    Yep. Listing went live about midnight, but have been out of stock since they appeared.

    HTS is just trolling us. Everything is sold out. They just want to read freak-outs on message boards and see how many idiots they can get to waste a day F5'ing the whole day.

    Sigh. Didn't go on sale yet.

    How is anyone thinking they've sold out when they haven't even gone live yet?

    That... would be cruel. But funny.

    Its very deceptive. I didn't realize they would be listed as sold out when I got up this morning either. :(

    The point was that the annual tradition of a 400 page thread will once again be filled with tears, joy, and passion over collectible items.

    Really, it's just a love story.

    So HTS has removed the ability to store your payment information for faster checkout, or am I missing something?

    No, it's there. Just be sure you are already logged into the site.

    I just went for a test run by adding another item to the cart and I didn't have to re-enter anything. Double-check folks, or otherwise store your info now before things go haywire.

    I haven't been able to log into their site since they "upgraded" it, even after multiple phone calls and assurances that it'll work now.


    Should be a fun time trying to do this through guest check out. :lol

    They've done much better trolls in the past. Like when they had us refreshing for two weeks because they wouldn't give us the date.

    Crap, this looks like the case. Guess I'll have to work faster than usual this morning.

    It looks like you can save your payment info as part of the ordering process, but I couldn't get it to save without actually placing an order. I loaded an item into the cart, went all the way through the process until the final "Order" button, but the info wouldn't save.

    Exactly. I ordered a cheap something I wanted and pushed it through yesterday and it saved. Dirty that you have to do it that way.

    Annoying they didn't carry over all of our information when they redid their system, nor offered the option to add payment option under settings. Oh well.

    Wish there was an indicator that items are in stock without going into the item or clicking Add to Cart and hope the Insufficient Stock message doesn't appear.

    Just a bad site design
