njseale Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Just finished building mine tonight. Wanted to build it before it was officially retired so I would not be tempted to hold it. It cools but definitely disappoints in several ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my biggest disappointment is that it looks better from the back than the front. I conflicted on how to display it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trek called Sunday at Midnight EST Looks like I planned too long lol It is down to 297 from 750 14 hours ago At the run rate it looks like there is about 9 hours left but I think people seeing this will panic and if they were on the fence they will order so that means the speed will increase So I need to revise the forecast from Sunday Midnight to Sunday at 7 AM give or take two hours Wow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading your countdown posts feels like waiting for the ball to drop on New Year's Eve. Very exciting! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very exciting! what I really find interesting is I know I have been in this far less than ed, jeff and everyone but in the last three years I do not remember a set ever occurring where we could watch the countdown remaining at one retailer. it really sets a precedent in my mind not sure if ithat is good bad or will ever repeat itself .... but perhaps it was common place before I was here. Yes the rover, RI, TH, R2, SSD to name a few all were very exciting and popped in and out with unexpected batches (which may happen again with the tumbler but I am guessing not so much) but that we could actually have it go to one store with thousands on hand as people talk about it for days that I do not remember it is fun that is for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Get some sleep, man - it´s over! Now, the next games will be to predict how many new listings are up on ebay when it is sold out in all retailers and what the average sold item price will be in February.
