i understand the frustration with quick sell outs, but as other people have mentioned this was a overrun much like the MOD that sold out very quickly. Here's hoping there is another release soon and it's big big big.

I was thinking the same thing but I got a email last week and she said I would have my order by the first of this week. I ordered 2, one for me and one for dad but if he doesn't want it I will but it up to the guys that didn't get a chance.

My order was only 12 after Ted's and he was the first to get one. Our times were less than a second apart, goes to show how fast the dogs move. I hope I scored though.

No good or bad email here, and I'm sitting below 2840 for the order number - so maybe there is some hope for this mutt. But I did get my SS4 today <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I believe that they went with the store instead of a Ganzaaa so folks would know immediately if they scored rather than having to wait. The store failed to handle the load & then ended up having to go through things manually after all that. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

A ganzza style system would work better on their part, save them from having to deal with refunds.

I dont see anything wrong with limited quantities, it's not like it would affect their sales, they'd still sell out on every run, it might just take 10 minutes instead of 2.

Even if you could only add a couple to your cart at a time, check out, then go back for more. Or just limit it for the first few minutes.

I think almost everyone here was very quick, sitting at their computers for half an hour refreshing, and even us losers were probably within a minute or even a few seconds of the winners.

I've got nothing against first come first serve, no one should get preferential treatment, but if some individuals are causing a lot of disappointed customers just so they can line their pockets why not make an adjustment for the sake of their fans?

I remember seeing a piece on the news when the iphone came out. This woman paid some kid $500 for his place in the front of the line so she could buy ALL the iphones and hawk them on ebay. [censored] was it satisfying to see her reaction when they told her 1 per customer and everyone laughed at her, especially the kid who still got one in spite being at the back of the line.

I am glad I skipped this release. Looks like a lot of frustration.


Doubt I will be able to pass up the next one though....

Didn't make the cut here either - so to speak. Oh well, more money for next time.
