Hordak Drops Today
Today’s the day, folks. Today we find out whether or not the subscription service lightens the load over at www.mattycollector.com as Hordak goes live at noon EST (11 am for those of us in the central time zone).
Even though he’s a villain, I’m gonna pass this time around. Hordak looks just fine, but until Webstor hits in September I’m going to hold off on any new releases in this line.
It certainly didn’t lighten the load on the servers. They still crashed at a few minutes before noon and didn’t come back up until about 12:30. Then, Hordak was available for only 30 minutes before he was sold out. Mattel just can’t get a grip on this line. They seem totally overwhelmed.
I don’t know if they “crashed” in the technical sense. But it was a real pain to get Hordak. I keep waiting for the subscription service to start because it shouldn’t be such a hassle to buy toys.
I got mine, no muss, no fuss. I was surprised – Hordak is the first figure I ordered. Now if I can just trade one for a King Greyskull…
