Trouble getting on the Sideshow website

[MONSTER]

Is anyone else having trouble getting on the Sideshow site?

[geto10]

Yes!

I think it's cause of the Obi-Wan 12' Priority Pre Order.. They are having some technical issues, I think. :)

I'm also having trouble getting on their website

[RedHinske]

I was just able to order it. :buttrock: Edition size of the exclusive is 1977.

[Hellboy]

Every time I try to "purchase" the figure it gives me a software error message?? Anyone else receiving this message? I've never had a problem like this in the past. :confused:

[Trilogy]

Its always the same when a PPO is up.

[MONSTER]

Still can't get on. I didn't realize the 12 inch figures were that popular.

i ordered two for a couple of my homie friends but for some reason it didn't like Firefox on Linux. i had to jump an OSX mac laptop. what's up with that???

[Hellboy]

This is BS!! :mad: I can't get the item in my cart and I've tried both Firefox and IE. :confused:

i just logged in to Sideshow's website after reading RedHinske's post and placed my order without a hitch. keep trying hellboy and monster. i think you just have to keep reloading the page until it works. btw, i'm using Opera.

pixar, how'd you order 2. the limit is 1?

i used Firefox and Safari on OSX.

i ordered two using different accounts. they don't belong to me. just helping out since they either can't login or are away. i don't collect 12" figures.

It took 8 minutes for the PPO login screen to come up and then I kept getting the certificate errors in checkout, finally after 20 minutes I got a confirm number.

1-800-474-3746 is the customer service number.

[cap70]

This is the best SW 12" figure yet, awesome likeness!

[P1X4R]

Thats exactly what I got. Thankfully I had somebody I could call to purchase it for me because it wasn't going through on my work laptop. :mad: Hope this isn't a problem with tomorrows Scout Trooper PPO.

[MONSTER]

I still can't get on the site. I hope this doesn't happen tomorrow with the Bikerscout.

I really hope not.

Why didn't they make this one part of their "Inclusive Editions", it would have avoided all this error garbage.

Any one remember when the last time they used the Inclusive Edition. They gave it a big push and I think the only one it was used on was the Darth Maul 12' figure.

They made a really big deal about it and then nothing.

Its good to know it wont crach tomorrow due to the use of extra servers.
Are they really expecting that much traffic though for a $800 piece.

[Bullseye]

I rang SS. The staff over there were very helpful. I explained my circumstances (to lazy to get up during the middle of the night) and they allowed me to order the Biker Scout earlier today...

Jabba was the last and only other Inclusive I remember other than Maul. Not sure why they abandoned the idea. Seemed to work pretty well IMO.

Got my order inover the phone after about 30-40 mins and 4 hangup's:( ...sure hope Fridays ordering is better.
