Well that's a good thing and bad that it still gives a need to camp out HTS more. It would be nice if they'd just mark a date and say "12:00pm Eastern time aug 6" or whatever. They can pick a day or longer to after when they expect them in. But I'll keep an eye out. Thanks for passing along the news!

I miss the days when Toys were plentiful and we were all able to find our joes without worry of a shortage............( WOW......I sounded like my parents and gas prices for a sec).

That is good to hear. I was starting to contemplate how much I would be really willing to spend on a Triple T version. I got lucky and got my order inside of that 15 minute window for the USA version. Now I know to hold out which I was going to do anyway. The prices always drop anyway after the hype dies down.

Not always. There are the ones that price goes up in time b/c there was no hype at first.

I'm really glad for everyone who missed out the first time around.

I haven't opened the USA/wrestling version, but the Triple T Sarge really is a great figure. And this is coming from someone who never really liked the Sarge as a part of Joe to begin with.

I hope everyone who wants one can get a hold of one.

Ugh....

I just F5'ed the page and was stunned to see the Triple T version was in stock. I slammed my order in as fast as possible. Not fast enough apparently because it was out of stock again when I hit the last page of the checkout process.

:rant:

That sucks. I forgot to even check with all this Mattel crap today. Looks like it may have been a canceled order that showed up and too many people are sitting there all day F5ing the site. I hate it and wih they'd give us a date to just set everything aside for.

After filtering through the disaster that is the unmoderated thread at Hisstank, apparently it was only up for 60 seconds at best. A couple of people confirmed they got orders in. Others called HTS to complain/ask questions and 1 person was told it was additional inventory added by the warehouse likely from cancelled orders. They even told them they only had 5 orders (10 figs max) get submitted before it went out of stock again. I guess I am not really suprised someone would call to complain about this to HTS. I am suprised they actually got information out of them. Is it true or not? Who knows. The rumor is that they are still supposed to get more and will likely be at least 100 figures. But I am not going off any of that crap. I am still continuing to check simply because it is no effort to leave it on my screen at work and hit F5 every now and then to see if the status changes.

Damn. I had given up checking. Ah well, it probably would have been more frustrating to see it available for only 60 seconds and possibly having it in my cart and not getting the order through. What a friggin' fiasco this has turned into.

That should be enough to tell themt hat they need to come up with a game plan and put it on the front page of the site. If this new stock just shows up and they add it on the site with a quick sell out, they'll be flooded with more complaints.

If this is true, and anybody gets a chance to get an extra, I will gladly buy one of each from you.

But if you worked there you could be the hero of that says "we're not going to blindly put these up, we are going to get these in and then set a day and time for putting these up. We'll put it up on the front page so everyone can see. We'll also make sure the servers are at peek operation the day of so we give the fans a good chance."

Yep if you worked for them and was the one to bring this in, you'd get a bonus. Hehe, you might would get handed the keys to the store.
