The Hasbro Toy Shop rush came and went, and in typical HTS fashion, people probably grabbed for a beer, vallium, xanax, blood pressure meds etc afterward to relieve the stress or drown their sorrows. Did anyone have any luck? Anyone do well with preorders or BBTS and any other methods? Who scored at the show itself?

My wife and I scored:
2 Skystrikers (1 ebay)
1 Pink (I'm renaming her after the artist)
1 MLP

We timed out more times than I want to count; three times we had the browser completely crash after pressing the very last button. But after coming up empty handed last year, I didn't take chances with the Skystriker. I used to think Mattycollector was bad about handling rushes; though to be fair, HTS only does this mad rush once a year.

Spent 30 minutes refreshing trying to get both Zaranas....I got to keep my money

Got nothing, had the Skystriker all the way but I am not showing anything in my order page, also checked my CC and no charges there. Tried to go back and had all 3 Joes in my cart and got as far as the 3 checkout page when Skystriker went out of stock. Had to start over, and then after getting to the third page again CS Zaranna is out. Started over again and after getting to the finale confirmation page, Zaranna is gone too.

Tried calling HTS and they are "in meetings" and unable to take calls. No reply from my emails. I have had enough, I am done.

My buddy and I were trying to get stuff. He couldn't get through, but I was able to get through at work.

Got him a Starscream Skystriker and both Zarana's and got myself a pink Zarana.

Took forever to get through online though. Ridiculous.

this was bullshit

I lost everything. First the SS, then the death Star then followed by both Zaranas. I am pissed. Never been a Hasbro hater OR Hasbro toy shop but this event really sucks ass. All I wanted I had in my cart then the server crashed. DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After a lot of refreshes, I scored all of the Joe stuff. Both Zaranas and the StarStriker. I am happy as usual as I usually miss out on at least something.

After about five crashes on Step 5 in the checkout process, and entering all of my information over each time, I finally was able to grab the Skystriker. Almost the second my Skystriker order was complete, the Zaranas came online. That was about the same, five crashes in step 5 and finally it went through. I really feel for those of you who didn't get to finish the process. I know in years past that's happened to me before. Good thing is, through trades, ebay, etc, probably a pretty good chance to get the exclusives at a decent price. I consider the HTS prices to be a steal, almost to the point of winning something. The prices on ebay (as of this past saturday) seemed to be very reasonable and about what you would expect for someone to travel, spend time in line, pick them up, and ship them. I really hope all of you that didn't get it are able to pick them up without too much of a price hike.

My target was the Indy set and mission accomplished with the $30 off Groupon I bought a couple of weeks ago. I did go back and try to get Skystrikers for my friends and experience a lot of the same PHAIL that you all did.
