Not yet, you forgot to add your educated speculations.

Well, ****. Guess I'll just continue my mediocre posting and dream about the time I reached out and let greatness slip through my fingers.

**** YOU MONDO! I tried to get a couple new animated Batman prints today and they sold out in seconds. I sat at my computer and refreshed and refreshed and refreshed hoping to catch them when they went up for preorder. Apparently, in the 4 seconds it took to refresh the page and the 20 seconds it took to add them to my cart they ****ing sold out. I won't try to order from Mondo again. It's taken awhile but I've learned my ****ing lesson. ****ing *******s.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

Their site is such a piece of ****. I just tried again just to see what message it gave me and somehow got an order in for the NBA poster but not the BTAS version. They just said the ****ing things were sold out.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

These are the ones I was trying to get. I guess one is better than none--unless ****ing Mondo tells me my order got cancelled for some reason.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Wow, I really like those. I guess you can resort to dumb eBay, at probably triple the cost.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I got the TNBA one which is fine, but it pisses me off that I didn't get both. I've been trying to get them again and the BTAS has stayed sold out but the TNBA one pops up as available every now and then.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Ugh, it would seriously bug me not having both.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I hate trying to get anything from them. If a print sells out in 5-10 minutes then fine--that's enough time to get an order in with no problem. When the stuff sells out in seconds? Who the **** is getting in that fast and how the **** are they doing it?

I've never bought anything from Mondo. Can you buy more than one print at a time? I can only assume they're stacking their carts with as many as possible to flip them.

I checked eBay, and in the process of opening a link for the TAS version, it already sold.

I found this one.

Supposedly it's one per person/household. I don't know how they can get an item into a cart and check out in under 20 seconds. I feel like I have it streamlined as much as possible and it'll take me 30 seconds or so. By that time, the items are usually gone.

*******s. The ****ing prints were $40.

People use programs built specifically for buying these items. Sucks.

Ah ****, I didn't realize how much they were inflated on there. The one that just sold was like $125.

I need to get me one of those then. I only want 4-5 prints a year from Mondo, but I don't want to pay 3x the price just because I'm not using the right tools to get them.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

They finally officially declared the BTAS one sold out.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I guess you're only bet is to bend over for eBay.
