Grabbed Dollhouse at the end of its cycle and jumped on BTTF as soon as the little button popped up on screen. Both ordered and checked out.

Clicked to grab BTTF, then found I wasn't signed in! Signed in, now on the waitlist.

Mine hung at checking deal status for the first few seconds, so I opened a new tab and quickly navigated to the page again, worked that time. Picked one up as a gift!

Got in for this and Home Alone. First time ever trying to get one of these lightning deals.

YESSS!!! I got Back to the Future as well... I hit the "Add To Cart" button the second it popped up. It took a few seconds to check the deal status but it went through. FFEEEWW!!

I hit it as soon as available, but probably had 40 seconds of "checking deal status." My internet connection has been good all day. Even while it was checking that, I added something else to my cart, etc. We'll see if I get in.

Holy shit! 8:43 and I'm waitlisted? At over #500, no less? How many people got in there in the first three minutes?

Well, I was officially wrong. I clicked it as soon as it popped up...sat there for about 8 seconds, then it added it to my cart. I checked out in about a minute and reloaded the lightning deal page and they were all claimed. I really thought they were going to have a ton of copies of this for the lightning deal and thought it would go at least 10-15 minutes. I guess I was wrong.

Pretty sure this is more of a browser issue, I got tired of waiting after 15 seconds and opened a new tab & got it.

It shows the normal price, but if you look below that, there should be a "discount price". Go all the way up to the final page of checkout and you should see the lightning deal price reflected.

I somehow got BTTF even though I had to sign in after adding to my cart.
All this angst, and watch, it will probably be available for this price on a normal sale in the near future and I won't have even opened my copy yet.

Got 1 - clicked a few seconds after it went live, processed for about 10 seconds and checked out no problem. Will keep my B&N copy for gifting

Damn, I'm glad I was right on it as soon as the clock hit 0. I knew it would sell out fast, but not THAT fast.
