    I live in Germany and fortunately I could order this figure. I am so sorry for people in other countries that couldn't order it. This is really fucked up. It's sold out now btw.

    I´m from Mexico and we got screwed also... Canada is on the list and we are not, WTF!!!.... This might sound dramatic but, Mattel is going to lose a lot of customers, like I said, it sounds super dramatic and chaotic but let's face it, it's going to happen... Cheers my friend!

      Because it's not made to order. Instead you're ordering from an already commissioned consigment before the stock arrives at Mattel's warehouse.

    I could not order Rokkon from my country, even with VPN. The situation with MOTU Origins release schedule gets worse by each figure. Seems like they are all into the Turtles Of Grayskull and Cartoon line, and ignores their loyal customers by not delivering the remaining OG figures for the Origins line. I can only imagine this trend gets even worse, with high anticipated figures like Sy-Klone and Extendar, Two-Bad etc.

    I managed to order 3 in the UK for myself and two friends. Even though the message about issues was still on the front page, I still managed to log in, place my order and have it confirmed after 5pm GMT. I'd actually forgotten about the time and it was only after I saw the email saying it was live a few minutes past 5, I jumped onto the PC to place the order.

  • @SecretOfMonkeyIsland784
    @SecretOfMonkeyIsland784 6 місяців тому +1

    This figure was a pass for me, even scalpers will struggle to sell these on ebay (Not because they are undesirable) but because the £9 ($11) p&p charge and eBays 13% fee make this overpriced even when its listed at break even price. I can see from previous UK sales that: Fang-or, Lady Slither, Frog Monger, Wun-Dar barely break even on cost price when sold on eBay (Ignore the initial 1st month listings we are talking once the hype has died down).

    Step back & watch the news in America. Go look up how America treats it's employees. Learn about America & you will start to understand. I was born & raised in America & I am 100% *DISGUSTED* with this country. Apathy has been taken to the maximum extreme. Everything is completely broken & dysfunctional here. Most companies & government offices DO NOT even answer the phone anymore. You cannot speak to a human being anymore. You cannot even ask a simple question. Everybody is frustrated, stressed out, burnt out & pissed off. All of these huge American corporations are rotten & evil to the core.

    This said unable to ship to UK when I logged on 2 hours before the live release so if it suddenly changed screw it. No idea why a mere 2 hours later it did ship to Uk, better things to do with life. But again who runs these companies, that mere commercials or supply and demand elude them. They have the world at their feet but couldn’t find a way to ship product (pathetic)

      The communication on this was poor, with the technical team, forum communication manager and social media poster not always in sync and no announcement email sent. The result was the announcement about a handful of other countries was made in comments on social media posts even before the technical team had amended the banners on the site so it was very uncertain what we could do.
