Stop being a cry baby,you got one. If you think it was such a dick move then don't buy it. Mcfarlane always drops at 9am or 12 noon. True collector knows that. Sometimes you win,sometimes you lose. But don't cry about it,it just a toy and you are a grown ass man.

Sorry company cuck, if you can get your head out of Todd's butt you'd see that sometimes even if you personally win, the collective loses and I'm not about that. You sounds like a selfish little baby who is just happy when he gets what he wants so you're probably cool with that, but I'll speak my mind about a BS tactic. Sorry if that hurts you're feelings.

Wait, the run for this is 2,000 units? I can't knock the company without knowing their situation, but it seems sorta dumb on their part to do such low runs because they are causing strife for fans and, more importantly for their business, leaving sales on the table. I understand creating a sense of FOMO and also whatever maybe-market-share-game they may be playing, but I'm guessing they could double (maybe triple) that amount and still be in a sell-out situation.

Also, I completely agree with the theory that Toddy Mac knowingly sold substandard versions (grey canopy) knowing that another run was coming. A company with better customer support and/or PR would have made good and offered a replacement part if not for free (that might be much), at a price that fits in line with the pricing of the vehicle. But then he probably pays a good amount of money to lock up that DC license domestically and he knows that fans/collectors/flippers will buy whatever is put out

I'll keep it real Mad; I come to your channel because you keep it real and thank you for holding the line calling out the BS with industry practices. Anyone who's ever worked at retail or manufacturing know exactly what you are shining a spotlight on here. You're an influencer and this is what you do to make the collecting community better, some folks are so embedded in their selfish nature that they can't see past their own shortcomings to even comprehend why you made this video even though you already made the purchase. I've been collecting McFarlane's stuff since the early 2000s' and when I say collecting, I mean I used to order by the cases when I had it like that, followed him right up until he lost his mind with those sports memorabilia lines, so I know his MO. To make a long story short I more than anyone else wanted to see his reemergence but he fell right back into making the same old mistakes. We were told yesterday for a very limited release today which does not pass the sniff test, lending credence to what was already suspected with the original release. Every company makes mistakes and without community feedback those mistakes would go unchallenged which leads to zero growth as an industry, so I thank you for the service of being that voice and I say keep up the Madhattery....peace!

Not knocking anyone who loves Toddy Mac's toy line (which for the price point is a good option for many), but I am glad that I have zero interest in the aesthetic and quality level of his toys. Mainly because it is one less thing for me to have to chase. That said, it is rough having the license for so many great characters tied up with a line that has no value to me. Thankfully there are some overseas options which are pricier but superior quality, IMO

Amen, Brother! Sadly, I missed out; but this cheered me up tremendously. A little empathy goes a long way. Sometimes it’s enough just knowing we’re not alone in this. Thank you for that. Stay gold!
I got it as soon as it dropped and I have both versions of the flash movie. We knew this was gonna happen. It sucks. Let’s be honest, he suckered us big time. Mcfarlane has always been like this. You know what was awesome. Playmates giving a release date for the TMNT movie figures. Gave us plenty of notice and it was such a simple toy hunt. We got what we wanted if we planned accordingly and all was right with the universe. I feel like I gotta jump through hoops to get some Neca and mcfarlane stuff.

I ordered the previous one, Amazon cancelled. I stopped getting mad and moved on and ordered the Hot Toys. I no longer stress myself getting McFarlane or Hasbro or WWe Elite figures. I moved on and basically quit those scales. NECA is no better, never really cancel, but I have other reasons.
The canopy was a mistake from the factory, too late (and too many) to change. It was supposed to be Black and yes, not only did they know they had 89 in the works (it was already tooled back then) but more "batmobile releases" coming.
between low volume and scalpers bro lol never had a chance
Glad you got one man. I was scared I wasn’t gonna be able to either but toyshiz always comes in clutch!
I managed to get one… if its not canceled… it was later open again for orders and again sold out- i wont sell the current one until i have this one Bad by McFarlane….but the price was fair.,,

Wait… it DOES look like the Christian Bale head! Also the canopy doesn’t even open like it’s supposed to do. Smaller scale vehicles from Jada have done it. The LEGO “UCS” also managed it. No excuse from McFarlane. Also the gas caps (taken from a London Bus) are completely absent. I never was entirely happy with the products from this company as I struggle to make each of the figure stand normally. The one time I was sold on it was the Arkham Knight Scarecrow and, even then, it has some mistakes. That Gold Label is only there to sell repaints. They did that with a Spawn using a Mortal Kombat 11 release and they made a shiny box… containing a cheap repaint.
Such a dick move from McF - I had this in basket and it refused to process my order saying it was unavailable even though the main item page kept showing it was in stock. Why the hell would you make the Batmobile everyone wants such a limited exclusive with no indication of what time its going on sale!
These purchase drops that all the compnies do now suck. Collecting should be fun. Forking out money upfront and waiting months to get the product is ludicrous...so why do we do it. We should be able to buy the product at a brick and mortar store or order it online and get it a few days later. Im done with these toy drops.

Glad you're calling McFarlane out on this even though you got one, there's way too much "got mine" attitude in the toy collector community. They knew the grey canopy wouldn't be liked, but did it anyway and made no mention of this new one. That's a scummy move. People are gonna say they're a company and exist to make money, but what, are we meant to excuse and accept anything a company does in the name of profit? What kind of world is that?

Amazon canceled my pre-order for the other Batmobile, and I didn't even see the posting for this one at all today.
We should all just stop buying the first product they put less effort on. And just wait til all the gold labels.
It seems Amazon was putting them back up on hourly rotation waves - there were people who stayed on who ordered 2 or 3 hours after the initial sell out. Amazon's biggest error imo was they didn't initially limit the quantity to purchase.
This is thw way of collecting these days. I'M OUT! It used to fun, it's now only paying a lot of plastic with a nostalgic feeling and waiting for it for 6 months until 1 year to have it. Where's the fubn in that. I say boycot this McFarlane and the scalpers by NOT buying there toys but a lot will so the circle is round and will be going and going until you get it.

Johnny exclusive strikes again!
I managed to get it right away… but my friend who was seconds after me didn’t… Absolutely shit.
Yeah it sold out in seconds. I went to share it with my friend. I went back and it was sold out. Told don't want peoples money. Just make enough.
If other rival companies were smart they'd make their own versions if they already have the DC license and let fans know ahead of time. I get stuff from TOTS and they do the same shit they just randomly drop stuff then it sells out preorder....so annoying. I knew this batmobioe was epic but i have to admit didnt expect it to be quite this difficult to get this thing lol 😅 😠
The funny thing is, you would think the gray canopy would be gold label since almost every time they do a gold label or a special edition platinum label. It’s always gray. You should make a video of you, shoving a bunch of fireworks into the gray one and blowing it up. You will go viral and gets so many subscribers and probably Todd’s ear. Lol don’t destroy toys unless it’s from passion.
The thing that gets me is that companies still make d*** moves like this on PREORDERS! Meaning it hasn't gone into production yet and the company can determine exactly how many units to make based on the number of preorder units sold. So isn't it win-win to keep preorders up for, i don't know, at least a week? Fans happy. More units sold. Still generates heat. More money for Company. Right? What am I missing here? lol

I got my one preorder in so quickly that they hadn't even added the photos of the Batmobile & Batman to the thumbnail. It just said Mcfarlane Toys. After I got my order in I refreshed it and the pictures were there. 5 minutes later and it was sold out already. The first time I was ever able to preorder one of his Amazon Exclusives before they sold out. This alone makes up for all the others I missed.
Now we need a top ten list at the end of the year of the biggest dick moves by toy companies!
I’m pretty much over this shit man. I’ve never seen that batman figure or that batmobile anywhere. Online or brick and mortar. Hard to tell if it’s Mcfarlane just not making enough, or if people are just that shitty and are eliminating the stock in seconds across the board. It’s really annoying that I’m annoyed about it lol. Fuck.
McFarlane could have done this Batmobile in the first place but chose not to. There's no need for that. The '89 Batman figure could have just been a single release. It is a dick move. I'm not even going to bother with this one. I don't support McFarlane, screw that.
It went back up a few more times but only was available for about a minute each before selling out again.
This was the worst preorder process ever. I am done with McFarlane at this point

I can't see a KZreadr with any sort of following that wouldn't get that 99.9% impossible to get item. I didn't even know this was a thing until I saw your video the day before, so next day I was up early and kept typing in "McFarlane Batmobile/gold label." Apparently I was too ignorant with not realizing it was going up at 12...and I guess I took a couple minutes break around that time, so poof, it was gone when I found it right after 12. I tried to get the previous, but that was an absolute no-go. I mean this is the one I've been wanting since 10 y/o me in 1990. But, ya know...can't get a chance to win a Batmobile all the time lol; and by win, I mean the simple act of pre-ordering something.

Instead of people buying that one off scalpers.. like people needed to stop feeding the scalpers yesterday, I want people reading this comment to not buy this or the previous Batmobile from scalpers, to buy them for retail or less, to make it so the scalpers have no choice but to sell them for retail price or less! We can control what we buy and can decide how much we pay for it. I'm not for a second saying McFarlane have handled this well, but when that Batmobile you were going to buy ends up on eBay from some greedy toad for double, triple the price, you don't reward the greed of the thief , you buy it for the price it should be , you make them sell it for what it should be.
