I think I might have processed two separate orders (haven't gotten any email confirmation). I actually only wanted one. Did they cancel orders with quantities of 2 or multiple orders last year?
They must have a lot more of these this year - I didn't get mine til 11:41.
I didn't get through checkout until 11:50. The first few minutes the site was molasses, and then a host of HTTP 503 and 504 errors once I tried to start checkout. Once those cleared up, the pages didn't fully load. I'd love to have sat on the phone with their web team while this was happening - I got to sit in on calls with Ford during their Super Bowl ads the last couple years, when their site experienced similar traffic. It was pretty enlightening.
Definitely concur with the "They must have more this year" analysis.

I have it in my cart, but everytime I try to checkout it loops me back to the main Shopping Cart screen.
Use a different browser. Firefox worked for me. Chrome didn't
Doesn't matter, after repeatedly hitting the checkout button it finally told me the item was out of stock and to remove it from my cart. So dumb.
I ran into the same issue. Kept losing secure connection to the server, having to resend the data. Got through all the steps and by the time I was able to click "Process Order" it says the item is out of stock. They really should plan better for these release times. There are probably a lot of people who are very butt-hurt right now.
Super dumb, the exclusives link I was refreshing didn't update to the new exclusives page so I didn't know they were up until the site was running so slow. Like others, had it in my cart but couldn't get through checkout in time with all the BS. I guess I can't get lucky 3 years in a row. It's too bad, I've been having the worst month in recent memory, this would have made things a bit better. I'll just have to buy a set off ebay like the rest of the world. Hopefully there were a lot of sets this year and the prices stay down.
Well chrome F'ed me out of these this year. Oh well, had to stop buying them at some point. The turn-around on them is weak this year and it's not like I'm going to play them in my standard decks. I'd just play the nicer version. Only thing I really wanted was the book, but that content is online, so not too worried there either. Good job to all of you that got a set. Congrats

The book is available on eBay for 20-25$ and is not a bad deal. I'm definitely keeping one.

It was actually your link that got it for me. I set the page to refresh every 15 seconds and alert me to any changes, ended up getting it in the first minute.
I probably wouldn't have gotten if without your help.
So, when should the multiple orders be cancelled and restocked?
Looks like last year, they didn't even do a restock - they had to devote all the "extra" that people had double-ordered to filling gaps and replacing defective sets. Two years ago, I think that it was a couple weeks between rounds? I don't remember.

It's an instant speed 5/5 trampler for 4. Wtf do you people want seriously? It has applications in populate/ above the curve beats decks, or in Bant control/ flash. I seriously think anyone mad at this card for any reason other than losing an attacker to instant speed wurm, should go home and make their own awesome card game and leave the rest of us alone.

They did do a restock last year. I had gotten my set through a restock about two or three weeks after the first online sale of them.
Wasn't there a limit posted in previous years? I don't see a limit anywhere this time?
I emailed them regarding the issues with ordering and if there would be a restock this time around. They said that they would be canceling any orders that went over their "strict limits" and those would be put towards a future restock in a few weeks. I'm not sure if this means that any one who placed multiple orders will have all of their orders canceled or if just the extra ones will be canceled, but if you did order multiples; I would suggest checking in on it as soon as possible rather than risking having both orders canceled.

I got mine on the "second wave" last year so it definitely happened. Looking at last years thread:
First wave: Aug 4
Second wave: Aug 14
So a ten day difference.

If the Vikings were around today, they would probably be amazed at how much glow-in-the-dark stuff we have, and how we take it for granted.

I must've missed that when digging through the last year thread. Thanks!

No shipping confirmation yet for my order (and it's just for the MtG set)...but I'm hearing about shipping notices with the other exclusives (Stormtrooper/TF/etc.), but none with the Planeswalkers...
Edit: Just got off the phone with HTS, and my order was on hold. Some sort of screening process about duplicate orders, just had to verify my info and it was all good. I know they are busy, but I got no notification that it was on hold... how long are orders put on hold before cancelled? If I didn't call, who knows if I would have gotten my order. The phone Rep was nice though, considering how many similar calls they've had to deal with in 48 hours.
Question for the floor: once you get the thing, what do you do with the packaging? It's really nice, but it takes up a lot of real estate in my closet. The book is on a bookshelf and the cards are in decks. I kind of feel like I should display SOMETHING in it, but I don't really know what/how (I was thinking the Mirrodin swords, because I like their art). The black sleeve with the flaming planeswalker symbol is so cool-looking, and utterly prevents me from showing off the cards themselves.
It's either that or just chuck it in recycling, but that seems like such a waste. Is there a way to at least convert it to a reasonable storage box (as opposed to a box that stores five cards)?

"One or more item(s) in your cart are temporarily out of stock. Please delete from your cart before proceeding."
