Well here we go again today. Well let's all hope this delay is because HTS.com is preparing extra servers to handle the traffic.

I do hope they put them up today though.

I used a divining rod which indicated the sale will start at 12:17, but then I poured some wax into cold water and that told me 11:37. I asked my cat about it and he insists that nothing will be listed before 2:30, so now I don't know WHAT to think...

No evidential reason other than last years time frame. Possibly misplaced hope, we'll find out soonly.

At this point, I just want a regular sleep pattern back I-)

Hopefully they at least give a set date/time today.

They won't. They like the mad scramble because PR can spin that into a story about big demand for the product. The site going down is the hot fudge on a sundae of awesome for them.

So on HTS there is an ad for free shipping on most orders of $50. I just noticed the banner style one that states SDCC items do not apply to this discount. Has this been there the whole time or is there hope that they are preparing? I just noticed this specific one mentioning SDCC, it's possible I have just been overlooking the small print.

The banner on the Transformers brand page looks new.

EDIT: Nevermind about the homepage, the summer sale blended with it in my mind.

The banner on the Transformers brand page looks new. The initial ad on the homepage has been there for a while, at least since I've been looking.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking but didn't know if I am just THAT zoned out by this ordeal.

That image is really low-res. Looks like it was hastily thrown together at the last minute. Maybe that means they're about to update the site with the new products.

Ah, this old game. Lovely. I am out of town, and cannot get hts to load on my inlaws computer, but can on my iphone. Weird.

I already bought an eBay HISS to avoid the inevitable let down. Might grab a Bruticus, Cliffjumper, and Kim Arashikage (GI JOE) if I make it in time.

And the Marvel SHIELD helicarrier looks rad.

The Star Wars pack is tempting if just for the Jar-Jar in carbonite.

I just want them to go up so I can know whether I can get my Derpy Hooves or not. I really don't want to pay the $80 eBay price...

I swear there was an e-mail last year telling us when to look for them. Not much notice, but there (through those that had previously ordered, or the club, not sure).

Wed Jul 18, 2012 10:49 am

Pretty sure we knew the date and rough start time last year after someone called the support line.

We knew it was gong to be Tuesday...not sure it they gave the time or not. Hope nobody misses out on their Herpe Dooves because of it, though.

I don't remember there being a time given, only a general time frame(IIRC, they were told Tuesday morning).
