Must be getting slammed. My computer can't even open the website.

People are saying Chrome is funky but Explorer is slightly better with the 503 errors. 1 of each item limit or you'll have to dump your cart during checkout.

Both still in stock with little to no website issues as of right now.

Was able to get the Kreo PJoe set. Was debating on the Crimsion set, but just couldn't do it for just wanting Steeler and Grunt.

Both still available as of right now.

Danger at the docks sold out pretty fast last year if memory serves, so did they make more this year or is it just not as popular?

That was the VAMP mkII update.
These are new themes which unfortunately are not as popular. I'm sure it will still be there tomorrow.

I did manage to get the Book of Vishanti set.
I had ZERO 503 errors with Firefox. It was slow going though. As long as one didn't panic and just let it load you got through.

I think the price point is hurting the Skystriker set. $110 plus shipping is a lot for a Skystriker, a HISS Tank and 4 figures. Even with the new tooling, paint and fancy box that's still a big chunk of change. It all works out individually if you tally all the pieces up ($40 for the Skystriker, $20 for the HISS Tank and $10 each for the figures plus packaging) but all together the sticker shock might be turning people off.

The Kre-O set though is a surprise that it isn't selling faster. Maybe because its not the classic Sgt. Slaughter? I don't know.

I keep looking at the Crimson set but can't pull the trigger. I would rather buy the Animal Planet Yeti and Bigfoot sets along with the temple. It would be cheaper too!

The price is high, I get the per item price break down and yes it actually works out to what we'd pay on the shelf for 2 vehicles and 4 figures, however when my wife sees what I buy I can justify 6 boxes/packages for that price. 1 box and my wife will think I've lost it.

To be fair. It is a fairly large box. And it shows up in an even bigger box. Having something the size of a mini fridge show up at your door and explaining that is tough. Plus, you know, the Cobra deco on that Skystriker is pretty sweet. Sell her on that. ;-)

I had the chance to get everything, except the Dr. Strange set. I passed on everything. I couldn't justify it at all.

Yeah the boxes for both the Crimson Strike and Desert Duel sets are pretty huge. I think they are bigger than the TF crossover boxes from previous years. pluv isn't kidding about the mini-fridge size shipping box these come in. My Desert Duel from TRU came in a box 4 times bigger than the actual product. But man is that artwork sexy with a capital X.

Missed my delivery by seconds. Left the house for lunch, saw Fed Ex driving down the street. Came home to a door tag - signature required. Bummer. Now I have to wait till Monday.
