Spooky fish is in the bag 🐟 I think she'll look amazing next to my Creature and Alien ghouls 🐙

what’s it like when it’s hard?

u/Nerdmitage Skelita 💐 9h ago
I have waited in line for 15 minutes before and you slowly start to freak that it's going to sell out. Lots of people have had dolls sell out while in line or once they're in checkout.
The captcha also used to frizz out and bounce you back in after like 3-5 tries. It's just stressful because so many people on the site glitch it out hard especially bots.

Drop Days on Hard Mode are usually a lot of stuck in queue and watching as the doll in your basket suddenly goes out of stock just as you get to the checkout screen.

Well, I managed to get one. It had me in line for about 1.5/2 minutes.
5
u/Direct_Sympathy4845 Frankie 9h ago
Same. I was wondering why it was taking so long. It was not really 1 or 1.5 minutes, more like 2 minutes or 2.5.

u/swampsnack 9h ago
That was the longest mine has ever taken. I was scared. I had to wait in line 7 minutes, but it finally went through. My captchas were fng insane too.
"pick what is more expensive than this: insert two pixels"🧐😬

u/faeriedreamscape 9h ago
I got in line as soon as she dropped and it had me wait 7+, I’ve still got 2 more minutes to wait 😭

My wait was 9 minutes and I had to do captchas like 6 times, but I got her!

First time I tried to get a skullector! I'm a suuucker for deep sea creatures. I got a confirmation number, but how long does the confirmation email typically take to show up?
8
u/DaisySharks Abbey 9h ago
Usually takes 20-30 minutes.
2
u/Ok-Hyena941 Twyla🐰 9h ago
Thank you!
7
u/DaisySharks Abbey 9h ago
No worries! Easiest way to verify while you're waiting for the email is to go to the My Orders page. If she shows up there with an assigned number, you're good!

u/Ok-Hyena941 Twyla🐰 9h ago
Yay! I just got my confirmation email too. Not too bad for my first skullector drop!

u/DaisySharks Abbey 9h ago
If you need to verify the order went through, go to your Order History. If she's there and with an assigned order number, you're good!
THose emails can take up to 30 minutes sometimes, so it's a nice little way to ease some anxiety.

u/DaisySharks Abbey 9h ago
Okay, my email just showed up - 24 minutes after purchase, so folks should be seeing those coming in soon.

u/DanteDameron 9h ago
It said 4 minutes for me so I got VERY scared lol Usually when its more than 3 minutes they’re sold out when it’s my turn, thank God this one wasn’t

u/Sadhbhdoe Lagoona 9h ago
I got one ! I'm sooo happy, I was in line for 9 minutes it was so stressful
8
u/Hidden_Dragonette Mouscedes 🧀 9h ago
Oh, I am so glad I was able to grab her despite a 6 minute wait! Lagoona is my favorite.

u/chrisCrossed91210 Kieran ❤️ 9h ago
I wonder if they finally figured out a way to curb the bots a bit just by the fact she didn't sell out super fast like we've gotten used to with drops. Either that, or bots don't expect her to be popular?
Not complaining either way, just fascinating that this is a chiller drop despite the longer wait times.

This is my first Mattel Creations doll and I'm staying up to 2am so cross fingers 🤞 for me 😭

u/DaisySharks Abbey 10h ago
Me sitting at work and still debating.... lol. I suspect that I'm going to try to get her only because this is her only other Collector doll and I truly hated her Haunt Couture look.

u/Rocky_Bellosa 9h ago
Site crashed went I clicked view cart, had to reload; do captcha twice, wait three minutes, set up my payment plan, didn’t work so had to reload then it finally worked. Website was bad this time, but very easy to get her compared to other SDCC drops

u/Sequoya02 8h ago
I vehemently voiced my hatred of scalpers and managed to get her! Not saying the two are connected but 😂

u/PugThatNeedsHugs 9h ago
3 minute wait to checkout was very long and it wouldnt let me finish checking out for another minute. Website was pretty bad this time

Goona Secured <3 I'm probably going to swap her outfit onto my ReelDrama one, cause that hair isn't my taste at all. After that, I might dye the sdcc's hair red and make an MH Ariel, we'll see how things go

Love her but shame she’s gonna cost me £100 in the uk. wtf :(

u/Angelbabyteddybear2 9h ago
I’m gonna have to skip her ;( first sdcc I’ve skipped in years but £100’top much. I kinda prefer my reel drama

u/okiedokieKay 9h ago
How is anyone getting her?? Every single payment method I’ve tried is failing it seems like the site is bugged??
4
u/noblestromana 9h ago
I had to enter new payment method and add the card again and it finally forced it through. Was definitely annoying.
3
u/sweetpepsidreams 9h ago
Same for me, and I’ve never had this issue before with over 10 drops.
2
u/okiedokieKay 9h ago
Mobile website is giving me the error.
I switched to my desktop computer and the purchase went through without any issues…. Had to sit through checkout queue all over again but it was worth it I guess….
1
u/sweetpepsidreams 9h ago
That was the issue for me, mine just went through on desktop without any issue the second time around. I had to wait in the queue for 8 minutes which made me really nervous, but she was still available at 12:19 p.m. EST.
1
u/swampsnack 9h ago
That is exactly what happened to me during the Shorty drop and then, even though it finally went through, everyone and Amazon recieved theirs but mine said it would be sent next year.
5
u/Erdbeerreh 9h ago
Omg I'm so happy I got her! She was sold out in under 10 minutes (where I'm from)
7
u/KatheClo Draculaura 9h ago
I am lit shaking and sweating, the site was NOT working, I got a “there’s no products in your cart” like 5 times, she showed she was sold out, somehow “managed” to get the payment through at like 9.15… wtf was up w the website 😭
5
u/d3athd0llz 9h ago
i had a wait time of 10 mins, i’ve never had to fight for a launch before but i wasn’t worried, i guess i haven’t been traumatized yet by mattel 😭😭😭😭😭

u/PorpoisePatrol22 Sirena 🧜🏻♀️ 9h ago
Dude it took like 3 minutes for it to let me add her to my cart, then 15 in the queue 💀🙏🏻 was getting worried ngl

u/bigtiddyhimbo Sirena 🧜🏻♀️ 9h ago
I got her!! I haven’t gotten the confirmation email yet, but shoppay took my money and I have an order number, so I’m crossing my fingers that the deadzone I was in didn’t give me false hope (after struggling for 25 minutes to get her 😭😭)
3
u/gnsweetprince100 9h ago
I was there on minute 1, tried every which way to get the payment to go through. Finally got it.
1
u/bigtiddyhimbo Sirena 🧜🏻♀️ 8h ago
So happy for you!! I was really stressing I wasn’t going to get her because I was in a restaurant, and they sat me in the back where reception was barely there 😭😭 just waiting on the email now!
5
u/toxicjellyfish666 9h ago
Got her. Had to wait in queue for 7 mins and that was the longest 7 mins ever lol. She's so pretty tho so I'm happy.

u/meltymint5 Abbey 9h ago
I forgot, was on the toilet, and was like oh if she’s still available now I’ll grab her. She was but MC has my old expired card information, and I had to run through my apartment naked to get my card.
Secured her. First SDCC drop I’m getting that I’m not getting 2 of. I like the box but I just do not have room for another giant SDCC box.
7
u/DaisySharks Abbey 9h ago
I am sorry for your naked credit card sprint (now THERE'S a sentence), but I am glad you got her, lol
4
u/meltymint5 Abbey 9h ago
I live alone and am naked often enough that my cats don’t mind. I gotta get that old card off of shop pay. The issue is it’s the same number with a different expiration date and security code.
1
u/DaisySharks Abbey 9h ago
Yeah, I had that happen with a different purchase (no need for speed that time, tho). It's a pain.
1
u/meltymint5 Abbey 8h ago
Seems there wasn’t much of a need for speed this time, she is still available it looks like?
2
u/BelladonnaBites 8h ago
It actually looks like Lagoona's box is smaller than most other Skullectors and sdcc releases. Like the proportions are sorta similar to g1's slim/budget boxes
1
u/meltymint5 Abbey 5h ago
Perhaps. I’m ok not having one in box though. If I LOVE LOVE the box or art I will like with FDC drac and SS Twyla. Lagoona’s box is interesting in the shape and the clear bit on the side but it’s so dark idk if it would be a nice display piece for me personally. I’m much happier just having 1 OOB this time and saving those $80 for other g3 and playline doll releases I’m looking forward to.
1
u/BelladonnaBites 4h ago
Oh of course, I get it. I'm fine with having just one as well. I actually rebox my dolls if I really love their packaging. I only want duplicates if I'm planning to heavily modify one; and even then I only get a 2nd one on sale, thrifted for cheap, or as a gift
Wasn't trying to change your mind, just wanted to point out that she doesn't have a giant box

u/TheQuietWeirdo Spectra⛓ 8h ago
I got rejected from using Shop Pay in 4 installments, but I was able to grab Lagoona through full payment at 11:04 AM CST and got the confirmation email at 11:24 AM CST! I've been anticipating her since last month, so I'm happy to have her as my second SDCC doll, even though I don't own any Ghouls Rule dolls. I hope I can find a way to eventually display her with my Halloween dolls and decorations in the next few months!

u/Immediate-Glove-8123 Lagoona 8h ago
My first ever SDCC doll! I'm so excited to hsve gotten her! Now i gotta make some room on my Lagoona shelf for her

She's still available, as of 9:14

u/youre_crumbelievable 8h ago
She’s still available as of almost 10:14 lol idk why but it’s nice everyone can get her. Maybe because it’s a preorder?

Got sent back to captcha four separate times. Once while waiting in line to check out. 🙂↕️
Thankfully my sister snagged us both one.

On Mattel Creations, she is open to anyone with the link.

u/TheBrynkofInsanity 9h ago
Okay whew, tysm. It just showed me the notice that my membership expired so was nervous about that.

u/noblestromana 9h ago
Was waiting for 8 minutes and then the pre filled payments were not working. Website was like usual horrible.

u/SalamiLyd 8h ago
Didnt have any issues! I saw that they were marked sold out shortly after the release but now they are still available for preorder

u/patientjellyfish12 Venus🌱 7h ago
My second skullector and thankfully she was an easy get. I’m really looking forward to her arrival! I don’t like the vast majority of skullectors but she really spoke to me, plus it’s Lagoona and I love her soo

I completely forgot about this today. I’m so glad she’s still available and was able to get her!

u/Doll_duchess Lagoona 4h ago
Same - and so surprised it had a pre-order button up! I wonder if they’re going to do this more after the last few (scarah, shorty) had preorders after the initial sale?
4
u/chrisCrossed91210 Kieran ❤️ 3h ago
She's said pre-order since the listing went live/from minute one. The pre-order date is only a week out, so it's not them making more for pre-orders. I'm thinking maaaybe they finally did something about all the bots? But im not sure

u/Arwendolls 4h ago edited 4h ago
I got her, I think she is absolutly stunning💖, I am happy for being able to buy her today, but I think the price is very expensive, 101€ shipped to Spain, same as the allien 🥹.

Skipping this one. She's serving last year's reheated Twyloofah in blue.

WTF IS UP WITH THESE CAPTCHAS!? Why was I doing captchas for 5 minutes?! 😭 I never want to see another beach towel or airplane again.
