I am. I'm not worried that I won't get it, since I do still have my BBTS pre-order for PP-43, but it would be nice to get it in a week or two instead of in January.

Not according to the sightings section.

So, anyone else camping HTS right now for SDCC exclusives? I started at 9am just to be safe since they're so unpredictable. Hopefully this isn't another 2 or 3pm year.

Yup, been waiting since 8 A.M. It's been quite the wait, especially since I'm sick, so it's been quite a pain. Hopefully this waiting will be worth it.

Yep, I am. Last year I went out to lunch when Grotusque was made available and sold out by the time I got back. This year, I packed a lunch.

I dot think this will sell out, as its a more expensive item and those have not sold out as quickly in the past. Plus there is a 2 per household limit.

I'm not so much worried about missing out, I'm just impatient. I have him on preorder from BBTS, but it would sure be nice to have him in a few weeks instead of January.

As of right now he says in stock, but no way to add him to the cart.

Well this is intereesting. As a general rule, if there are any promo codes, exclusive items will not appear until after those codes expire (11:59 am EDT/9:59am PDT)...just for future reference.

On HTS I got a *generic error* at the end, but paypal confirmed the order, so I hope it went through. I'm kind of irked shipping was charged, I thought shipping was free $50 and up...???

Also, just for the record I am getting 2 TotP, not for profit, but for trade. If anyone wants to straight up trade a Primitive Optimus MIB for a TotP, PM me. Thank you so much.

For me it was only in stock at noon, I kept refreshing and it wouldn't actually give me the buy button until 12:10pm. Site kept going down so I finally got my order to complete at 12:25.

Will, I expect this to sell out very quickly. You're forgetting that it comes with four exclusive Prime Masters essential to anyone wanting to complete the set. Plus Primitive Prime sold out in 20 minutes last year and the big IDW comic crossover set sold out in 10 minutes. Size has nothing to do with it, popular items will sell out no matter how big or expensive it is.

Same, but keep at it, I had to redo it 4 times for it to work.

Just messaged you guys about this. Was able to get my order through for the THRONE OF THE PRIMES. Took forever though, first they changed out of stock to IN STOCK, and then the add to cart button came up after about 9:12am pst. Then it was an ordeal for the site to get to the subsequent pages.

Yeah. Everything is moving REALLLLLLYYY slowly.

But I did get it.

WOO HOO! I got it. Like everyone else is saying, yeah the website is tanking hard. But through it all it worked in the end. Sending luck to those who haven't got it yet and are still trying.

News Credits: 456 · by **Sabrblade** » Mon Aug 13, 2018 11:43 am

Finally got it to go through! I had to keep opening new tabs for new payment attempts and closing previous tabs for each failed attempt. Finally got one to reach the successful order page. I just hope that none of my failed attempts actually went through on HTS's end, or else I just ended up ordering three or four of the set. X_X
