Yep, I started refreshing the page right on time and it kept showing $16.99 for the price for a couple minutes no matter what I did. Finally it came up with the $9.96 price and I was 500+ on the waiting list. Ridiculous.

EVERYTHING today has been crazy. The LEGO deals seem to be sold out in under a second... how can anyone get them that fast - let alone everyone...

Wait.. are you guys trying to access the LD from the actual product page!?!? That's the ABSOLUTE LAST PLACE to do that for hot ticket items.
Go through the BF LDs page.

The lightning calendar just like it did with the two movies I got yesterday. Skyfall had the same issue but backing out and trying again worked. Monsters U stayed at $18 something the entire time.

This, a thousand times this. The LD page has a clock countdown and everything. I would never try to snag a LD from the product page. I've never lost out on a LD I wanted, including Monsters University.

You'll get one. Just be ready to add it to your cart immediately. The wait list deadline is only like 3 minutes.

Whatever happened to the wait list box that kind of gave you play by play of where you stood on it?

Is there a way to view your place in the waitlist?

That's how I've been refreshing and hoping for LEGO sets, and fully eight have each gone from not live to 100% claimed.

Got Monsters University (BD/DVD version) after being wait listed.
I actually clicked on the deal right when it started and was pissed I didn't get it. I had no hope that I would actually get it after being wait listed, but fortunately I did!
Success with DJango yesterday and Monsters U today.
Good luck today everyone!

Also caved for Star Trek ID at 7.99, and got the Now You See Me LD for 9.99, but now it looks like it's at that price anyway.
Missed the Django LD but now it appears to be 9.00. Haven't caved yet.

I actually got on the MU Combo Wait List twice, just to see how long it was.. it was over 500 people both times. I still got the chance to add it to my cart and get the deal.
If you got on the wait list early or even 10 minutes ago, youre good.

I bought Pacific Rim yesterday morning for 7.99, then got in on the Lightning Deal and was able to cancel that part of my order even though it was being prepared for shipping.
Also caved for Star Trek ID at 7.99, and got the Now You See Me LD for 9.99, but now it looks like it's at that price anyway.
