Well, I have a confirmation for one of each Joe item. $25 for shipping, plus $13 and change for tax (found that odd) plus whatever duties I'll be charged. Yikes. Expensive day. Would have liked to get one more pink Zarana for the little bro but at that price it would be difficult to open.

trust me when I say you guys got a steal with the prices you are paying for HTS.com, going to the con is way more expensive.

Had starcream in my cart for 40 solid minutes.

By the time I was able to get to the last step of check out, SOLD OUT.

I'm seriously bummed.

After I got me Starscream I went back and manged to score both Zarana figures. Same as with Starscream, 1 per house.

I had 4 google chrome windows open and 2 Internet Explorer windows on my work PC and a laptop I was rebuilding also had IE running. That and due to the nature of my job (IT support, remote managed clients servers, etc...) we have screaming fast internet here.

Hammering each link again and again was the only way I was able to get my stuff and as soon as I got Starscream I bought it on the spot, without waiting for Hasbro to load the other stuff because they have a check out system that will not "hold" on item in your cart.

Basically when they give you your conformation number, then you know you are good to go.

For the record IE sucked. I didn't have time to load firefox but google chrome was the only thing was able to hit any pages.

I managed to get Starscream and both Zaranas into my cart... then the server went kablooey.

In the end, I didn't end up with anything.

Well that was fast.

Both my orders are in. Sure shipping cost $235 per order, but at least I got top notch shipping  ;D

Now the question, do I open Starscream or leave him boxed? The Zarana's are staying MOC as the cards and bubble are what I personally would call 10 out of 10. Starscream / C.C. on the other hand is a dinged on the corners. Probably 8 - 8.5 out of 10.

Seeing has I have no room to display the jet right, I think he's going to stay in the box (for now).

Received my shipping notice this morning and then a couple hours later they arrived. That was quite a surprise. The shipping box was in terrible shape but everything inside was great. They sent via Fedex so I didn't get charged taxes/duties thankfully.
