I really want this figure. I only have 1 Sideshow figure as of now but this figure is awesome looking and I know its going to be difficult to get once it sells out. It really sucks that it dosnt go on sale till 4pm (atleast for me anyway) because I have to be to work at 4 but it looks like I willl be calling in and saying that I will be late. Now I just need to think of a good excuse.

Ajmets - I am using the first link that you posted. I just leave the page up and keep refreshing it. Sideshow told us to use that page, so.. I'm guessing that's the right one.

I got one! I got one!!!! I almost had a stroke with all the waiting and thinking I wasn't going to get one! They said they had 125 available which is more than the 10% they said would be available so I'm happy about that. I hope some of you others were able to nab one too! The exclusive that was listed for the 2 pm eastern time was sold by 2:12 when I clicked on that link just to see what the page looked like for an item that was available. I'll be curious to see how fast the Oz one goes. He comes with a skull pedestal. I wish they showed the picture of it. I'm wondering if they mean a pedestal to put Spike's skull accessory on or if the pedestal has a skull design in it! I am just so excited!! I almost cried when I saw that verification number pop up!! I have dial-up and once I clicked the purchase button it took forever to go to the next page and then it again took forever to go to the final page! I had visions of a page popping up laughing at me saying "Ha, you are too slow - better luck next year!"

OMG! I just tried to check on it and in less than ten minutes after it went up for sale they have a "sold out" page up! Now I definitely feel more than grateful and fortunate that I got one.

I keep posting as you are so I keep missing your last comment! I wish they'd say how quickly the sold out! But we know it's got to be, what, under five minutes? I didn't come right here and post because I wanted to make sure it was listed under "My Account" and then I had to check my e-mail too to make sure it was there (Okay, I'm very paranoid!). And my first post says it's at 4:09.

He sure did. I was clicking like every second when there was like a minute to go so I know they did not become available until exactly 4:00. I was even worried that they might have been allowing people to purchase them ahead of time over the phone when I had seen how quickly the previous item had sold out so I called them around 3:30 and was told that they weren't available until exactly 4:00. I bet anyone who tried to phone in their order at 4 were probably greeted with a message "By the time you dialed this number and got through to us the item has sold out!"

I missed out but I'm on wait list, what are the chances of getting one through that? It was like 9:04 and already sold out. Some people really are rabid, me included!

:'(I'm sorry This Year's Guy! Wow, sold out within four minutes! That's amazing - but it really sucks for you! Last year when they did the Angelus one I signed up for the wait list. They had a set time that they said they were going to contact people by and that came and went so I ended up buying one on Ebay. Then a few weeks later they e-mailed me and told me they had one available for me. So I'd say your chances are good but you may want to wait past the time they say they'll let people know. I think someone posted earlier in this thread that everyone they know who was on the Angelus wait list got one so hopefully that will be true for you too.
Edited to add: I went back to the page I had left up so I could look at him some more and I noticed it said I had one item in my shopping cart. It was the Oz figure still so I got all scared that something had screwed up because when I clicked on it, it had the "Waiting List" sign up stuff up. I then remembered that after I purchased it I had hit the back button a few times so I could go back and see if it came with any accessories so that must be what happened. When I logged out and then back in, it was gone. It is listed in my account items that I've bought and I did get an e-mail so it was just a little scare there for a second!

According to my computer's clock, he want up at one-minute to the hour, and had sold out by seven past. Got one, luckily . And I think you'll have a semi-decent chance on the waitlist, but it all depends on how many SDCC attendees buy. Kudos to Sideshow for offering more than 10%, though.

I'm very thankful that Sideshow offered us more than the 10%! Maybe they are more than aware of how many of these exclusives end up on Ebay and sold for outrageous prices! Gooball, maybe your pc clock is fast? It was exactly 4:00 on my pc clock because I was clicking away like crazy with refreshing pages.
