I picked up a "Deconstructed Homer" Night Moves edition from Silent Stage Gallery a couple of weeks ago. They sold out pretty quick as well, no issues with their website during the drop.

Its a shame the Mickey one didn't go smoothly.

i got through quick and easily the second they dropped. no site issues, other than the SSL cert message, whatsoever. i didn't know it turned into a cluster f*ck until i checked their instagram and a buddy sent me a message asking if i was able to get one.

I was caught up in the site going down. It was a total cluster. They asked folks to pm them through instagram, FB, and twitter. No telling if they randomly chose who got one or basically had an intern go through the messages. Hopefully Matt Gondek will never work with those clowns again.

Yes it sucks but actually talked to the owner, Keith, good guy and his hosting company failed him. The expired SSL created a lot of trouble that coupled with a much more popular item then they expected screwed it all up. I hope they get another shot as they seem like good people.

Sad to hear, much like a waiter who can't get food out to the table because the kitchen screwed up, you get blamed for it as the public face of the restaurant.

I had the same experience. SSL message but was able to checkout rather easily. Even carted a second one just to see without any issues. Feel bad for the real fans that didn't score
