BAMBALAND: Tips/Tricks/Questions

[Gimbat]

Thought this the best place to ask...

Is ThreeA products made to order, since the bambaland exclusives (most products) only go up for order for around abouts 24hrs does that mean how ever many are made based on how ever many are ordered?

That's how it goes

New to the board as you probably already know, & started the same time Supreme Nom went on sale. It was up for quite awhile giving plenty of time for people to purchase. How indicative was that sale compared to others? Obviously 3AA only stuff isn't open to me but is it tough to score a figure you want during a regular open sale as well?

With the latest sale of RVHK exclusives at Bambland, there was understandably a lot of traffic. Bambaland basically froze for minutes on end, after Mongrol popped up it was a while before anything else was added for me. Finally some other stuff was added but I got a message saying I did not have access to the password protected pages, even though I was logged in and am 3AA.

I realise this is a waste of time now as I think I can safely assume that everything is already gone, but I would be interested in hearing any explanations as to why I would receive this error message despite meeting all the criteria. Just more glitchy Bambalandishness or should I be questioning my 3AA membership?

::edit::

Ok so it seems that even though I logged in maybe one minute prior to the sale happening, and the page welcomed me with my name, somehow Bambaland decided to log me out within that minute. Is there some system whereby you have to login only once a sale has started? Does Bambaland log you out when something is added to the store? Missed out on everything this time (no surprise) but I would really like to know for the future.

I am very sad today, I live in Europe and I had to get up early (  9 a.m. is 3 a.m. here) and have not been able to buy anything , do not understand, while trying to buy something, it was out of stock.

Sorry about that buddy, I am in Europe as well and it's 4:00AM for me (when it's 9:00AM in HK), so I get you well.

Unfortunately store was really hit hard with traffic and person who operates the store, had to go through the same difficulties to take down sale profiles (when figures were out of stock).

Bamba was hit heavily with traffic and all kinds of odd things were happening.

Sorry about that

Not to sound know-it-all but i think it would've been better for one or two items to go up each day, lessening the traffic of everyone going after them all at once

I hear your point, but it would be even more confusing for people. It's hard to believe, but there are still a lot of people (who been here for not one or even two drops), who are confused even by 9:00AM HK time.

Thanks, I just wanted to make sure of the way things would work in the future. If there is some policy, written or unwritten, where Bambaland logs you out when an item is added to the store then that's a pretty important thing to know - even for normal drops. If this was just Bambaland having a spaz attack, and from what I read about the cookies comments and other weirdness, then I shall wait for the next drop that interests me and make sure I'm logged in well in advance, do a little testing just to be sure.

Thanks for your reply. The method of sale doesn't convince me, but I guess there is no other better, I think that everything is solve increasing the stock  , I hope to buy Lady Sham, please, that it isn't  another  sale superlimited surprise ; I will have a heart attack if I can not buy it.

RESIST THE URGE TO HIT "REFRESH" ONCE YOU HAVE AN ITEM IN YOUR CART.  If the item is limited, it pretty much guarantees a cartjacking.

I don't know it for sure, but new Sham (which is coming soon) supposed to be an open release for 24 hours, so no heart attacks please

Thank you both, I will follow your advice, from today I start in transcendental meditation.

I hope you have reason.

Mazin , don't worry, Sham is such an epic figure for Ashley Wood & ThreeA, so I'm sure it has to be an open release

I guess that many of you will in the same situation, I have discovered threea this year and I would like to buy many figures that were previously sold and are currently discontinued . I wonder if there would be any chance of convincing Threea to return to sell many of these discontinued figures which new Threea members have not been able to buy.
