Mattel's New collectors site, MattyCollector.com goes Live at 11:00am P.S.T. on July 28, 2008! I don't know what to tell you folks! I interviewed one of the people who deals with MattyCollector.com and he told me 8:00am E.S.T. I went to him yesterday before leaving Comic-Con and he then tells me it is Noon E.S.T. Now, I go to the site and it states 11:00am P.S.T.
Matty has grown-up and is now your source for News updates, Collectibles and Vintage Toy Galleries! Membership is something we all like...FREE! Visit the link above and register to be part of a New age of Mattel collecting.
On July 28, 2008 you'll be able to purchase the four Comic-Con Exclusives...
1. Disney/Pixar's Cars Lightning Storm McQueen
2. DC Universe Classics Lobo
3. DC Universe Justice League Giganta
4. Masters of the Universe Classics King Grayskull
Something I've been a strong advocate for will be implemented on MattyCollector.com, Purchase Limits. Members will be able to purchase a maximum of 2 of each item. This will be great for collectors, and help keep dealers from buying up massive quantities.
After this initial release, expect New items in October. There will be NO New Cars items UNTIL February of 2009. The four main lines that will be featured on MattyCollector.com will be...
- Disney Pixar's Cars
- Masters of the Universe Classics
- Justice League Unlimited
- and DC Universe
Some other things you may like to know are...
- Items will not necessarily be "Limited Editions."
- Items released on MattyCollector.com will not appear in stores.
- Say you miss an item that had a run of 1000, Mattel may run another 1000 with a slight variation in packaging to give you a chance to get the item, but help hold collector value of the original with the variant.
- There may be a Membership for ongoing releases such as Masters of the Universe due to a monthly release.

You say you are an advocate for purchase limits, yet in another post earlier you state you bought a number of cases of Lightning Storm McQueen's from the San Diego Comic Con. What gives? Are you really a fan of limits, or do you just want others to have limits while you get to purchase as you please? Guess I am confused on this one.
First, nothing gives. Second, I'm all for limits, especially with online purchases where people with T-1 and T-2 lines can trump anyone and corner a release. Third, you have no idea what I plan on doing with what I bought, and frankly it's none of your business. Fourth, Mattel allowed people to purchase far more than I bought, and had there been a limit, I would have been absolutely fine with that. Finally, it would be good if you'd identify yourself when you post a comment.
