lol..you beat me to it Punit.
I just posted the same thing over at the 'Hot Deals' forum because they will be having a $150 HP Photo Printer available for $9.99.
Anyway, by my reckoning this 'POTA' deal will happen at 5pm ET tonight. Judging by the clues and the way they have the iotems lined up, it appears as if it is going in the order shown.
But, best check every hour to be safe

Yeah, I remember not getting the DD deal at the time because I was sure it would be cheaper at some point, but then it never was so I figured I chose wrong, but now maybe not.

Jeez! It sold it in seconds! I don't get how that's possible. As soon as the sale went live I added it to my cart but nothing happened! Then my page refreshed saying 96% sold so I clicked "Add to Cart" like crazy and nothing happened and then it said 100% sold. How the heck did I miss out on it? Was there some sort of secret technique I should have utilized to ensure I got it? Damn... sucks... Oh well, that big head would have never fit on my shelf anyway. Hopefully the POTA people will do the same thing the Battlestar Galactica people did when they released the giant Cylon head and re-release the series in better, smaller packaging. Argh!

Damn - That didn't last long! I had forgotten about it, but logged in at 8:10 EST and all were claimed. I was still somewhat debating whether to get it (mostly due to cash flow this time of year).

It's the internet equivalent of those radio contests from way back when. 
"Caller number 107 with the phrase that pays wins today's jackpot/concert tickets!!!"

Did you use 1-click order? I got a Wii that way once.
EDIT: I don't know if 1-click works with Lightning deals

Eh, it'll go on sale for $59.99 by the end of the year. If not, oh well. That monkey face still creeps me out, and I know if I was to walk through my place late at night, and that thing sitting on a shelf, I'd scream like a little girl, trip, fall, and curse its name.
