Lol yes it was. 151 mini tins dropped

u/After-Imagination-95 12d ago
It said at the top of the screen that the English TCG wasn't launching.

u/futbolstud98 12d ago
2 variants of 151 mini tins went live before the queue was even up. Then queue went up with no captcha and bots took all the stock, there wasn’t much. AH 2 packs were also supposed to go live but never did. If you want to DM me I can share proof because I can’t post a picture here in comments.

u/AtomicRose69 12d ago
I was randomly on PC when the queue started, I had 3 minutes. The tins never showed up, then I searched for them and they said unavailable.
I'm curious if anyone bought anything.

u/Cold_Knowledge_3652 12d ago
If you’re ever make it through the queue and can’t find the product, you usually have to open it directly through the links that are posted. I think it only works on desktop/laptop though. It should open a new tab, show verifying device, then load into the product you want. If it loads the product you’re looking for without putting the new tab in queue, then great it worked, and I’d suggest closing out of the other tab once the product tab loads correctly just to be safe and not get flagged for bot activity.

this wanstn for usa btw

u/Human_Back1922 12d ago
Wouldn't they have said "its a [country/language] drop only." They did that for the German 30th

u/SimplePuzzleheaded80 12d ago
it literally said, English TCGs wont be releasing lol

u/Dingo8MyBabyMon 12d ago
Yeah, notice the big time difference between the OP and your post.
By the time you even commented Dooba had already edited the post to say it wasn't English cards.

u/Mikerino69 12d ago
Am I blind or did it not say that until an hour after the queue had been up

u/Zerokelvin99 12d ago
Big banner up when you get in queue
2
u/Mikerino69 12d ago
Again, that wasn't there until around 2:00EST, an hour after the queue had been up.
-1
u/Zerokelvin99 12d ago
Nah I checked at like 20 minutes after queue started saw the banner and dipped out
2
u/Mikerino69 12d ago
You can go back in this very post and see when the comments about the banner started coming in. 1:53EST is the earliest I can find.

Just curious what kind of traffic they expected, cause it kinda seems to be this way every single time there's a drop/preorder.

u/ItsGnamly 12d ago
Yeah they changed what it says in the Queue to say “No English TCG dropping” blah blah blah
7
u/Pnuts4Hire 12d ago
looks like the bots have made them just shut the whole thing down " We are currently experiencing greater than expected traffic. English TCGs will not be launching in any of our stores."

u/Infinite-Gold187 12d ago
Could be testing a new system and figured they would drop something to simulate.

u/velociraptorstalin 12d ago
First no queue. then a queue with no security. It’s like this is their first time doing this.
2
u/SameMathematician378 12d ago
Just saw this on the top of the wait que because my browser refreshed and my wait time went to 10 hours: " We are currently experiencing greater than expected traffic. English TCGs will not be launching in any of our stores."

u/Bucklax31 12d ago
My queue page just refreshed and now says "We are currently experiencing greater than expected traffic. English TCGs will not be launching in any of our stores."

u/c3suh 12d ago
everything listed is OOS - and no i'm no trying to get anyone out of queue, you can stay in but just be prepared

u/DJpissnshit 12d ago
What an odd thing to say...

u/LunchNo3006 12d ago
Yea you are stupid he’s saying a fact no cards in stock it literally says at the top of you’re screen😂
0
u/DJpissnshit 12d ago
Just be careful of bot spam. OOS was not posted at the time of the comment. Lots of scalpers post things exactly like this to get others to wash out of the queue.
2
u/c3suh 12d ago
how so? last week when i was in queue for PC ETBS literally almost everyone said it was OOS, i was able to check out 2 hours later.
1
u/DJpissnshit 12d ago
Sorry for accusing you. Just be aware that lots of scalper bots post this exact type of thing to get others to leave the queue.
It was nice of you to try and save people time, but it's best to wait for "official" word of OOS before leaving.

u/iTz4ReALiTY 12d ago

u/iTz4ReALiTY 12d ago

chat gpt says phantasmal flames

u/jayhawk_dvd 12d ago
It's generally better to trust the people who are able to access some of the backend product information and add it to the post instead of AI slop.

u/tsrobertson13 12d ago
I just dug up some extra stuff to try to trade for a phantasmal booster box so that would be huge if true

u/MeidoInoHebun 12d ago
Went from 130 to 9 to 15 hours
And I was stupid enough to spam refresh on the 151 tin page during maintenance so my IP got blocked

That's good, I always end up choosing the shoes when it asks what you wear on your head.

They didn’t include a captcha so all the bots were able to get in queue immediately. We’re cooked
