Well, if they're made in China, expect "scrappers" to hit the market shortly. >_>

And it didn't even freaking matter. Apparently they sold out of Derpys within 20 minutes of the booth opening.

Can't say I'm surprised, really. I'm still hoping my press contact was able to get one, but I'm not holding my breath. Time to watch the webstore....

In under 4 minutes, I was trying to get one, and the website was responding horrendously. I spent a ton of time trying to refresh.

Absolutely give up at this point. /flips table

Well, my artist friend is going to be at DragonCon, among others. She did offer to watch to see if any are for sale there and pick one up, depending on budget. Do you have a price range you'd be comfortable with?

Preferably something around like $40, honestly....the ones on Ebay are hovering around $40-60, so I'm cringing, but thinking that may end up just being the way to go. Doubt landing one for $20 will be a possibility at this point. :<

Probably not, especially since anyone that did get one has to know how in demand they are. I'll let her know.

Hmmm.... Possibilities are still there, from what I hear. My artist friend got one this morning at 11:38AM Eastern time. Apparently the site is cancelling multiple orders, so limited stock is showing up again. Of course, it was gone by the time I saw the email at 12:09.

I'll keep watching.
