I'm just trying to check the USMint website about something else, but apparently today's release has me in a 40 minute waiting room. It's been 10 minutes, and it's down to a 30 minute wait, so it's not bluffing. They need a way for people to browse the website info and account info without shopping. edit: the timer reset to another 30 minutes after 40 minutes, lol. Edited by Corbe

I hit the website at 11:55 and it immediately went to over 1 hour wait... looks like I won't be getting these... likely sold out already.

I never got out of the waiting room just to look at the website something unrelated, something like a 95 minute wait lol. I'll check later today.

I got on the site at 1151 and waited for 1200. at start time my timer jumped up to 29 minutes. I was thinking that I would not get this last one. At 1215 I was let in and I managed to get one in my bag went to checkout, and my bag was empty!, I went back and put another in my bag - same ting happened again, On the third attempt I got it in my bag and managed to check out and get one - my purchase time was at 1215. I then checked the 'ATS" for this product and found that only 4 were left. So I just got very lucky.
But I got my confirmation email.

thanks but this was a tough one this time. when I saw my wait time at more than 15 minutes, I had started looking on ebay for them - one seller already had 1 confirmed for sale so I flagged it. |

I was in wait until about 20 after the hour. Put 2 sets in my basket. Went to log in and it removed it from the checkout after I logged in. Tried three times again, but sold out.
