Sorry for getting defensive. I don't know what got into me. It is amusing. I hope this isn't an omen that the days of insanity are returning.
I guess I don't understand why the "system" didn't work this time. Aren't all items in stock with a stock count? If you try to buy 100 of the new Uchu-man it puts 19 in your cart. Did someone miss count? I don't get it
It doesn't get pulled from the inventory until you've checked out which is why I can add 19 uchu man to my cart at the same time you do.
Also- with so many people trying to order so fast, possibly simultaneously, I can see how the ordering system could get overloaded and have problems. Seems like it sold out in under 2 minutes. I think it is amazing that Lulu could even give us a shot at these. Thanx Luke and Amy!
Thought I was safe, but I got the email an hour after my order was 'accepted'. Wow - this really is like the old days. But from seeing the posts, I gotta ask - who actually had an order go through?
First I agree, just knowing that these where made is fucking awesome, kudos to the folks at lulu for getting it done for us. Second, I doubt whomever scored will speak up now. I just hope it was collectors and not flippers who will run to ebay.
I'm just thinking that the order no. might not be definitive. We don't know if people were mostly ordering individually or as a set, and if there were any partial orders that went through.
I didn't get them but really appreciate Lulubell for putting them on sale at a set time and not playing mind games with the release. They know how to not only build good will but retain it.
went for both versions... order #1641 went thru... got confirmation... printed receipt... got denied...!!! thinking the orders in the #1620 range were the lucky ones...
for all those that got refunded...I'm positive there will be an avalanche of these in the BST by the end of the month.
