Glad you got yours. I just got home a little while ago and thought I would jump on just because there was so much Halloween chatter earlier. Glad I did, I just got my sets!

15+ from NY to NY does that sound right?

I got a $14.95 UPS shipping charge to Indiana but that also included a series 2 Eraser gravity feed as well

OK, I guess the $11.82 is for 3 sets. Would it have been the same for 1 set? They don't combine?

Don't know, I got 3 too.

That's thinking! Combined shipping!

BumChex · « **Reply #249 on:** October 14, 2011, 08:41:34 PM »

If anyone is only planning on buying one set please buy 3 and sell me the other 2. Just PM me if you need the money now.
Thanks!

How it that any different from having friends and family buy extra sets?

I'm not intentionally being an ass here, but I'd love to buy more than 3 sets as I'm sure would many others.

What we should do is do some kind of "Wacky Forum Overflow Pool" where anyone buying the max limit from Topps can put any unopened extras they don't really want into the pool. Then everyone who wants to buy from the pool puts their names in and we draw out winners like a lottery. That might thwart the flippers a little at least.

I grabbed a couple of those Wacky Erasers 2 boxes to help with the combined shipping. Man, I really dislike shipping costs!

We should all PM a few people to let them know - I've PM'd BigTomi, Campy, DPV, Duzn't, Gurgle, Pupsi, and Porkie so far.

Much appreciated, thanks to all for the messages!
Was at a Drs. appt for my wife all afternoon with limited cell phone access. When I got the msg, I thought "oh good, I have till 9 pm my time" (was thinking midnight EST again) - Wrong! After I got another message from another forum member, I realized my mistake... So much for my "early warning system" idea huh...

BumChex · « **Reply #252 on:** October 14, 2011, 09:45:42 PM »

Looks like there are about 80 sets left.

Still some available as of 11:50pm CT. Definitely lasted longer than last time.

Maybe you can keep adding 3 to the cart?

I pinged at least a dozen people who I wasn't sure were on this email flow. So far have one confirmed "save" of someone who would have otherwise missed out. Seems the buddy system has some merits eh?!

I contacted about 12 people, have at least 5 confirmed saves

Does anyone know if the guy on ebay that has the set up the same guy that had 75 sets before? I don't know his user ID.

Oh, big big thanks to Dr Popper for saving me! I definitely would have missed out.

That's Topps rule. It ain't the law of the land.

You can add 3 to the cart, then you can go to the cart and manually adjust it to whatever number. Right now there are 67 sets left. 90% sold out.

Ah, I didn't realize the part about changing the number in the cart. Thanks!!

48 sets still available as of 3:45am ...

DrDeal · « **Reply #266 on:** October 15, 2011, 03:33:27 AM »

Got my 3 sets at 6:15 am. 24 sets left as of 6:50am. So the extra 160 sets (660 instead of 500)
and the three set limit saved me from not getting in on this release.

I Did not check the forum last night after checking it about 5 times during the day. I figured things were done for the weekend after 5pm yesterday. I was very wrong. Thanks to Neil for another sweet set.

If my dog did not awaken me at 7:00 am, I may have missed them. Thanks Neil for the heads up Email and Fritz for waking me up.

I was wondering if the postage on these are correct: $11.82 for PS Ground from NY to NJ? Does that sound right?

Nine and some change to Scranton which was for two sets.

Luckily I got an email from someone whose email starts with "oneiron" otherwise I would have missed this.

Sorry I didn't send you a PM Ernie, I thought I saw that you posted after the announcement. Sorry to others that I missed as well - I was not very organized and was just shotgunning PMs randomly. We need a better system!

I missed it too. This is the first release I missed. Thanks for sending the notice Dr Sushi, I just got it a bit too late. Strange thing is, the link is still live on topps and it doesn't show sold out. It just doesn't add anything to your shopping cart.

There might be sets left - a lot of us had a problem with the shopping cart. I had to switch pcs, others tried firefox or safari. Don't give up yet!!

Feetena · « **Reply #278 on:** October 15, 2011, 05:59:27 AM »

Yeah, Billf, try again. I just did (thanks Raw Goo!) and it worked for me.
