Do we have any idea of how many OAMCC they produced? Hard to believe they spend so much money on a unique mold/parts for him, and he'd be one and done. Not sure how they determine if another run of a figure is worth making.

About Mindbender numbers which I believe was speculated to be about 12k-16k

I fully expect some sort of second release because of the tooling.

This OAMCC thing is making me irrationally angry. I really don't like Cobra-La in the movie. But the OAMCC figure and Nemesis Immortal look so f'ing great as figures that I was really excited to get them. I'm still going to get NI because that figure is just amazing and I can make my own head canon for him. But I think I'm out on any other Cobra-La characters now.

I should know better, especially since I got Serpentor and MOD Zartan via official Pulse restocks, but something about this (probably the limit 5 nonsense) has really left a sour taste in my mouth.

However, this is all easy for me to say because I got my order in.

One way to maybe think about it though... does your negative experience with ordering this one figure outweigh any positive experience you may have had with every figure up to this point and every figure after?

Whilst I agree that ‘selling the collection’ is a knee-jerk reaction (and likely just a venting of the spleen), the way this was handled is definitely deeply frustrating for many collectors (myself included).

Personally, this represents the peak frustration I have experienced while collecting Classified. I’m certainly disappointed that, despite doing everything I could, I wasn’t able to complete the checkout in time, but I am mainly frustrated by how badly the whole thing was organized. If you attended the con, you could only buy 1 CC, so why the hell would you have a limit of 5 on Pulse???

The Target Cobra Island debacle was also annoying, but, it was Target, so dealing with exclusive toys is hardly a priority for them. Pulse, on the other hand, makes a big deal about ‘Early access to exclusives for Premium members’. It is a big part of their pitch to sell memberships. Memberships which cost money. They should definitely have known how to handle this better.

That's right, especially Chuckles who was up for hours following the Premium slot.

Count me among those who missed out on CC today. I was busy dealing with the Hurricane, coworker emails and family. Priorities you know...

Hopefully I can catch him on a potential restock.

Chuckles was up the following day. Mindbender lasted a while each time he was up. Serpentor is the only one I missed the first time because I slept an hour past non-premium. lol

Like has been said, OAMCC will come up again, just like every other figure, just need to be patient, i mean freaking Chuckles was up more times than i could remember, Mindbender was up a few times and i think Serpentor was up 2 or 3 times.

It’s odd cause I got the email for premium members at 1:05, clicked on the icon, pulled up the page and it kept showing In Stock but the order button was Sold Out so I couldn’t add it to cart. Kept refreshing until it eventually said Out of Stock. I wonder if this is a computer glitch or bug.

Based the how terrible the rest of the site is.. it's a bug.

Can always resort to eBay especially once these ship because there is zero reason to have more than one of these figures unless a second one to be kept sealed.
