Odd stuff that ordering process.  I'm a bit on the slow side, so took a bit to figure it out.  It actually, really, truly tells you when to reorder.  So if it says try again in 5 minutes (or 10 or 13...) then do so and click on the return to page highlighted text.  Keep clicking as the time gets nearer.  I did get booted after one session of about 12 minutes, but just had to wait my turn again. 

Expensive damn week.

Looks like you have to be fast Brent, "Temporarily" means that the product has been added to someones shopping cart, but they have not checked out.

Others are waiting too on this as it looks like it pops up 1 at a time.  ::)

Edit, ya got it figured out Brent.  :P

So far no luck for me.  :P

Just a note, my Airborne Trooper is in the city. It may arrive today.  8)

Success!  ;D  8)

Seems to be working fine now, I added 3 of them to my cart after I ordered 1. I delete those.

Go Brent go!

I got mine.  Makes for a bloody expensive month though with the Rentz, Airborne, Galactic Marine and a couple of maquettes.   :o  But all products I wanted for a while, at retail or less.  Much, much less in one case.  At $70 I didn't want the Luke maquette.  At $18 I couldn't say no, especially since I was getting the Han they didn't have earlier anyway.  But I digress.

Got my order in for Renz last night.  No real issues for me in terms of ordering.  Plus I got my shipping notice from SWShop for the Airborne trooper.  I'm having a tough time remembering just how long ago I placed that order.

Turns out I got my Airborne ship notice too.  Before I got my response to the request to cancel the order that I submitted several days ago ::)  Yeesh.  I may have a couple of spares of this bust soon.

I wasn't sure if I ordered the Airborne from SWS since I didn't get a shipping notice and going to my order page I didn't see anything listed recently ordered (the last being the Comic Con Shadowtroopers) so I order one at GG.  Monday I got a box from SWS with two Airbornes so I will have spares as will.

Got an email today that I managed to cancel my order, so I'll only have the one.  ANyone needs one, ask Tom (I think) or watch sws.com as they should have some more to put up at some point.

I'm going to break down and order Renz, but I'm not happy about it.  I'm getting hit with state sales tax too, and $10 shipping (I know, it's worse for international buyers), and this bust is $10 more than they usually cost anyway.

When a new regular bust comes out I get it for $46 even at the local toy shop.

I'm paying $81.12 for this one.

I think we're even getting charged tax on the shipping.

Sucks.
