Really...? I'm looking at the items right now and they are all still showing full price. Do me a favor, in fact everyone who can: log into the site and tell me what you are seeing. Are you seeing them all at full price right this minute?

This info would be helpful to all TFW'ers who are trying to make a purchase.

 

Are you checking the Featured Products link? Per the club's Twitter, you're supposed to go there (I don't know if that was pointed out originally). Some people were still running into problems anyways though.

I've been able to see the discounted prices on my end by looking at items from Featured Products. I couldn't from other links.

 

Yup, I sure did and I'm still seeing all items listed at full prices even after placing them in my shopping cart. They are all listed as "Black Friday Sale" items though.

So yeah, the sites got problems...serious problems.

 

Per the Club's Twitter account just now:

UGH.

 

From the freaking club (just now)

..."We hope to resume the Black Friday Sale tomorrow. The server host is at capacity. We will add quantities of what we can due to demand"...

And what...WUT does that even mean? Were they blitzed and sold through (out). So some could randomely get in, get what they wanted at the listed prices, and get out? What about everyone else who was stranded at the starting point??? I was in the store as soon as the sale began.

These guys at the club are total ass-hats. The only thing that i can ever expect from these guys is the consistency of incompetence. Simply ridiculous.

 

Man, quite a mess. Its a bummer, i actually input my order and then fell asleep during the whole thing and woke back up to see that my order was still up but not processed.

 

Wow! I guess you really could call that a nightmare come to life!

But seriously, really NOT COOL. This stupid shit by Fun Pub really needs to stop. I'm kinda surprised that they were so brazen to even try this kind of flash sale stunt considering who they have on board writing code for them. Face it, these guys are no data tech wizards. They have proven that to us all time and time again.

Very tired of watching these guys churn out a ton of hype and then overreach themselves only to fumble the ball at the finish line. Its just sad. I mean, how hard should it be to order a few toys!? It's now 1:55 am in the morning (Eastern time) and I'm walking away now empty handed and a bit confused as to when or how my next chance will be.

 

I guess it doesn't matter now that the sale has been pushed to tomorrow, but this is what I saw from the "featured products" page:

 

Hmm, so oddly enough my order finally went through. It took quite awhile and I didn't expect it to work, i had to submit the order several times only to watch the screen slowly update and then either give me an error code or simply say that the server was not responding. However, I just got a screen saying that my order went through.

I was logged in a few minutes before the sale started and had items in my cart before the site slow down occurred. I'm not sure if that had any effect on my ability to eventually get through. Anyways, it's been a bit of a journey, but there may be hope after all. Good luck to everyone still trying!!

 

I'm still slowly chugging along too. It's a hassle when things don't work properly but I'm not doing anything else in the middle of the night anyway. I'm fat and tired from the day. Nothing beyond a real disaster is gonna bother me at this point.

 

It took two and a half hours, but I actually got my order to go through. Even got a confirmation email instantaneously.

I'm glad I got the stuff I wanted, but yeah that could've gone better. Hopefully other people that try tonight are able to get through now, and hopefully there are no further problems tomorrow.

 

Just completed mine as well. Congrats and good luck to others.

 

Looks like the site is back and running.

 

Took another stab at it earlier this morning and was able to score my "Old Snake and Bat Drones 3-pack". I'm content in knowing that I was finally able to "shop" but the headache I had to go through first to do so was disgusting.

 

If this is a test run of the server before Botcon registration goes live, this isn't a promising sign that the registration system has improved.....

Just sayin'.

 

wow these fucktards cant even do a Black Friday sale correctly.

 

I'm not signing up for the club to get that set with the two TF Prime Arcee molds in it, but that's a good price for just those two alone.


I've been wanting those two for awhile now, but I won't be getting them this way.

 

I keep wondering why can't FunPub or Pete do anything right?

 

*Wednesday* "Gawl FunPub sucks ass! I'll never buy anything from them ever again!!!" said the masses.
*Thursday* "OMG stuff that I want at a significantly lower price, all hail FunPub; take my money!" said the masses.
*Friday* "I can't believe I couldn't get exactly what I wanted when I wanted it, and how I wanted to get it. Screw you, FunPub I'll never give you money ever again!! You can't do anything right!" said the masses.

Jesus, people.  

On a side note I think the only thing that "sold out" was the Snake & BAT sets. And I think it took them the better part of yesterday to run out of the Black Friday allotment. I kinda wish I would have waited on getting the Legacy set. $130 is a much easier pill to swallow for essentially doubles (and triples) for some of those figures  
Grabbed a second Lio Convoy, though.
