With contenders I had one in my cart immediately, but could never get past the captcha after 2 hours of trying off and on. Quit when I mis-clicked and my cart refreshed.

I just skipped this one.

I actually woke up today feeling like not only would I secure an order I was gonna be one of the lucky ones to get a second order in........then reality slapped me in the face with a half hour of high traffic errors. Swing and miss. Congrats to those that scored boxes

Welp. I'm pretty sure I've developed chronic arthritis and a severe case of PTSD.

But I made it out with 2 boxes.

Nothing but errors for 45 minutes or so. And 'credit card not authorized.' Almost gave up when it first went out of stock, but finally able to complete checkout when it went back in stock and I was already at the final stage (changed my credit card up just in case).


Ya'll wanted a lottery system; ya'll got it.


My body is unready.

Got through right away....2 in the cart entered everything in and constant 'success' pop ups but kept leaving me at that screen with no conformation number or anything....either im going to have 0 (most likely) or get 20 (not likely at all!!)

Yes, add me to this list. In to the payment part after about a minute, then 20 minutes worth of trying to pay and ultimately getting shutout.

Did you have to add your boxes again when it went out of stock?

New to the forum! But definitely have been involved in the hobby for a bit.

I thought the experience was a bit better this time. At least error messages happened quick. I spent a bit of time clicking through and eventually got 2 boxes. This happened to me for the FOTL Draft Picks and I just kept clicking and trying the captcha.

I'm finding if you get to add to the cart early enough and ignore the sold out/address/other error messages when checking out, it's working. Unless it kicks you out of the page it seems like those are just traffic errors as opposed to true sold out.

Long first post, sorry! lol.

I feel like I learned a lot about myself during that 35 minutes of clicking.

My outlook has changed. More to come shortly...

How can we convince Panini to get a Rep on the BO Forums?, at least that way they could hear our complaints and give us some hope things may eventually change down the road.

Fortunately (just completely stupid luck) I did not exit out of the final stage of checkout in one browser but kept refreshing the product page on the other until it went back in stock. Learned from the last few releases that the first out of stock message isn't necessarily the last.

Then went back to the checkout page and re-did the capcha (with a different cc) and went through the first time. I'm thinking this is because I was already so deep in the process while most were starting over.


Was never able to add any more to the cart after that. And I was clicking a million miles an hour.

2019 is going to be a crazy ass year.

Blowout now realizes that there are desperate buyers who maxed out thier $500 checking account backed credit cards and will dump for any profit.

I love how easy it is to work with them, but the trend is definitely to pass up on their first offer and wait until shipment. It worked with Prizm Soccer, Immac, and my guess is now this.

I got one because I refreshed my screen and it dropped it back down. Oh well, lesson learned. Still can't figure out how to get the Wal-Mart Prizm Blasters.

Wasn’t the case with Immaculate though. If you got to the checkout page, you were good. Seems like they had an issue processing too many payments at once. I could not get it to accept my Amex. Must have errored three or four times. Then I tried PayPal. Got it to process, but then when it went back to the checkout page to complete, it errored again. At least I only have one pending charge on my CC.
