Mara Jade bust

[jason2885]

Well I never have experienced one of these for GG but from what Ive heard I may not want too. I would like to get Mara though and Ill preorder Jedi Luke to go with her if I can get her.

No doubt it will be a pain. I'm sure it will be an email link, but they'll send out the email a couple or three days before the link goes live. I also anticipate all exclusives going live at the same time, with is really going to fry the servers and cut peoples chances who are trying for more than one exclusive.

I'm not even sure I want to be anywhere near GG's site when these go live


Of course, don't let my optimism discourage anyone

It is ten times more stressful than Sideshow's priority pre-order. GG's shopping will let you add items, then tell you they are sold out, then allow other people to still order the item. Nightmare it is!

This should not be as bad as the Blackhole Stormtrooper though as there were only 500 of those available.

Don't forget that GG doesn't let you set up an online account that has all of your info saved in the system. You have to enter all of your billing and shipping and credit card information every time, which adds to the time and stress. While you are doing all that, the item in your shopping cart can sell out.

Also, there were only 500 Malfoys total, so I think that getting one of the few left over from SDCC will be even harder than the Blackhole Trooper. There were more Mara and Shock Trooper busts to begin with, so you should have a better chance with them. If they do the smart thing and send out a surprise e-mail, vigilant collectors will get their chance. If they schedule a time and announce it days in advance, you can expect another Blackhole fiasco.

Well said Tom.

when i tried to order the BHT , i had everything set up but when I submitted my order, GG's website declined it and said that my credit card info that I entered does not match what my bank has on record. That's bullcrap because I know for a fact I typed everything out correctly.

Has anyone had this happen to them and do they know why this happend?

 

[Gran3131]

Nash,

The same thing happened to a friend of mine. I guess with all the congestion this was one of the problems that people had.

True. I know that friends of mine ordered them after the time it told me they were sold out. I tried to order it again after the first error. I entered all my information again and when I got to the end it said I didn't enter any information. Sure enough when I went back a few screens, all my information was gone. At that point, I was at work and couldn't try anymore.

Nothing official. The last thing they said was that they would go on sale the last week of August or first week of September. So it should be any day now...

 

[jason2885]

Well I guess it will be tomorrow or Thursday then.
