    Window went from 1 minute to 27 minutes at noon. Ugh!

    The time before noon isn't the wait time, it's the time until the coin release

    So, you can't refresh, have to wait the entire process: coin release wait time plus the wait time after release?

    It can't be. I'm still in 54 minutes of waiting room to get my 10 minute window of ordering time...

    And they say this method is better than the old crash and burn where you actually had a chance... A frustrating chance but at least a chance. Had it not been for subscriptions, I had no chance to play, just sitting is a waiting room that now says 52 minutes.

    You think they could update and close the waiting room for those that can't leave or refresh and are wasting their time hoping.

    fyi, my subscription of three has shipped, so no reduction on those....

    This is VERY surprising, given the relatively low mintage and the HHL. Something is definitely not right when some people can get 3 by subscription, other are limited to 1 by subscription, still others have to fight their way through a waiting room to buy, and many, many others get shut out.

    In the past, they always reduced the subscriptions to whatever the HHL is on release day. I guess they now have a new sheriff, and have chosen to reward the early birds, along with, as always, the Big Boys, and screw everyone else.

    I did also. I kept hearing how it wasn't possible but my feeling throughout was that I'd wind up receiving 3 after all.

    The subscriptions don't seem to actually be communicating with the rest of the site. It let me place an order despite having a subscription

    As I said, I think it's broken.

    Yeah, well, if you can't get in, you can't get in. Doesn't matter why you want to go in. Just wait a few minutes. Now that they are sold out, the waiting will clear pretty quickly.

    Sure. But this is not what has happened in the past nor what is supposed to happen. We weren't basing it on idle speculation. The site clearly has a broken link as it is not applying any subscriptions to the HHL as it should. It let me make additional purchases despite the subscriptions.

    I knew something with subscription HHL was wrong because my experience was they corrected and lowered the quantity in your subscription before they went to processing.

    Apparently. It also let me bypass the waiting room twice.

    So, I managed to skip the waiting room and exceed the HHL. The people cheering the breakdown are going to be less happy when the defect hurts them nstead of helps them. Looking at you, Honey.

    The people who couldn't get in today should be mad at me and @HoneyMarket and the Mint for allowing us to violate the HHL. As soon as Honey is done dancing, he might consider that.

    I had one from a subscription. If I can get on and I order one I wonder if it will ship.

    If you get one from a subscription and are able to order 1 today do you guys think they would shop both?

    I wonder when the household limit will be removed for 0730 releases.

    Yup. We can only go by what they have done in the past. If that means nothing, as apparently it does not, we might as well just shut the board down, because absolutely anything can happen, no one knows anything, and there is nothing to talk about.

    The HHL will be removed for 7:30 releases on Saturday.

    As far as them shipping purchases made today in addition to subscriptions goes, who knows at this point? They shouldn't have shipped 3 on the subscriptions, but they apparently have.

    They should purge orders placed today in excess of the HHL, which would include subscriptions. Will they do that after shipping 3 on subscriptions? TBD.

    What's the difference now? Either you'll get them or you won't. Don't pre-sell them until you have a shipping confirmation in hand.

    So, the Mint ain't getting anything back from me!

    Haven't lost my respect. (not that you needed it) It seems like if you had an order of 3 in prior to the date they reduced to HHL of 1, they may have left you alone and shipped 3. After all, wouldn't that make them look bad? LOL!!!!!!!!
