After I placed my information, it came up as:

Thank you for your order! Thank you for ordering from Gentle Giants! Bill to: Blah...blah...blah.

Gave me all the pricing information then:

You credit card has been approved an your order is awaiting shipment.

Meh, I didn't even get that. I just got another screen that said  "your cart is empty". But then what was my debit card charged for (twice actually, as I tried to put it through again with the same result, and now my bank has $100 on "hold" from my checking account). Great.

I keep getting in with precisely zero problems, if anyone needs help, I should be online for the next three hours or so.  Happy to place an order for you.

Gentle Giant finally got their heads out of their a$$es.  After 48+ hours of the start of this debacle, I was finally able to place an order the first time I tried at 10:30 am.

Add another fiasco to GG's long growing track record.  First the Blue Clone, then the Clone Pilot, now the Han bust.  I wonder how GG will screw up the next one at CIII?, WW?, SDCC? oh brother. ::)

Will they have a C3 Exclusive bust?  I don't really keep up with this line, but a C3 mini-bust, well that is one that I may actually stand in line to get...

Well, if they do, it will likely be limited so they'll probably run a lottery like they did at SDCC ::)  Maybe have some later for another online adventure?

As far as ROTS busts go, we'll have to see what they put out.  The preview busts I own are fairly selective so it would be a definite maybe.

Yeah, after 15 hours of on and off fruitless, agonizing misery yesterday, I popped onto GG's site this morning at around 9am, and placed an order with absolutely ZERO problems.  Everything worked just fine, not a single glitch.  It was almost like they were a regular website there for a moment...   :P

And that was after trying up until 1am (Pacific time) last night with the exact same bull**** results as the rest of the day.  So apparently the nightcrew busted their ass and got some **** fixed there late last night.  And I don't wanna hear this bull**** excuse that they were just "too busy" the whole day.  What a load.

Sounds like some folks are still having trouble, but overall, it looks like they've at least worked out some of the glitches so that there's far more "success stories" today than there were yesterday.

I wrote them a long and rather scathing e-mail last night, expressing my staunch disappointment with how they've handled things with this order, this line, and their Bust-ups line of late.  Not that it'll do much good, but at least I got it off my chest.

Now just send me my friggin' Han bust, and let's be done with this mess.  Until their next fiasco, that is - which should be at SDCC most likely.  I don't think they'll have any C3 exclusives...

Really?  That would be lame!  They do exclusives for WW and SDCC, but NOT Celebration 3?  I find it hard to believe that a company that is so into exclusives like GG is would skip a chance for a convention exclusive...

Well, I certainly haven't heard of them doing anything for it.  Not even rumors or anything...

Never know though, maybe they'll surprise us.  But I really hope they don't, 'cause the potential for another Blue Clone bust type of disaster could really ruin the overall C3 experience for a lot of attendees...   :-\

Han bust is still available.  I pity anyone that paid the $150 on ebay :o  Patience is clearly a virtue.

Yeah, I just received two of them. Guess they put both of my orders through  ::)

Oh well, no big deal, I'm sure I can talk my buddy into taking one of them.
