drgnrbrn316 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I'm hoping that's just their version of a preorder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Wow. Could they have really sold out of them that fast? I seem to recall someone saying a run of a thousand or so was the minimum that was really cost effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reideen1313 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 When I tried to order they showed -25 in stock. I went ahead and submitted the order as well. Maybe they'll get more in. I agree with BHM though - very frustrating process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably they didn't put that many as the online stock, I suspect with a couple of days it'll sort itself out. I seem to remember hearing rumors of 3k of these and I doubt they'd sell that many that fast. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and don't worry. If th3ey've really sold out completely, Duff will probably commission some more because it's probably quite profitable and popular.

My words aren't aimed at you Trekker......but I'll take 5 words from you....' probably quite profitable and popular'. I am well aware of the market system whereby profit is reality ....however there comes a time when the fox finds a new hen-house. Confucius or Confuse Us????

Yeah and they are all out already. I went ahead and backordered just in case..... I'm thinking one of two things, since it's unlikley that they've torn through the initial 3,000 (the rumored initial order): Either they posted them for sale with a small, initial shipment that has sold and the balance of the order is being shipped or This is their verson of a pre-order and they posted them for sale based on a notice that they shipped/are shipping (Remember the BTTF.com exclusive) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with BHM though - very frustrating process. My order said -55 and I ordered 2 so these things are selling like hotcakes. And BHM the moment I saw the Ozzies I knew it would be yours so I didn't even bother throwing a bid. Congrates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And BHM the moment I saw the Ozzies I knew it would be yours so I didn't even bother throwing a bid. Congrates! I suspect that's the total number of sets ordered so far... I also expect that to make a huge leap if they mention them on the show!! As for the "selling like hotcakes" comment... perhaps we should change your Screenname to VBpuneasy T.

karamazov80 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 (edited) I suspect that's the total number of sets ordered so far... I ordered a few just a few minutes after Shanester posted the link, and it said -11, so I think that this is the case as well. They probably didn't have any actually listed on the site, so any orders go negative and will be "backordered" for the time being. This may be their way of doing pre-orders.

Jad Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I think when I ordered it said 'Backordered # -8', but I did get a confirmation email, so I'm confident I'll be getting one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reideen1313 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I received an email from them (since I asked when I should expect to hear about my backordered status) and they said We're getting the minimates wednesday. Will ship by end of week. Your card has been charged. Many thanks! So, for those who've purchased them, I'd suggest looking for them around the end of next week sometime. (Keep in mind, Monday is a postal holiday and no mail will move.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav-man Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Seeing as he's going to be a minimate...I watched the show. I have to say it's not your typical cooking show, it was actually quite entertaining. It now makes me look forward to getting Chef Duff in minimate form!

cesium salami Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hey, check it out, this minimate got a short write up on USAtoday's Pop Candy column. It may not be much, but at least it is a little more exposure for minimates, which is a good thing. Maybe if this does well, other shows might pick this up. Just imagine a Mythbuster's minimate. Adam, Jaime, Kari and Buster. Yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
