That's when I was told the new system will notify a group of people from the top of the que for one conversion. If there were 2 conversions, then 2 groups from the top of the que would be notified. And they work down the list as conversions occur.

I didn't get to redeem my conversion because someone in my group already had bought the item. So Sideshow does still pick people from the top of the que in a first come first serve basis, but in groups rather than as individuals. It's not as random as one might think. Your spot in the que still counts, I believe.
This coincides with my experience though and shows why you may want to get off the list and back on or even get someone else to go on the waitlist for you.

If your name is pulled for group 1 but however many they had are gone before you get one then they may move on to the 2nd group the next time to give all those people a "chance" even though most may not get one.

You probably still have two more months before this one is gone forever. I had to Flex/extend and I am sure others have too, so thats about as far out as any remaining stock will remain viable, plus any return time. Some people think they have no shot and they dont consider the orders that people are still carrying.

My Poison Ivy came in. She is amazing. Definitely one of my favorite piece. So good in fact I'm no longer getting P1's throne piece.

Paid after market but worth every penny. I know my waitlist won't convert.

For anyone still holding out hope for a conversion, mine converted last night for the green variant. I don't recall exaclty when I jumped on the list.

Yep, people that extended this out to the max still have unpaid orders through the end of this month. Then there is a potential return window, so a conversion is not impossible.

Congrats, the green is so gorgeous! I have both of them (for the time being), and I definitely prefer the green.
