Ok some real talk on bananas though - I think once they're brown-ish and somewhat mushy they're compost, but my wife tells me this is how most people prefer them because that's peak ripeness. I'm more into them while pretty much all yellow and still somewhat solid. Is this odd?

Agreed I actually like them most when there's still some green in them. just a lil bit green. Although I've heard that brown bananas prevents cancer.... umm.. its upppppppp!!!!

Stormtroopers are out. Trying to remove it from cart so I can check out on these other things and the site is just borked.

by **Henry921** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 10:34 am

Those troopers sold out in a hurry. I had 2 in my cart, but held out hope for the TFs... and they were gone. :-(

Can't hesitate.

I got the MTG set, the hunters, the kreons, and the ML set and then wen to check out. I figured the Storm troopers is going to f*ck with my check out process so i opened another page to order them separately but the sold out.

Right click "Add to cart" button everything you want to add and open in new tab. When done, go to last new tab you opened and close the others. It'll load your cart with all the things in it, no back and forth.

Got my Lady Robots and Kreons. It was less painful than ordering the Steel Core trailer a while back. Hooray!

The slowdown is unbearable... two more screens to get through. Baby, baby hold together...

Good luck errybody! I'm off the site, nothing ordered

I've been trying to delete this stupid stormtrooper from my cart for 20 minutes.

by **Henry921** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 10:48 am

Aaaand good enough. Got my Kreons.

Farewell, Stormtrooper. I take solace in knowing you'll be available for $15 sometime next year at retail.

Can't believe I actually managed to get the ladies with the big ass swords!

The thank you page failed to load after I clicked purchase but I let it sit and eventually got through to the confirmation page.

by **tyranni533** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 10:49 am

i was (slowly) able to navigate a combiner hunter, but no order confirmation email yet... :BOWDOWN:

Marvel Legends set sold out.

by **necr0blivion** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 10:56 am

and it is pure f'ing hell!

and the Marvel Book of Vishnu sold out. Managed to get the Ant-Man 5 figure pack and the Combiner Hunters. Will have to check back if Book of Vishnu ever comes back in stock. It's happened in previous years.

I was one of the first through, managed to get to Step 5 within five minutes of everything going live. And THEN... the Stormtrooper was out. No big-deal, it was an impulse buy anyway. But does HTS make it easy to get that sucker out of your cart? Not remotely.

Thirty minutes later, I finally saw Step 5 again and the order went through, with Kreons, ladies, and Skywarp. Sheesh, what a headache.

Remember eight years ago, when this process sucked, when the site crashed constantly, when things would disappear inexplicably, when you wouldn't even know if your order went through? Glad they streamlined it all since then. :roll:

So Chuckdawg, that Stormtrooper was the first thing to go, did you get one?

I think their idea of "streamline" was putting the link to the SDCC products in a very tiny font at the top of the page, instead of a nice splash image where people can see it. It was hard to tell that it was even a link, since that little notice box has been up there about a week and WAS NOT a link at the time.

Bravo, HTS, bravo. :APPLAUSE:
