Do you want us to crash their servers again?

wickedliquids · 08-22-2019, 10:46 AM

They're still having problems. The rewards points are all gone. My guess is they'll roll back the server and rewrite the part that screwed it up. Wouldnt suprise me if they did a surprise delayed release like they use to do, back when they would put it in store, but would announce it 3 hours later.

wickedliquids · 08-22-2019, 10:47 AM

Yup, they took the servers back down

OneBuck · 08-22-2019, 10:48 AM

I originally had no intentions on buying any of this new stuff. Trying to get FOTL football last season gave me enough stress, so I swore it all off for vintage for the time being. Hobbies are supposed to relax you, not give you high blood pressure!
This is a lot more fun when you don't really care about getting a box. It's almost comical how bad Panini handles these releases. I have a slow day at work, so I figured I'd give getting a box a shot with no real expectations. This is by far the worst one I've seen to date.

wickedliquids · 08-22-2019, 10:48 AM

And they took the product out of the order page.

nabzy28 · 08-22-2019, 10:49 AM

They're gonna stealth release it on Upper Deck's website.

I sort of had the same thing (about 20 min ago), but I think it crapped out since I somehow had added 3 to the cart.

chugga15 · 08-22-2019, 10:49 AM

Panini could kill two birds with one stone by making FOTL a panini points product.

It was. I've been part of most of the big ones for the past few years and this one is the cherry on top. The Marquee F'up. If they gave awards for dipnizzle web apps, they'd get it. In fact, they should change their company name to PaNewbie.

wickedliquids · 08-22-2019, 10:50 AM

They're server reset time is taking between 4 to 8 minutes. They're going to be working on this all day.

Vintage Collector · 08-22-2019, 10:50 AM

Am I wrong to say that BO should not advertise their bounty until the day after release.

That may filter out some flippers.

RTab619 · 08-22-2019, 10:50 AM

Horrible idea, this will ensure ONLY bots get them

I wish there were better alternatives than Panini for Basketball and Football. They have the worst customer service and customer experience, but because they've cornered the market they can treat the customer like crap continually without repercussions.

GeechQuest · 08-22-2019, 10:50 AM

So I just wrote Panini an email about how my son in Sims 7 is dying of cancer and his one final wish was to open at least 12 boxes of THIS PRODUCT. Unfortunately, because of the server crash, we will be unable to attend the next online release but if they would be so kind as to send us a care package we ultra promise not to resell these for BANK and all cards will be stored in zip-lock bags and put in the freezer until the coming warming thaws them for future post-apocalyptic settlers.

Wish me luck!

I believe that one post single handedly killed this release for 10am...now over the weekend they will re-tool their bots and we all lose.

eastbayak · 08-22-2019, 10:52 AM

Hahaha, the day can only get better for all

TheYoyo · 08-22-2019, 10:52 AM

clicked on add to cart as soon as it went on sale - panini logo spinning over and over and then nothing except "out of stock"

oh well hopefully next time

craigmacg · 08-22-2019, 10:53 AM

I kept thinking this said Zion

At the very least, it does BO no good to announce a bounty until the product has sold out.

They've announced a bounty a little before previous releases, which just drives more masses to the site.

DJP73 · 08-22-2019, 10:54 AM

Everyone new that Blowout was going to make a huge bounty on these. I think 300.00 is low. So I don't think that affected it

Might I interest you in ACEO?

It's just that kind of day.

wickedliquids · 08-22-2019, 10:55 AM

Server is coming back up now. My guess is that they'll copy the code, move to a test server, and test it all day.

Honestly this year it won't matter. Everyone wants Zion and the bounty doesn't matter. We all know they will buy at solid flipping prices.

Tarheelsfan2012 · 08-22-2019, 10:55 AM

Sadly there's no way BO lists hobby boxes below $200 in the next day or two.
