[GiantEnemyGoomba]

This thread is incredible and I'm so glad I stayed up stupidly late last night to get one

Fuck Tai Ding.

$110? Pays for itself after u sell one SNES clasic

 

[zulux21]

so close on target.... got to the sing in info with one in my cart... oh well
*turns autoclicker back on*

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Now that ThinkGeek is sold out, look for Gamestop.com to magically get fixed. I bet it's up in less than an hour.

All they have to do is use a captcha no? Or is the bot that good.

I can't believe this is legal.

They should bundle the N64 Classic with random paintings of people lined up outside GameStop trying to buy the NES and SNES Classic.

In other news, my F5 key has literally broken after today's events. Please say a prayer for it as it journeys onward to its final place of rest.

Nintendo-like solution

 

[gweemz]

Fyi target allowed me to add to cart. Instantly removed when I tried to checkout but may be worth f5ing there.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I think I just missed it at Target again

 

[nahlakhai]

I got in a thinkgeek order for the mega man bundle but I feel dirty AF. Will easily return/cancel if I can get my hands on a standalone. Anyone get a confirmation from thinkgeek yet?

It's like 5 steps. I got through to the address and was about to get into the payment, then it stopped working

 

[Aztechnology]

So is Toys R Us basically the last bastion of hope?

 

[Hazmat]

Me too. Made it to checkout and they took it out of the cart.

Can you share which extension you're using please?

 

[Brinbe]

Sigh... Had one of those thinkgeek bundles ready and when I went to checkout it sold out.


Looks like I'm just not meant to get a NA unit. Luckily I got my German Amazon preorder in months ago.

Fuck Tai Ding.

Gross as fuck.

 

[Algebrah]

ThinkGeek is trolling us at this point.

 

[Agent_Carnage]

Walmart and the like really need to update their shit. Make captchas to confirm orders and once you click add to cart it reserves the order for you. Then the shit that happened today would not of happen.

 

[Skeletron]

Trust me, I tried all of the rest. All sold out. This was the only one available.

I will post a pic when I get this fucking hat.

Hahahaha

This is all so tragically hilarious

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Gamestop's website is still down, but conveniently pointing you to ThinkGeek, in case anyone is wondering.

Guess the site won't come back up until those $300 bundles get sold.

is there an expectation that they will be on the GS site when they come back up?

 

[AtomicShroom]

ThinkGeek is trolling us at this point.

Wow so they're just bundling piles of unsold inventory to try and move it... just... wow...

 

[_Ph03n1x_]

I didn't get a email confirmation either, but I got an order number and you can look up your order here.

my order just populated on that site. was in the same boat as others with paypal and pre-approved payment but im feeling much better now that my order populated on the site.

for anyone who used paypal and didnt see their order number at checkout, go to your pre-approved payments in paypal and the order number should be there

 

[zulux21]

Can you share which extension you're using please?

I'm not using an extension.
I am using an auto clicker set at 4 seconds that I use with my idle games like realm clicker lol

I will note no f5ing is needed.

F-Five.

If they have that much unsold inventory that they have to bundle it in a super hot and rare item they really should rethink their business.

 

[outunderthestars]

Honestly I don't know why people keep suggesting lotteries. With the current system if you get one or don't it was on your own merits; if you don't get one from a lottery you just literally had nothing to do with it. You don't like autonomy?

merits? Seriously?

 

[Jigorath]

All the ThinkGeek bundles are now sold out.

Even the Mega Man one.

 

[Madame M]

I can't believe this is legal.

Now let me tell you about how Wall Street trading happens in TYOOL 2017....

 

[Lusal]

Pure luck

I got close with Target but ended in failure

Same...

Tried to seal the deal but the final point of sale asked me to re-enter my RedCard information. After what felt like 1 minute *POOF* it was removed from my cart.

an official retail scalping. this is sad. lol

[muteki]

Better than nothing but I'm left hoping either of my Walmart or Amazon UK orders actually ship. Target just doesn't like me and no way I'd actually catch it on TRU.

 

[PhoenixSFT]

Has anyone who ordered through ThinkGeek received a confirmation email yet? Not sure if they're normally slow at sending those out.

 

[Mysterious]

Wait, Target already went up??? What about Walmart??

 

[Sulik2]

Gamestop website will suddenly start working in the next five minutes.

That's some sad shit right there.

 

[jonjonaug]

Sold out in about 20 seconds

 

[bumpkin]

Wow so they're just bundling piles of unsold inventory to try and move it... just... wow...

It worked. All of the bundles seem to be showing up as sold out.

I'm not going to lie, I tried to stoop to a bundle and was going to just return the extra merch under the guise of "gifts" I received. Desperate times and all.

 

[molnizzle]

Wait, Target already went up??? What about Walmart??

Both already done. Took literally less than a minute.

 

[ASaiyan]

Now let me tell you about how Wall Street trading happens in TYOOL 2017....

Difference is, most of the securities that are auto-traded are not in limited supply, lol.

 

[Pontiaction]

You're correct, for the moment the Tai Ding bot gets shut down hard by captchas. They're trying to find a way to circumvent.

 

[Merchandise]

merits? Seriously?

You were up at the time of pre-orders going live / in the store / what have you, or you were not. You can say that because the website sold out in 20 seconds you had no chance in the first place, but a lottery completely removes your effort from the equation. I would not take that trade-off.

 

[Kusagari]

Wait, Target already went up??? What about Walmart??

Went up right at one and lasted literally 10 seconds.
