Of course there’s no way to tell for sure, but since they’re still taking orders for the set a day later, they may not have sold out on the first day.

Got mine through with online receipt & order number at 12:34. Got confirmation email at 12:41. It was subject “Order Receipt, Order #…..” and blank email body. So seems to me that is a firm order. My son, who got his through @5 min. later had an email at 12:48 with body indicating they received the order but reserve the right to cancel. So sounds like orders totaled the limit sometime during that five-minute period.

I got an email at 12:17 with an order number, it does say Qty 1 @ $55.95 – Backordered 10/30/09. Not sure what that means, but to me, it’s an order.

I hate to be a party pooper but if you read your confirmation E-mail, I think you got just an order number and may be placed on a waiting list.

I got mine ordered in 15 minutes but I was logged into the site an hour before. I got my daughters ordered right after that. Now I can not get back in.

Yeah, it was tough…
I finally got through about 1:00. An extra click or two and Checkout showed a quantity of 2. I figured they’d catch that, so I backed it down to 1. Now if they would just bill my credit card for a different item that I ordered 3 days ago. I don’t know what’s up with that order.
