Whatever Hasbro brought...it wasn't nearly enough. And without knowing how much there was we can't know how good that news is. I mean, if they brought several hundred Castle sets and that many sold out in five minutes that's fantastic news. If they brought 100 sets and those sold out in five minutes then I'm not surprised. I guess what will be telling is how fast they sell out tomorrow. If it's in five minutes again then I'm betting they didn't bring very much at all. Hopefully everyone at the Con that wants the stuff will be able to get it by Sunday.

BTW, I got word to truth that the site was problematic. The hosting company should be on it pretty quick.

From the delay in response, I figured that we'd just managed to slashdot the site ourselves, then I saw the server errror and realized we'd done better than that...

Hasbro learn??? From past mistakes??? From poor distrubution problems??? From lackluster marketing???

Hasbro learn, I think not.
