3) "System glitched, I ONLY wanted one box but somehow I got two. Didn't want to spend 1K but oh well". (knowing damn well they can triple to Quadruple My money with each box)

4) "System sucks I couldn't even get a box in my cart. Panini needs to fix this crap."

5) "Panini needs to limit this to one per customer. This isn't fair"

6) I landed two boxes. Has BO told us a price yet?"

7) If I have 2 boxes in processing but the charge hasn't shown up yet? Did I get one?

I really hope for all intensive purposes I land in the comment #3 section. But more than likely I will fall into comment #4 LOL

I'll add the last one to this stellar list:

9) I'm sick and tired of this capitalist cash grab. Server crashed 25 times and I couldn't even get past the add to cart button. Ridiculous. Going to harass Panini phone reps, and will be firing off multiple emails to David Sharpe and giving him a piece of my mind.

Not expecting anything to come out of it. (aka I hope they sell me a sympathy box because of my emotional trauma)

Ooohhh That is a good one. Forgot about the attack on capitalism LOL. So true.

While I felt the disappointment of NOT landing the NFL NT this year, the ability to make money is what makes the FOTL so fantastic. You can break for MSRP or choose to take the easy profit. It is a win/win for those lucky enough to land one. Man, How I hate those opportunists.

Now what fun would that be if nobody said anything. That first hour after any of these FOTL releases close are some of the best free entertainment one can get.

I just hope I am on the winning side. Much easier to read the comments.

Miz · 03-27-2019, 05:17 PM

I think during the mega thread response an hour after everyone doesn't get boxes I'm gonna just randomly post like recipes and random wikipedia links on the thread to just break up the negativity a little

I'm gonna post I didn't get any boxes again before FOTL launches and beat the rush.

Jackg1980 · 03-27-2019, 05:31 PM

Don’t forget the people who talk trash about blowout raising the prices and then proceed to sell theirs at x 4 and claiming “but that’s different tho”

Miz · 03-30-2019, 12:39 PM

Heard that NT was pushed back to the 26th

Are FOTLs released a week before the regular release?

ninjacookies · 03-30-2019, 05:29 PM

More time to unload kidneys on the saudi black market and perfect the bot captcha algorithms.

Perfect.

I feel like this NT bonanza will be the hig water mark on the hobby. As we head til a recession people wont throw money at this except the absolute degenerates (which i am one) trying to hit lotto. Think the current business model will not survive

I don't know, man. Pretty much guaranteed 1k profit per out the gate. Hard to turn that down if you have a spare 15 minutes to hour in the morning.

Very few instant flip opportunities like this with this kind of ROI.

But I agree...we're all degenerates at the end of the day. And Panini knows it.

Miz · 03-30-2019, 06:45 PM

Yeah I mean no doubt the fotl flip is the best thing from a margins standpoint. The margins are lower in cocaine then fotl. I wonder if panini would consider direct sales for high end product with direct buy exclusives they would make a killing

It’s just a matter of time until FOTL gets jacked up in price—why sell at Price A when you can sell out at Price B (1.5x Price A)?

Isn't that pretty much what distributors and FOTL releases are?

If they did that distributors would have no reason to buy their crap.

Miz · 03-30-2019, 08:24 PM

Yeah wish they just sold everything off website. They can charge more then they do to distributors. Yeah no one would buy hoops unless it was low but just make less

It would be good for buyers i don't think they'd be able to push as much junk though. In other words they wouldn't make as much money. Right now they've got the best of both worlds by doing both with FOTL and breakers pushing junk in order to get allocated high end products.
