GOT MY GENERAL KENOBI!

[tomandshell]

I wonder who will be the first to say they forgot today was the PPO.

Not me!!

:chew :chew :chew

 

[The Mike]

Lol. I was so excited for the PPO I was ready to order yesterday.

 

[Khev]

Crap, I ducked out of a meeting at work, called SS one minute before it went on sale, was put on hold for nine minutes and then was told they were sold out. Ouch. Got on the waitlist when I logged online half hour after the sellout. Hope it converts.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

I'm glad I was able to snag the exclusive. For once, the little hologram adds some cool factor to the piece.

Re: the Wait List glitch. No worries, everyone was equal. NO ONE could get on the Wait List at first due to a tech glitch... took some detective work but they figured it out and got it up and running. So as long as you kept trying until it went through, your place on the Wait List is probably the same as it would have been if you had gotten through immediately

That would be me. D'oh! Waitlisted.

 

[MANDO]

I've had really good luck with the waitlist in the past, and thats after the figure had been sold out for months. I'm sure you guys will have no problem obtaining the exclusives.

Dusty the fast sellout has me worried about Snake Eyes and Cobra Commander. Don't underestimate the GI Joe fanbase! Lots of people who don't collect SS products will be migrating from sites like yojoe.com, TNI, and Hisstank.com much like when SW was announced. No two minute sellouts for the Joes please.

Can you give me some examples? I've dipped out most of the time, despite getting on the list only hours after sellout.

 

[The Mike]

I put my name on the SSC Exclusive Angel 1/6 figure about two months ago even though it's been sold out for a while and got a notice a couple of weeks ago saying it'd be converted to an actual order. I had to cancel because of all the stuff coming but it works.

Even though my page froze for a second my order in the SSC account say:

VERY good to know. Thank you. I'll probably get one after all!:chew

Honestly pretty much any figure... I think Old Ben has been the only exception. Just get on now, and you should be fine.

 

[DarthTrafford]

I'm still so giddy I got my General Kenobi figure!

[Sick Boy 82]

I just can't believe he sold out that quick for a little sculpture of Rex. Craziness! I am a little disspaointed about no extra hands. WTF! is up with that??

If it didn't clip to his arm ala hologram style maybe not as big of a deal?

I know I want it because of that.

I wonder how exactly it will clip on?

 

[tomandshell]

I really like that it clips on. Makes it much better than holo-Sidious.

I believe thats why it was as popular as it was
