Yep, me too.  And the order page has reverted now to no picture of the bust.

Oh-oh.

Same here.  This could be good or bad.  Could mean they are sold out or could mean that all orders will be canceled and they will try this again at another date.   ???

Why the hell can't they get their system prepared for these orders?  They obviously know from experience that their is going to be a huge demand.  Bloody ******* hell.

Nice refresh on GG.

We're sorry, but the server is very busy helping other customers... please come back later!

"We're sorry... Yet again, we were completely unprepared for this.  If we didn't make such a nice product we'd have lost all of our customers a long time ago, but we're helping ones that fluked out and got through.  Please go **** yourself."

According to Philip Wise on RS, he got a responce from GG:

I just heard from GG.

The overwhelming traffic has crushed their fulfillment house's servers. Please be patient as they hope to get the system back up as soon as possible.


It seems some are now getting through placing there orders!  >:(

I got to the address window shortly after 9am, got my address info in and tried to go to payment window when it hung up...countless lasso errors and such, kept hitting refresh and the best thing...didn't kill the window to start over...that saved me.  Once GG took the trooper off the site...it must have freed up the server a bit because I hit refresh again and the payment window popped up and so on until I checked out with 1 trooper!

Did you get to the address window?  If not, I think you didn't get through...
