Title: Theory 11 Monarchs pre-sale - Limited to 111
Post by: CBJ on October 28, 2011, 12:01:49 AM
Theory 11 writes on FB
"Before 11/11/11, there will be 111. If you are fast enough. #monarchs #prerelease #10312011"
(http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/383294_10150331123697143_7163962142_8518627_646844013_n.jpg)

also...
"you won't know what it looks like until you open the box. If you're among the lucky few, you'll have them before anyone else."

and...
"11:00am EST. Didn't want anyone to have to stay indoors on Halloween night. ;)"

So to sum up...

Halloween day @ 11:am EST, be one of the first 111 to purchase Monarchs (sight unseen) before anyone else can on 11/11/11

Good luck!

I'm waking up around that time anyway (Pacific time here) so I guess I'll just hop on and see if I'm lucky.

Not sure what I'll do with them though - I doubt I'll care enough to do a deck review.

If anyone on here nabs them - be sure to at the very least take pictures!

I highly doubt they will allow you to purchase more than 1-2 decks during the pre-sale. If it was unlimited quantities that would be ridiculous - I'd just buy all 111 and resell them the next day. o_O

Holy moly that's right. If that's the case its very likely they won't show us pics until the day of 10/31/11.

Oh and off topic just call me D on the forums. I'm called d bag everyday with my group of friends already lol  :D
D bag is just a way to remember my user name.

Unreleased info about the Monarch deck from Theory11:

Question: Is the Monarch deck going to be limited?

Answer: "All decks are limited in a sense, as there is never an infinite quantity available. That said, we have not restricted the number of these produced and will likely continue producing them until the demand for them dies down. We cannot guarantee that they will not sell out during the holiday season, but we will have plenty on hand."

Yeah I checked out your channel and I think it's cool how there are two of you guys. The guy with the brighter lighting has cool skills and the other man has charisma that makes his video a good listen while I work on homework. I bookmarked your channel!

I liked your guardians review too. A new camera would enhance the experience for sure though. I also book marked your page!

Well, looks like my order went through. Bought 3 of them. Unfortunately, the only reasonable shipping method was USPS First Class, so I might not even get them that much before they are released..... Oh well.

Edit: wow, sold out in 2 and a half minutes.

Boo. I call foul play on their timer mechanism. I suspect that their was a minor inconsistency across browsers or via the calculation from when you loaded the page. I purposefully had that page up for several hours, and watched it count down. It went from 0 directly to the Sold Out button appearing. Didn't even see the add to cart, even for a split second. I was ready to click the instant my timer ran down. In theory (get it, in THEORY?) that button should have at minimum appeared for all users at the same time, even if you only had a moment to click it.

It's not like I'm going to sue or anything, and I'll just buy a deck in a couple weeks, but as a professional web developer I'm kind of disappointed that their mechanism obviously did not work perfectly consistently for all viewers.

From what I noticed, the inconsistency seemed to be caused by having the page open, but being on a different tab in the browser. When I went back to the monarch page, I refreshed and a large chunk of the time was skipped to catch back up to what is should be.

On the bright side, at least this is not a ultra rare run of 111, only a week and a half before they have numerous decks for sale.

Its not worth making a fuss over, but I was excited to give it a shot, made sure I was ready and all that. If I didn't even get the chance to see the button, that means my local timer was off by at least 90 seconds (what they said it sold out in). So that was poopy programming.

I'd sure catch hell if one of my web sites interactive features was off by that much. :)

Ah well, hopefully their servers won't die on 11/11/11.

I'm in the same boat Ev, my wife was side-tracked when ordering and only got one. When I went to try to place an order for 3 it said I had to wait 10 minutes...and well, the rest is history. It is basically a sneak peek anyway, so no big deal.
