just ordered Vykron and Dana/Zuul, save on Matty's outragoues shipping charges!!

 

[mikedanger]

order placed

that was easy

Trying to pick your pre-orders last year was a nightmare. I waited almost two freaking hours just to get my stuff!
I hope Mattel gets their _____ together this year!

no kidding...when i got there i didn't think it would be all that bad...the line wasn't THAT long but it just moved at a snail's pace for some reason

 

[jasong888]

when did you all go pick up?

They had Marlena and the heavy hitters after the convention, but I thought there was some of the minor stuff like Hot Wheels items and such that didn't show up on the site after the convention. I could be wrong, though, since I only wanted the MOTUC and DCU stuff and they had plenty of that.

 

[Buttmunch]

No reason to order these to pick up this year IMO. No con-only exclusive items. You can just get them on Matty later or even later in the con when the hype and lines die down. Last year I could literally walk up to the window and get a Swamp Thing if I wanted to after the first few days. Wish Hasbro was like that at any point.

Have the Hasbro exclusives been shown/announced yet?

I saw their MLP one.

Any board members start an SDCC exclusive thread yet? I.e. Josh

Mattel's pick-up process is a joke. Last year, I was about the 5th person in line on Saturday morning. They opened their doors on time, but they spent at least 10 minutes to fill each person's order.

Once I got into the room where Mattel keeps their stock, I saw about 10 people moving around, but not actually filling orders. You would think that for all the activity in that room, they would actually be getting people out the door within a couple of minutes. One person gathered the items for my order, while another verified my receipt. I don't know what the other 8 people were doing. So for being fifth in line, it took me about 50 minutes to get out of there.

Incidentally, I walked up to the Hasbro booth in the afternoon and bought items without a voucher/ticket. If I recall correctly, you could also do the same at the Mattel booth.

I'm not preordering this year. It's faster to just walk up to the booths and make your purchase.

I've been lucky... never had many issues picking up stuff...
