Masters of the Universe Classics - Mer-Man Sold out!

That's right folks, the runaway success of the now 6 month old Masters of the Universe Classics internet-only line by Mattel continues with the categorical sellout of Mer-Man in 1.5 hours today! They explained on their site that they have, in an effort to meet the obviously increased demand, increased their order from Big Chinese Toy Making Factory but that this is the first month of the greater numbers, and boat #2 is still on the way! So, they assured everyone who maybe had something better to do between the hours of noon and 1:30 today that another round of Mer-Man will be available on or around April 23rd. This is particularly delightful news for those of us here at the Preserve who managed, in spite of posting the alert on this very site, to fail to place our order successfully!

Making matters worse, many people over on the busy he-man.org forums report serious troubles with the site, resulting in placing multiple orders, or no orders at all, and watching the clock run out in record time. Let me assure you, there are many unkind words on the Internets this night. However, overall, some vocal board members aside, it is still great to see the amazing demand for this line which will only result in more great figures and greater ability for the 4Horsemen to produce cool new parts. Let's hope that boat #2 has enough fun for everyone, and that going forward the supply at least comes close to meeting the demand!
