Mattel Creations

Set up Shopify → preload for Mattel Creations, including profiles, captcha solving and RLC membership in Stellar 4.0.

Mattel Creations runs through the Shopify module in Stellar 4.0. There is no separate Mattel task module. For the standard US setup, choose preload and Site → Creations Mattel. Follow newer Mattel release announcements whenever they differ from this general walkthrough.

Video Guide

The video below covers Stellar AIO 4.0. Written guides are updated faster than videos and take priority if any instructions differ.

Quick Start: Recommended Setup

1. Prepare a Mattel account and a profile using its email. Check whether the release requires RLC membership.
2. Prepare proxies and captcha solving. Get the exact product input and release time.
3. Create a Shopify task group, choose preload and confirm Site is Creations Mattel.
4. Use the account/profile setup below. Review Add Membership, quantity and Price Check; keep Endless off for a first setup.
5. Open the necessary captcha harvesters, start at the recommended time and watch the task status.

Preliminary Checklist

• Create or verify your Mattel account and check whether it already has the RLC membership required for the product.
• Save a Stellar profile with accurate billing, shipping and payment details. Its email must belong to the Mattel account you intend to use.
• Prepare tested ISP or residential proxy groups. Use more than one provider or pool where practical; performance can change during a busy release.
• Get the exact product URL, release time and quantity limit from Mattel, current Stellar announcements or your cook group.
• Prepare your captcha provider. If using Bot, open your Captcha Harvesters before the release and keep Chrome installed.
• Test the setup in advance where possible. A checkout task can place a real order, so test only with an item you actually intend to purchase.

Accounts & Sessions

Account and profile setup

For the existing standard Mattel setup, leave Account blank in the task and make sure the selected profile’s email belongs to your Mattel account. You do not need to create or select a general Shopify account entry just because Mattel uses the Shopify module. Account is the current field name; older screenshots called it Session.

The current form has OTP Input rather than the old IMAP Session selector. Leave OTP Input unselected for this standard setup unless current release instructions call for email verification. Its available choices are IMAP, Manual and AYCD; configure the chosen method before using it.

How Add Membership works

Some Hot Wheels releases require an active RLC membership. Check the account’s membership status before the drop.

• Already has the required membership: leave Add Membership? off.
• Needs membership for this product: enable Add Membership? so Stellar can attempt to include the membership during checkout.
• Product does not require membership: leave it off unless current release instructions say otherwise.

Creating or starting the task does not immediately buy the membership. Stellar attempts to purchase it when the task reaches checkout with the product. Make sure the payment method can cover both charges and review any Price Check you set. Membership being added is an attempt, not a guarantee that the order will succeed.

Captcha Harvesters & Verification

Captcha setup

Mattel may present a captcha before the task can continue. Bot uses the built-in harvesters; keep them open and solve challenges when prompted. There is no fixed number of harvesters to open: use only as many as your device can handle reliably.

For Mattel releases using reCAPTCHA, staff’s October 29 guidance recommends selecting Capsolver in the task’s Captcha Provider field. Configure your CapSolver key and balance in Settings → Captcha first, then choose Capsolver in the Mattel task. The hCaptcha AI Solver switch on a harvester is for supported hCaptcha challenges; it does not replace a reCAPTCHA provider. Follow newer release instructions if the challenge type or recommended provider changes.

Aycd, Capsolver and Capmonster need their matching service setup. Check keys, balance or connection as appropriate before the release. A selected provider or a valid balance does not guarantee it can solve every current challenge. If a provider fails, follow current guidance or use Bot with prepared harvesters for manual solving.

Supported Modes

• preload: The recommended Shopify mode for this Mattel walkthrough. Select Creations Mattel in Site.
• Do not create a separate Monitor task for this flow. Use other Shopify modes only when the release instructions specifically call for them.

Preload Mode Breakdown

Open Tasks, choose or create a Shopify group, and click Create Task. Select preload in the Mode dropdown. Preload handles monitoring and the release flow within the same task, so you do not need a separate Monitor task.

Name

Name: optional. Use a label you will recognize, such as Mattel RLC followed by the release date.

Profile

Profile: choose the profile whose email belongs to the intended Mattel account.

Monitor Proxy

Monitor Proxy: select a tested ISP or residential proxy group for checking the product. This field does not require a separate Monitor-mode task.

Checkout Proxy

Checkout Proxy: select the tested proxy group for the purchase flow.

Product

Product: paste the complete Mattel Creations product URL. The old guide called this Input. A direct product URL is recommended so the task targets the intended item.

Sizes

Sizes: choose the product option you want. Random is the existing recommendation for a collectible without size choices; use the specific option when a product has multiple variants.

Qty beside Sizes

Qty beside Sizes: the units of that product to request in the order. Follow the release limit; use 1 if you have not confirmed a higher allowed quantity. Shopify can automatically adjust the quantity during checkout, so the final order may contain fewer units than requested. Check the actual order confirmation and shipping cost before retrying.

Delay

Delay: the app starts at 3000 ms. Around 5000 ms (5 seconds) is the existing Mattel recommendation. Lower values check more frequently but can increase proxy blocks or rate limits.

Site

Site: select Creations Mattel for the standard US site. Verify this even if entering the URL fills it automatically. The dropdown also has Creations Mattel AU, DE and UK; only use a regional option for its matching storefront and release instructions.

OTP Input

OTP Input: leave blank for the standard setup unless newer instructions require it.

Account

Account: leave blank for the standard Mattel profile-email setup.

Captcha Provider

Captcha Provider: choose Bot, Aycd, Capsolver or Capmonster after preparing that provider. Bot uses your captcha harvesters for manual challenges.

Start Time and End Time

Start Time and End Time: optional scheduling controls. For the ordinary setup in this guide, leave them blank and start manually when the queue is live.

Qty at the bottom

Qty at the bottom: the number of task copies to create. This is different from the product quantity. Start with 1 task per profile/account and respect release limits.

Example product URL format:

https://creations.mattel.com/products/product-name

Replace product-name with the real product link. The screenshot uses a placeholder to show the format; it is not a live product. Review the selected profile, proxies and product before clicking Create.

Optional controls

Add item

Add item: adds another product line where supported. For a beginner release setup, start with the single intended product and avoid adding unrelated items unless current instructions call for them.

Password / Use Password

Password / Use Password: leave off for the standard setup. This is a storefront access password, not your Mattel account password.

Discount Code / Use Discount Code

Discount Code / Use Discount Code: leave off unless you have a valid code that applies to the release.

Price Check / Use Price Check

Price Check / Use Price Check: optional price protection. Enter the acceptable value for the release and consider any membership being added. Do not use an old screenshot’s amount without checking the current product.

Add Membership?

Add Membership?: use only when the product requires RLC membership and the account does not already have it. See the explanation below.

Endless Mode

Endless Mode: leave off for the standard setup. Enabling it allows further attempts after a successful checkout and reveals Endless Limit. Only use it intentionally and within store limits.

Mode

Select the mode named in this breakdown. Changing the mode changes the available fields and what the task does.

Task Qty

The Qty at the bottom creates that many copies of the task. Use 1 while learning and check account limits before creating duplicates.

FAQ & Release Preparation

When to start and what to watch

1. Prepare the tasks before the release and check the correct product URL, Site, profile email, quantity and membership setting.
2. Wait for the Mattel queue to go live, unless a newer announcement provides different timing.
3. Open your Captcha Harvesters if using Bot, or confirm the selected third-party service is ready.
4. Start the Preload tasks and watch their statuses. Complete any requested manual captchas promptly.
5. Follow current Stellar announcements, including instructions for additional stock waves. Avoid repeatedly stopping and restarting healthy tasks.
6. Check order confirmations and stop tasks you no longer want to run once you have the intended purchase.

Use the Mattel-specific timing above instead of a general Shopify suggestion to start five to ten minutes early. If you choose to use Start Time, the task must still be manually started in Stellar; setting a time alone does not start a stopped task.

One task per profile/account is a reasonable starting point. Scale only within account and product limits, and only as far as your proxies, captcha capacity and computer can handle. More tasks do not guarantee better results and can create extra captcha load, blocks or unintended duplicate purchase attempts.

Final release check

Use preload, the correct Creations Mattel Site, a profile email tied to the intended account, tested proxies and a ready captcha setup. Leave Account blank for the standard setup, enable Add Membership? only when needed, and start when the queue is live. Newer Mattel-specific announcements take priority over this general guide.

When to Start Tasks

Prepare tasks before the release so you have time to review every field.

For the standard Mattel setup:

1. Wait for the product queue to go live.
2. Confirm your Captcha Provider and harvesters are ready.
3. Start the Preload tasks.
4. Allow the tasks to enter the Mattel release flow.
5. Follow any live Stellar instructions posted during the release.

Do not use the general Shopify recommendation of starting five to ten minutes early when current Mattel instructions specifically say to start when the queue is live.

A scheduled Start Time does not start the task automatically. The task must already be manually started in Stellar.

How Many Tasks?

A reasonable general starting point is:

1 task per profile

This is only a starting point. Scale based on:

• Current Mattel announcement
• Number of profiles
• Number of Mattel accounts
• Proxy quality
• Captcha-solving capacity
• Computer or server resources
• Product and account limits

More tasks do not guarantee better results. Excessive task counts can increase captchas, proxy blocks, rate limits, and unintended duplicate checkout attempts.

During the Release

While Mattel tasks are running:

• Keep Captcha Harvesters open if Bot is selected.
• Complete any required manual captchas promptly.
• Confirm tasks are progressing through the queue.
• Avoid repeatedly stopping and restarting tasks without a reason.
• Watch current Stellar announcements for live instructions.
• Remember that RLC membership is added at checkout, not when the task starts.
• Do not create separate Monitor tasks.
• Keep tasks running if Mattel releases inventory in additional waves.

Common Errors and Fixes

Payment Declined (Risk)

This is common on Shopify checkpoint drops (releases with captcha protection) and is usually caused by Shopify’s risk management. Possible factors include:

Proxies

Proxies: Try running 1–2 tasks on your local IP alongside your proxy-based tasks. Your local IP means using your own internet connection without a proxy.

Profile

Profile: This is less likely, but your billing and shipping profile could also be a factor. Review those details for accuracy.

Device

Device: Ideally, run tasks on your own computer, preferably macOS, rather than on a server.

There is no guaranteed fix. Testing different setups can help identify what is triggering the risk declines. Change one factor at a time so you can compare the results.

Creations Mattel is not selected

Confirm Stellar is updated and the Product field contains a complete Mattel product URL. Check for an incorrect link or unnecessary tracking parameters, then select Creations Mattel manually in Site. Review the saved task before recreating anything.

Product is not found or task does not enter the queue

Check the exact Product URL and Site, confirm the queue or release is live, and test the Monitor Proxy. Look for a newer product link or staff announcement. Restart only an affected task when needed rather than resetting the whole setup.

Account is not recognized or a session error appears

Open the selected profile and confirm its email belongs to the intended Mattel account. Verify the account on Mattel’s website. For the standard setup, clear the task’s Account selection; the old instructions called this Session. Save the correction and follow the task’s status before restarting.

RLC membership is required

Check the account’s existing membership. If the product requires it and the account does not have it, enable Add Membership? and make sure the payment details and price settings allow for the membership. It is expected that membership has not been purchased simply because you started the task; the purchase attempt happens at checkout.

Waiting for captcha

Make sure the selected provider matches your prepared setup. For Bot, confirm the harvester is open and connected, then solve the challenge. If the machine struggles, reduce the number of open harvesters rather than opening more.

Proxy banned or rate limited

Try a different tested ISP or residential pool, avoid overloading one provider, and increase the delay if repeated rate limits occur. Check that the storefront works through the proxy. Repeatedly restarting every task can add more traffic without fixing the cause.

Wrong quantity or Price Check rejects the purchase

Confirm the current product limit and the Qty beside the product line. Use 1 if the limit is unknown. Review the product price and any RLC membership being added before adjusting Price Check. Do not disable a price limit unless you are comfortable with the purchase amount.
