    I just preordered the set to ensure I get him. If I find him elsewhere, great. If not, I don't have to worry about missing him.

    Sorry guys, this thing literally has a pattern of gone in 60 secs. It was actually instock on 6/23 for a minute too,
    I had it in cart, and gone in 10 seconds when I changed my payment method. Seriously, I can't even figure how
    some people failed to see there are definitely scalpers behind this situation.

    Yeah and they're using the bots because those are faster to check out with

    Can't the websites do something about the bots? Maybe they don't really care since they are selling the product. Sure is shitty and pisses off a lot of the customers.

    Really impressed how this set is gone so fast.

    Wonder if I will be able to get it.

    I get you man, but I also understand that the hate generated from the fact that scalpers get what you want before you.

    On the other hand, this feeling is how scalpers get the extra money from us...so don't give in, guys!

    Well one guess I am thinking is the 1 click check out on Amazon items. So if you are going to use a kindle or phone just tap the tab and it's done and paid for. I've used it before on things and it pretty quick. You really have to have your payment type already set and shipping addy already set too.
