ha ha ha ... funny stuff Freediver!!!

CG

Well...I think I got one after a scary 7 minutes. The website meltdown was on a different level for this one! :eek:

Got it after 6 minutes. Wild!


Haha. It’s still available now that the site is normal. Good job DLT (I think :) )

11 minutes and literally dozens (100s) of errors and reloads! My order does show in my account thank goodness.

It took me 12 minutes to check out but I just got one, don’t give up hope yet.

Holy crap, I think I got one. Got booted out of checkout like 4 times. Some serious server traffic on this one!

Showing out of stock now

Got one in the first minute.I operated on Greenwich time.

Got one! That was one of the most intense purchases I've ever made.

OOS AT 1114.

Took me what seemed like ages to get it to work, but I got one. Apparently right in the nick of time, too!

Hit the Place Order button and OUT OF STOCK.

Yeah... I tried, but their website was working about as well as TKJ's was during their exclusive DLC CruWear release.... hmmm

If you have nothing better to do this afternoon you can just try to randomly refresh the page every so often and see if they come back in stock. For a lot of these drops it seems like some orders get cancelled either due to credit cards being flagged as potential fraud, or the dealer cancelling orders they believe are duplicate orders from people trying to game the system. This will cause the knife to go back in stock for a shirt time until someone notices and scoops them up.

I gave up after about 13 minutes but then suddenly the page reloaded with the order number. I may have been about the last to get one.

Well, I think I got one! That server had some crazy traffic. I was kicked out of each step of checkout a few times.

I was able to get one but only after refreshing the page five or six times. Not quite as difficult as trying to score a Northwoods when they drop but close. :)

Same here. Went from cautiously optimistic and relieved to disappointed to frustrated about 10 times, then all of a sudden, I was just suddenly surprised.

I got all the way to end of checkout and then it repeatedly failed to finalize my payment info. Now it's showing as out of stock. This is ridiculous.

Moar Purple G10!
