The "I got my Obi-Wan Exclusive" 25 page thread!

[tomandshell]

Finally got it. For those of you who see the whole "Not available for streamlined ordering" bit, keep at it. I got that message four times, and got in on the fifth. I think there are still plenty left.

But why is it telling us this? I hope somebody from SS can address this. I was going insane for a little bit. I think I threw up in my mouth. What's the point of the streamlined log in screen if it doesn't log you in once the product goes on sale?

I just got through, and it went very quickly.

I had been trying for 10+ minutes, having gotten a late start because of work.

Then the site just seemed to speed up and I got the order in quickly.

Good luck!

Well whaddayaknow!!! WingShadows's link worked like a charm!! If you have logged in at the SideShow site, but keep getting the streamline not available for pre-order thing, just click this link:

FYI - the numbers are in the FAQ:

CS number within U.S. - 1-800-474-3746
Outside U.S. - 1-805-418-1940

But after 30 minutes and then the "not available yet" screen, it went straight through on my next try.

 

[tomandshell]

For those still struggling- Forget the faulty log in system and use the direct link provided by Winged Shadows. It will work!

CS number within U.S. - 1-800-474-3746

I couldn't get through with this number...

 

[Vonhahn]

Finally after 46 min. I got it and a confirmation number.

 

[akamonrg]

got mine after 45minute and that's too much time spending for a 12" SW.
Hope sideshow will buy server!!!!!!

[Bonehead15]

Hey, worked for me too! Thank you, Winged Shadows. It was a total no-go until I tried that link.

Thanks whoever posted the phone number. Sorry I am too mentally exhausted to go back and check. I did get my order in with Lodi by phone. It rang maybe six times. Aimee (or Amy I think there are two at sideshow) asked me to hold very politely, came back on about 15 seconds later and apologized for the delay, and then I put in my order quickly and easily with Lodi in a few minutes. Sounds like they are aware of the difficulty and were very very nice. I hope no one that gets through on the phone lights them up for this whole web fiasco. I can't strees how easy it was by phone - go figure.

So much for streamlined ordering by web.

If the servers were running good I would say it will sell out in an hour, but no way with them like this...

 

[Michael Crawford]

Finally got mine in on the web. Unfortunately, somehow I ended up with a Skinner in my shopping cart, which I'd already ordered earlier today. With the streamline ordering, there is no way to update your cart, and I couldn't place the order for Obi-wan until I got that damn Skinner out of there!

Fortunately I made it back to the regular page which let me into the normal shopping cart and I managed to get the order placed. *whew*

 

[TheWitchKing]

Alas, my order is in!

 

[Ironman1188]

Finally got thru to the 800 number only to get a recording telling me they don't want to keep me on hold and disconnected me!!!!!

The guys at CS were awesome. Be very, very nice to them.

It took a while to load, and I though I had all of my bases covered by opening the newsletter page earlier today. The streamline page loaded a few times, but crapped out. It finally went through, though! I just don't want to have to do this once a week between Star Wars and Lord of The Rings Pre-Orders! I hope Sideshow could set up a service whereby those completists amoung us could "subscribe" to an entire 12-inch line, as it would certainly soothe my jangled nerves
