So far I missed the Barbossa ex at Amazon, didn't win a contest, annoyed the GF by staying up late looking at SDCC photos, got two hours to kill before Chemo, almost broke my phone, found out they were giving away Indy POPs in San Diego and got 2hrs sleep..

So pretty awesome lol

Also it appears Doc Strange did go to GS's, man it got confusing there for a second

So... real talk do we think Barbossa will go back up at all?

Was placing an order on GameStop online. Clicked on the submit order button and it popped me back to my cart with some error message (cart shows the four items I was ordering). My paypal summary shows the GameStop order as placed and pending. Did the order go through or what?

Not to be a Debbie Downer here, since others seem to say you'll be fine, but if all those orders went through, they could have canceled them for ordering more than the limit.

It happened to a few friends of mine with last year, and happened to me with the Breaking Bad Beat-Up Jesse Pinkman 2 years ago with Gemini.

I was completing my order and the site crashed so I tried again, and it went through. Then I got an email a few minutes later saying the limit was one and I ordered two, so they canceled both my orders.

Luckily Gemini has stellar costumer service, so I was able to call and get it worked out.

It's 1:23 am. I normally go to bed at 10 pm. My butt is sore from sitting in this wooden dining chair for hours. The paint is coming off of my F5 key. My mind is in a foggy haze, only caffeine is keeping me from passing out. I need to go to the bathroom. I have a checklist next to me, it looks like I've already bought something like a dozen Pops for me and my gf. And yet here I sit, hoping beyond hope that the darned Ecto-1 goes live on Target tonight. Wait a second.... F5.... nope. Anyway, how's your day?

Alright I guess. I didn't get my Duck Dodgers, the Banana Splits were Con only and my a** is sore. I gotta stay up though to make sure my sister gets the Pops she wants. The things I do for that woman. Your gf up with you?

I was bummed about Dodgers too. Ugh.

Your sis is lucky indeed!

Heck no, my gf gave me her wishlist and promptly went to sleep. At least that's my guess, she quit replying to texts over an hour ago. Maybe she's out partying lol

All in all a successful evening, only missed out on one item I wanted. Now I have to wake up in two hours to work a 13-14 hour day!

I hope everyone has a fun and safe day of hunting tomorrow.

I do because I recall the Amazon SDCC exclusives going back up more than once last year.

You got my number one this year. Congrats. ](*,)

Okay guys, it's been real, but if I'm going to tackle FYE and B&N tomorrow I need to get some sleep.

I've got a refresher alarm on both the Barbossa link and Gemini's site, but knowing me and how deep a sleeper I am, I doubt I'll hear either of them if they go off at 5 am or whatever. Stay vigilant, hunters!

Fine I suppose.

Missed out on Barbosa because it went up unexpectedly.
Tried my luck ordering from GameStop but my order wouldn't go through and hasn't at all been charged, so I've given up. I guess I'll just have to push harder tomorrow. Really hoping I don't miss out on Celebration Luke and Han. Not as worried about Deadpool, and I'm hoping my faith isn't misplaced lol

With my luck, I'll get what I want from Hot Topic and GameStop, but miss out if Barbosa shows up again, or if Goblin ever appears.

This year is way more stressful it seems than last. In retrospect, despite e anxiety, last year was a breeze. Placed a couple orders off HT and B&N that went through at midnight, made it in time to B&N at 9am and got what I wanted there, and managed to make it somewhat early in line at HT at 10. Got everything else there. Anything I missed I picked up effortlessly through Popcultcha.

With the way my luck is running now, I cant help but worry FYE is gonna fail me :eek:

Sounds like such a lovely evening lol

I'm happy I was able to order Strange. Now hopefully it sticks!

I remember this too. They could be doing something as simple as limiting per day orders or only doing a certain amount at a time so they don't oversell

Would that mean they could still put him back up tonight or would it be tomorrow? :eek:

I feel like it was the next day for me, but I don't remember. I will check my order and emails in just a second though.

It's common. Takes a couple hours to show up sometimes.

I got so bored for a minute I actually clicked on the "Meet the Dogs of Amazon" link and it gave me factoids. Tanq's favorite toy is his tennis ball and his likes are his tennis ball. I love Tanq. lol
