Mattel Disney Pixar CARS 2 Diecast: SDCC Mater One More Chance & Unboxing
MattyCollector.com has some SDCC Mater left over for the post Comic Con sale.
Starts at 9 AM PACIFIC TIME this morning – July 23, 2012.
When you get your SDCC Mater or decide how to display, here are some things to keep in mind.
Like the last Mattel SDCC release, the cover is not acrylic but just plastic but here’s where it gets weird. You would expect maybe a screw or two to hold it in place but instead there’s a flap at the bottom of the plastic cover and that flap is actually tucked between the stand and a base plate underneath and then held down by 6 screws.
But you have to be extra careful when you turn it over to remove it. The components of the unit will fall out of place and good luck getting it all back together. If you’re a skilled & handy, no problem but some of you might consider placing the unit in a vise (not too tightly) after turning it over.
The screw holding Mater to the unit is underneath the battery pack so move that carefully and note exactly where it goes and what it holds in place.
Liberating Mater is not difficult, the difficulty is making sure nothing else moves so you can reassemble the mechanism to work correctly.

Shoot my Mater alarm did not go off this morning… missed out on getting on from Matty 🙁
WOW! Sold out already!!
I finished my purchase about 10 minutes ago. I am now a proud owner of a SDCC Suds Mater! 😀
Well it took about 20 minutes of staring at Matty’s big stupid head waiting to get on the site but I think my order went through. Still waiting on the confirmation email, not sure how long that will take.
Got mine a couple of minutes after placing the order. About 15 minutes ago.
Got mine too finally. I see that 2 of the 3 items I bought are now sold out so I’m glad I didn’t wait to place my order.
Collector Mom, you said it!
Mattys Big stupid head! I was sick of looking at him too.
Absolutely hate dealing with Digital River.
(MET: So, I guess Error Number: SIT_000002 means sold out?)
Just ordered mine. $38.50 w/ shipping. Hope it works when it gets here.
How many did Mattel make of this exclusive?
I called it. I had no doubt “SOLD OUT” was a misnomer.
Yup. I thought the “sold out” was referring to the pre-orders, I was pretty sure they’d have a bunch left over like they do every year.
