A minute sounds about right. I was never under the impression I got a copy. Once the cart page loaded and said I had ordered something that was sold out, I knew my chance had flown away.
They're obviously not, no...None of the Mod's/Contributors have been bothering adding the Hdzeta purchase Links
Yes I can add but most of the older threads now be no point as they been sold out a while
I will add the ones that are still available later tonight
I sleep during the day and work nights so a pre order going live in afternoon I'm not available unless it's a release I got out of bed for
It's to help members
Go set an example and add those purchase links for still in-stock items buddy 
And like @cooey said, it's down to HDzeta to provide said links for upcoming titles but they choose not to or simply ignore us. Not a lot else we can do unfortunately.
My point exactly. It was never €109.....
All of a sudden the $87 GB price looks like it was well worth the hassle .
I had decided to sleep in and pass on the release 
even though I thought 50 somewhat $ was too expensive for this, now 87$ ?? 
HDN Staff are nothing but Helpful ! Fair ! And dedicated to help its members as best they can ! There is no conspiracy
Oh My Gosh so much Drama

You guys are doing an amazing job here, @apsmith21. Never think that for every dissatisfied person there aren’t at least 100 satisfied users here who really appreciate all your work for us. You should all also live your lives without adjusting it to the forum.
To anybody who missed out on this release because they paid attention to and relied on the GB live time posted earlier in the OP.
I added that information (verbatim, slightly edited for clarity) in the OP, on Tuesday, May 1st, based on Xin's post.
What I didn't know, was that "GB at the same time" hadn't actually been pre-arranged with HDN folks who approve and activate GB threads. My mistake, and in hindsight, I should've known better.
As soon as I noticed Andy's post about the random time window, and was able to edit, I updated the timing in the OP but of course that information came way too late for many.
While the sincere intent was to provide visibility for useful information, that didn't quite work out.
With a severely limited release, a lot of collectors will miss out, that's a fact of life.
However, being in that situation feels especially bitter when one didn't even get a chance at the GB live time, because the advance timing information was not accurate. I get that, and I am sorry if you missed out.
For what it's worth, I missed out on this release, too.
I couldn't be in the GB forum at the exact time the GB went live ("snap, they were gone"), and at the HDzeta store I was busily F5'ing in the "Gold label" section when the product page went live, thinking it'd be quicker to refresh that page rather than the store's main page. Maybe it was quicker, but it certainly didn't yield any results

Yeah Imagine Pink Pantha Blufans
This hobby is becoming increasingly frustrating. No finger pointing, there are multiple reasons. For this particular release I missed out but it was mostly my fault. But it appears even if I had been prepared my chances would have been very slim.
I get it, life happens. And for what it's worth in the short time I've been here I'm proud to be a member and I'm happy to be here, I want to help the forum with my presence too, so much so I could have bought this edition quite a few days ago, I decided to wait for the GB here, more fun, I help out with my fees and I might even get a better deal. I am sorry if you're upset that this has been brought up, again. IMO it's not again, it's a completely different scenario than the few we've read this past week for reasons already stated. Same topic but completely different reasons. I've said my peace and I'm happy 37 members were able to get this. I'm not worried about having missed it, just in the way in which I missed it.The ONLY people that can set a group buy live are @Wreck, @digitalbabe, and myself.
So....
As I stated earlier. HDZeta does not run this forum. They are not allowed to dictate when listings go live, because...
*looks around*
The representatives for this group were neither online or present at the time.
I had a very important appointment to go to. Could not miss it. Arrived moments late and got a lot of hell for it.
So I am sorry that people rely on a time that is not set by staff and that we indeed have life outside of group buy live times that have to be
attended to that gets in the way.
I have asked over and over again to HDZeta representatives to be informed of go live times when they are announced. They do that for a time or two and then it doesn't happen. They just pick a random day and time.
I personally tried to contact the folks responsible for this listing DAYS ago, when I FINALLY saw this was supposed to happen, in advance. No response to any of my inquiries. Other people that are on this board also tried. Nothing on their end as well.
Not sure what you expect us to do - no one from their end is answering your questions, helping you determine if your payment went through OK, working with you to make sure your experience with their product is excellent...
And yet a lot of HDN folks are getting an awful lot of hate on this board.
Honestly, it really just breaks my heart to see how we've devolved into this circular discussion on this forum. Really, really sad.
That's my feeling too cooey, I don't know what the history is with HDZeta and HDN why the situation changed or when it did, I wasn't around. Overall it's a sucky situation for everyone, even for HDN staff I imagine.
Lesson learned, but just that we're clear I did my homework too. I was online this morning for a while, I didn't see a change to the OP, that happened when I had both my hands deep in water cleaning fish tanks while I waited for 16:00. I even told Siri to set an alarm for 15:30, and she did it. I also got an email notification the GB was live. That notification came before Siri had had the chance to warn me of the 30 min countdown. So you see, it's not a question of me having my head stuck in the clouds, I subscribed, I read, I even read 16:00 was the time. What I didn't know was that sometimes having a GB time means little, at least for HDZeta GBs... that is what I'm requesting HDN get involved in, either correct info for GBs or no info at all because it's misleading, that's the only thing HDN is responsible for IMO. Had there been no info posted this past week I would've been online just as you were.
Another one bites the dust Deep down, I knew I was going to miss out. Just glad I already had the gold label release.

Changed my mind and managed to snag it. Price and time not ideal but all said and done it looks to be a great piece. Doc Strange will have to wait a while 
thanks @apsmith21, @cooey and the gang for all you do to make the GBs run smooth, I had no issues whatsoever.
