NEW PRODUCT: HOT TOYS: STAR WARS EPISODE III: REVENGE OF THE SITH™ ANAKIN SKYWALKER™ 1/6TH SCALE COLLECTIBLE FIGURE

Mark, did you RSVP twice, separately, etc? Or did you forget to click on reload?

I’m using two different devices (an iPad and an iMac). My iPad seems to have a better chance. I hope sky reports if she gets one…

i just tried in a different browser and it's a different number, obviously the one i opened now is a way higher number.

I read somewhere not to reload. I haven’t been and I’m watching the numbers drop.

599 on iPad 9635 on iMac.

Well she already had a lower number, so hopefully yes. Of course, I'm sure there are others here (maybe ones that don't say anything) that want it just as badly.
Perhaps the two different devices end up in different queue numbers due to different IP addresses. My wait time is down to 33 minutes and the number is 2888. So apparently the RSVP thing does play a role -- even one's place in queue is supposedly randomized. We've learned something new today.

Got this message: 30% sold through.

the updates are nice. at 30% and about 1000 off queue, i think there is about 3000-4000

I was using the same browser in different tabs -- even getting into the Sideshow website took a short queue, but clicking on this product for pre-order gave me the same thing I was already seeing in my previously opened queue tab.

Price seems to be 410 which is much better than that joker figire for some unknown reason. Good though

I was just going to ask if anyone actually saw the price. Yes, not as scary as one might have imagined.

Down to 295 and 3 minutes. I’ve heard people are getting kicked out after hitting the purchase button.

Well, they did say "this is where the fun begins"!
Good luck.

50% sold out.

I think that's about the price of the WW, pretty good price compared to the joker

75% sold out by 9:30 (i.e., in 15 minutes)

Sky! I got one for you!!!!

yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations, Mark and Sky, or just Mark (in case Sky already got one for herself). Looks like it was just in time.
They say "We are very close to selling out. The waitlist will be available upon sell out" (9:33) and the wait line disappeared even if my number went down more.
EDIT: now officially sold out (9:34)

Congrats again -- but weren't you ahead of him in the queue?
The estimated wait time resumed, despite the sold out... maybe this is for signing up on the wait list now...

I just entered out of curiosity. I startet at 7200 und finished at 6315 lol

Don't know why it was sooo slow for me, I even entered RSVP on the first day. 
Well congrats on getting one!!

Me too. I RSVP'd yesterday and had a better number when it sold out. They really did randomize them. I'm not entirely sure it was entirely fair to the people who theoretically wanted one so badly they jumped on it first.
At $410 I probably would have bought one if I had the chance, but I can live without it and this was mostly out of curiosity. I've RSVP'd for the "Death Star Trooper" and wanted to see how it would work out. Of course, that one is not Anakin and no rolling eyeballs etc., so I imagine there would be much less competition.

I’m just glad I got one for Sky. Always happy to help folks get a Grail figure.

I really do wish ill for Howard and Sideshow for this sort of eBay style lottery.

yes it sucks to hear that some were kicked to the back of the queue due to technical problems. If you need to verify address or payment, you will get kicked out of queue

Ditto.

Good to know. They really should have foreseen this.

Yeah that artificial limiting of figures is real bad. Just do a 2 days preorder window and see how many want it and then produce that many. No lottery system. 

Luckily it wasn't a grail for me but still feel annoyed by that system and feel bad for all the real fans who wnated one for non-ebay prices.

Ha. So I kept waiting to get put on the waitlist, and when it redirected me to do it, it told me "
Your queue number is no longer valid
Queue numbers are only valid for 10 minutes. Unfortunately, your queue number has now expired."
Yep, they are bastards.

i got 10 mins still before i can waitlist! heheh. I do agree with you Valiarde, they should have a window. I personally don't mind if I have to wait if it's a larger production line and takes longer.
