Was about 45 minutes after I ordered. I'm sure the site is getting hit pretty hard right now...

Even though HTS stated that there are no discounts on exclusives, I assumed it would still cover the shipping portion. Kinda sucks that they don't. Out of curiosity, what's the shipping charge on Fort Max?
Posted by shauyaun on August 9th, 2016 @ 12:20pm CDT
I'm starting to worry

I still haven't received mine either. They are probably behind. You can always call them.

Wow. I really want the sword, but don't know if I can justify the price difference. If it was just the $30 premium, maybe. But after factoring in tax and shipping, the premium is closer to $60.

EDIT: False Alarm, it just took a while to get it

25 bucks to Alaska, though I asked for faster, so It's $35

Yeah, I was on them since last night. My worry was that the site would go live at midnight Eastern on Aug 9. Sure enough, at about 11 CDT, Midnight Eastern, the figures showed up in the Exclusives section of HTS. I refreshed for about 45 minutes trying to add items to my cart, and kept an eye on Seibertron for news, afraid that everything had been sold out in the first couple of minutes. When nothing showed on Seibertron, I posted the link here and notified the news crew. (It's rare that I get a scoop. ) I kept refreshing until about 1:00 AM CDT, then had to go to bed so I could function at work the next day.
When I woke up this morning and checked, still couldn't add anything to my cart. President-prime mentioned checking every half hour overnight (thanks again for that, President-prime! ) so I was pretty sure the inventory hadn't yet been released.
Then, presto, at 10 AM CDT, 11 AM EDT, I was able to add the item to my cart. About a 5 minute nerve racking checkout later, I had my stuff ordered and posted here letting everyone know about the figures going live. I also sent a line to the News Crew again.
So, that's the story of the last 18 hours or so. I hope most people got what they were looking for. It appeared that Soundwave and the Star Wars figures all went the quickest, maybe inside an hour?
Yeah, I don't know that I want to go through that again.... Off to find a nap after work...

Devastator and the Combiner Hunters took weeks to sell out for good last year. Might have been a couple months for Devastator, actually.Bounti76 wrote:And as of 4pm MST, both the Titan Force set and Fortress Maximus are still in stock/available to add to cart. A lot of worry about nothing.
I'm genuinely surprised the Soundwave tablet was the thing to sell out. Smaller run I suppose?

And you guys are too funny. This is hilarious

You pulled over on your way to work to order an SDCC exclusive? That is awesome!President-prime wrote:Sorry for the late reply. Worked haha. It went live when I was driving to work. Had to pull over to order, haha. So confirmation and order page was available at 8:01 this morning pacific time. Got me fort max, Soundwave, and Titan force. My other retail fort max can be in city mode
And you guys are too funny. This is hilarious

What has me bamboozled is, why I couldn't see the listings last night. I wonder if it's because I kept refreshing the same page?
Well! The tale has a happy ending after all. It sounds like we all got what we were after. Including MEEEEEEEE!
P.S. So glad I gave up star wars collecting years ago.

On a side note. Congrats to those who got one.

The one that says they have been shipped?
Posted by Cobotron on August 10th, 2016 @ 8:14am CDT
Not yet, but that's pretty normal. They always say the expected ship date is the same day you place your order, but it never is. Usually the next day. Sometimes 2 days later.Shauyaun wrote:Has anyone received the second email?

I'm impressed with HTS. They ship pretty quick, and I usually get it within 5 business days of order date.
