Mine was the same, even when reloading, based on the device I was using. Place #s ~300, ~1400, ~1900. Just purchased from the first queue. Of course it feels nice when you're one of the lucky ones but I still think this system is hot garbage. Both Hot Toys for keeping edition size low to induce FOMO and Sideshow for having a random queue for "fairness."

from 2 minutes to 5.

Watching people hop in front of me I guess.

I went from 11 to 33

EDIT: Now more than an hour

It is an awful, awful mechanic.

A clone like this works as an exclusive, they'll be demand for it but not Artisan Anakin type of demand, however, between the low edition size and this crappy queue system Sideshow puts out, the whole experience is just a nightmare.

Should just set a certain time to order the figure and set the edition size to that and ship it out 6-12 months later. Set it for like 48 hours or something and let people actually have a chance to get it, instead of getting lucky and being put at the top of a queue.

I closed the window and decided that I'll just grab my airbrush and paint up a Sideshow clone if I really want this color scheme... Good luck to those who play the game and have a better reason to purchase than "Those are Steelers colors!"

I was at 18 minutes and then it jumped to over an hour. I hate these digital queues/limited figures. Might as well just count on not getting one.

Line paused, is it over?

Line re-opened.

4600 in line for an edition of 1500. Yeah, this is nonsense.

On waitlist.

I never got an email even though I RSVPed for the heck of it. And yes, I checked my junk folder Just saw that it was going up on their Facebook post.

Damn I was close. Waitlisted with 1 min to enter.
