May be a moot point if it is sold out already but maybe add the link to your first post in the thread.

I just got the link at 12:00 but that's a really good idea!

Got my 3 sets, didnt show on the wacky search, link was on the main page only


Thanks for the heads up on this. I was hitting refresh continuously on the Wacky items page with no change. Came back here and saw some people ordered already. I was thinking WTF?

Got mine ordered. Sucks to have to get the regular set tomorrow and pay two different times for s&h.

It showed showed up on mine about 5 minutes ago, or 12:25pm EST.  Is that what you guys saw too?  The forum clock must be off on my computer because everyone's posts seem to be before noon.  I got my 3 sets in though.

I got mine but it still says it's available and not sold out yet??
Also kinda shocked at the 500 released,was thinkin' it would only be about 300 sets.

I was thinking the same thing.  However, I see that the other unlimited sets are free shipping in the US.  I'm hoping that continues for this set.  In that case, we US people won't have to pay any more for shipping. 

Because I had never ordered an OLDS2 binder, I added that into my postcard order.  Adding that binder hardly increased shipping (only $14.10 to Wisconsin).  Don't know why the shipping on just a few postcard sets is so high, but the silver lining for me is that I didn't have to add much to ship the binder.

Don't feel bad. Either my comp or the board seems to think in West Coast time.

We based it off of last year's Halloween set and 500 seemed to be a good number.

I am happy about 500 sets.  It will make it easier for everyone to collect and make ebay prices a little cheaper.

It's already crazy. The forum is slowing down.

Today we broke the previous forum record from July 2010 of 66 on-line at once.

New record: 82 - Woohoo!

Hey, most of you guys on the East Coast will be getting yours tomorrow. I don't want to be left in the dust and have to wait a week.

I agree!  Though my wall space is incredibly limited, I'll find a way to display that image.

I hope the poker scene on the main screen is the poster - that looks fantastic!

I tried not to really look at the Wackys, so they'll be more of a surprise when they arrive.  But, from the glimpses I got, I think this set will be great!

Why do members keep posting that they are sold out?   Why do you guys think they've sold out already?

Yep, no problem.  They went right in, and I had the option to check out.

because 'THEY ARE SOLD OUT' - CAN'T SEE 'SETS' TO ORDER - NOT SHOWING DROP DOWN BOX!!

That's correct. They're sold out. I think some people were able to get the drop down menu because they still had the active page in their cache.

So, that's that! Hope everyone enjoys the new set!

Ah...  Thanks for the explanation.  I was wondering what was up.  Was the sellout time really 18 minutes?

I just tried a different computer in my place and I can still get all the way through to checkout... And it hadn't been on the site yet.  Weird.

Just curious - any color sketches this time around?
