Re: DW and NW Commanders
Awesome, congrats AA! I tried for about a half hour to score the NW HB, F5ing continuously like crazy and never even saw it, but then it was dinnertime and I just went "!@#$ it!"
Was it hard to get, AA?

Re: DW and NW Commanders
Ugh... Thanks guys! To be honest, I'm a bit surprised you didn't get one. Judging by the reactions over at the 3A board, I had the impression that quite a few ppl scored. Could I be wrong? Anyway, I'm sorry that you missed out!

Re: DW and NW Commanders
Well, I couldn't sit there that long, so who the hell knows what Ash is going to do. I think those who were patient enough or right place at right time scored, but I already was sitting there F5ing for a good half hour without ever even seeing it come up.

Re: DW and NW Commanders
Thanks for the heads up, AA! But I'm not in the market for one anymore. NW HB was an impulse type purchase for me... if I was able to get it in my cart and pay for it, I would have been happy to. I wasn't that heartbroken when I didn't get it, I just wanted another cool HTF ThreeA variant (who doesn't) in my collection.
That ThreeA suddenly decided to do this doesn't totally feel right to me... I think those who got it by F5ing should have gotten a bonus of some sort... maybe two knives or perhaps an additional decal or something (though it prolly won't happen).

Yeah, pretty disgusting situation.

Re: DW and NW Commanders
well apparently those who got it first will have it ship out to them first i reckon, these 24 hours sale one will be shipping around May i guess.....
I'm confused should i get one...since i really like the black color on it but alas i pre-ordered the retail version African Defense just a day before the secret drop, i did get both Nom commanders since i never had those before...^^

Re: DW and NW Commanders
It's up to you, BoysWillBeToys. You will not be disappointed if you ordered another one. ThreeA's figures are all very impressive (to varying degrees, of course). However, the price tag is high, $280 (less 15% if you're 3AA) is still a lot of money.
And, I wasn't hanging out at the ThreeA forums; was this a case of peer pressure, everyone complaining and wishing they got one, which is why Ash caved and released it to the general public? Just seems a bit unfair that some people sat for hours F5ing to get one and a day later, you can just order it without any issue.

Re: DW and NW Commanders
Presure? Maybe. I had to get up early, so I didn't stick around to follow the discussion.
Yet, there's always people going 'emo' - as they call it - after a secret drop. I never heard that they got a second chance at it. At least I know that I never have. And that's wat bugs me most. It's, be there at drop night an try, or deal. Considering the drop-time in Europe, this whole thing is pretty rude I think.
