Just woke up and made it on the GB 1 click. Close call

 

[C.C. 95]

Isn't that what most of us just did to get into the GB?
I really don't see the difference between a GB and a webstore preorder..

Site was slowing down, many missed out, GB opened too early, lots of negative comments. What's exactly the service we pay for?

There have been maybe 3 GBs on this site that have had a land rush like this one. Otherwise, 98% of GBs are open for weeks.

Decided to refresh early. The site was really bogged down and then I see a thread with 15 posts and 14 replies. It was hard to get that page to load. When the "quick reply" box finally shows up, I paste and hit "post reply." I thought everything was OK but either I missed the button or the site did not take it. So after hitting it again I was in the 40s for a leather slip. Wish me luck!

I'll wait for the GB OP to update to see if I made it. If Aniv cancels the "ninjas" to took both a one click and leather, I should be OK. Let them keep their one-clicks of course. These ninjas can thank me later.

Good Luck

 

[HOBBS]

Happy to see my name on the list for the leather slip! Thanks again @Aniv

 

[texansfan26]

What doesn't seem fair is one click buyers being able to get a additional leather version, It'd be ok if there were 100 copies but 30? Let's not be greedy and give others a chance, Anyways congrats to those who got one,

 

[BluSteel2012]

Not holding out much hope, but I'm on a wait list.

Hoping for some good news before site release........

 

[WKRP]

After all that I'm second on the waiting list. I'd have one if the Post Reply button worked the first time. : /

I think Aniv will find a way to help out a few more ninjas. He has connections @ manta.

 

[Maximus15]

GB should not have been open early, however from experience I checked a few minutes early. Maybe others that this effected will learn from this even if it does not happen again in the future

Agreed that people who went for the 1-click should not have been allowed to secure another leather slip. This was not the point of allowing the slip to be sold separately! @Aniv honestly I would remove those that have a 1-click and additional slip from leather list and offer it to those that were next on the list, it's just not fair. Or at the least take this feedback on for mantas next release

@Steelselecta yup my wife's gona beat the sheet out of me too

Each steel is $3 or $4 more than buying direct off manta.To me thats a small price to pay to secure what you want.
Rather pay that than extra $25 or $30 on ebay when this sells out.Look how fast kimchi's edition went out of stock.And that was WWA and nothing much else in full slip.
If it wasnt for this forum then alot of us would not have certain steels in our collection.Small price to pay for the service we receive and steels you want.
And that small fee is what keeps this going

...and you're probably being conservative with saying $25 or $30 markup on ebay. I think it will be much higher than that. (I have been on the wrong end of that decision before....)

Your probably right.Kimchi's edition is on the rise.
Im glad i've gone 1 click on this.Love the film so im happy with my choices

Shouldn't and won't happen this time but you're right, they should think about changing it for future GBs.

 

[metalpaul1000]

I understand the frustration of the GB opening early but i knew this was a very high demand Steel. I was ready ten minutes before the GB. Remember this site is run by people who have jobs and families. I secured a one click as i am at work on the day it goes live at Manta.The additional $ per steel is a small price to pay to secure a copy and not have the stress/disappointment of missing out on the day. Not everyone is going to be happy. Even if the GB was open on time there would have been ninjas who would have missed out due to server slow down because of the increased traffic.

 

[BluSteel2012]

Who ultimately decides who gets what?

Is it down solely to the GB host or does the retailer have a say?

 

[cooey]

I had a whole reply set out then.....but I'm not gonna waste my time

 

[BluSteel2012]

On the site the leather is $46.99. In the GB $51.45. That's including the Paypal fees also right?

 

[Familyguy824]

It won't effect me any because I'm too far down the waiting list but I also agree with others here, 1 click + 1 leather shouldn't be allowed and something should be done about that.

 

[hal9000b]

Didn't ordered that one but read all comments with interest. One opinion from a innocent bystander: opening the GB minutes before told is a no go. Totally unfair. There are people who havn't got the time (work, family, partner,...) to sit in front their computer half an hour before the opening and hammer F5. I think some scalpers which earn money with selling items from the GBs are happy the way this GB went online.
The leather slip had a very low stock. So there shouldn't be the possibility to buy a One Click and a second leather slip. I think the second FS will subsidise the One Click.

 

[BluSteel2012]

One thing I've noticed on this latest discussion about the Group buy is the members from the USA think they are great as it really doesn't cost a lot more in fees, postage etc but members from other countries are becoming increasingly more unhappy/frustrated due to higer costs.
I don't participate in GB's a lot on this site (other than FAC) as they are generally more expensive than anywhere else and when there is no option for direct shipping the costs can be astronomical.

For this release there have been many group buys open via different sources, here and social media.

I'm going to try my luck direct as I'm not interested in paying someone else to ship my item(s) when Manta Lab can do it perfectly well enough themselves. I won't be upset or blame anyone else if I don't get a copy (even though a group buy isn't necessary for this release) as this film was only OK in my opinion.

I might be wrong but I think we all pay the same HDN/Paypal/postage fees regardless of what country we live in.

U.S. members only gain if the host is from the U.S. as they woulnd't be forking out for international shipping on top (and that's only when NOT shipped directly from retailer)

But, agree with you. There's so many GB's now that it's getting as stressful as ordering direct IMO!

More GB's (and I'm not just talking about here, I'm talking other places also) means more of the print run is being used up each time. Meaning every attempt is getting harder and harder to get what you want.

 

[lgans316]

In fairness I think that's all it cost per item for this GB.

On the site the leather is $46.99. In the GB $51.45. That's including the Paypal fees also right?

I think so but still it is way too high that's why I try my luck elsewhere (FAC being an exception). Every little helps for me.
