I was thinking and talking with someone about that ! ( Running size ) Maybe 150 ?
Or your flipper list is working well , don't see any of the last 2 drops on flipperbay ! Well only 1 Yeti in a italy webshop on evilbay !
But still don't get it that the Doc wasn't sold out fast ?
But keep up the awesome work Ferg

I guess its a matter of perspective..I consider 200 pieces in less than an hour very fast.

That is very true !! And it's not that sweaty anymore for us to get one

Well it's a catch 22, because if you make the drops in smaller amounts then the demand will rise because people would want it that much more.

look at the Green Jack from SA... I'm sure a lot of people want it in their collections because there's only 50 of them.

Good point Wilson. We're all just used to previous drops selling out in 2 minutes and this is weird to us.

No !!!! Please don't do that Ferg, I need doubles to kitbash/custom^^

Yes I agree with you both guys. And like Charlie said, it's was just weird to see this release last longer considering the drops on the store usually go the sold out way in about 5 minutes, and the awesomess of this GRACKLE. So after securing mine and relaxing, it was a surprise seeing it not sold out.

This being said, I really like the fact of managing to get the stuff I love without this stress/emo we almost all experienced on Bambaland.
As for me, I just stick with my taste, I don't mind if the run is large or super limited. I would say I prefer large runs.
For exemple, I'm not fan of the Green SA Jack, and the fact there are only 50 doesn't make it more appealing to me.
On the contrary, I would have enjoyed a larger run for the SA Parka, which is so sick, and unfortunately out of my reach

So, for me, it's all good this way with the Squadt Store drops, and 200 seems a good run. And as FERG said, 200 pieces sold in less than an hour is a pretty good one

Eheheh not at all ! Just a matter of taste. While Jack is my fav' specimen, this green isn't a tone of green I enjoy. Just this

The green tone is what I love about him. I really dig the bright colors. The green & red Jacks are at the top of my list. I would love to see a blue & orange non GID. Hell.... make it a spectrum of Jacks But I understand what you are saying, we each have our own opinions & likes. I'm not a fan of GID. Luckily for us Ferg has given us so much variety & from the way things are going, it doesn't look like he'll be slowing down anytime soon

This !

How about a Pink Jack !

Remember guys there's 200pcs and I'm sure maybe a 1/3 of them will end up being parted out for customs and what not. Edition size is perfect Ferg please don't change a thing if anything go a little higher.

As far as why it took so long to sell out in 60 seconds or less... There could be all kinds of reasons. Like not all of Ferg's fans want to have every single squadt. This was not the only Halloween drop that day. You have dcon coming next week. There is also the Holiday Season approaches and people start watching their pennies more closely.

I didn't get one, if I had spare cash I would have bought one.
I bought doc treats last year, so I don't feel too bad about missing this one..
Been a hectic month.

Good point, there were a lot of Halloween drops & DCon is next week. I think 150-200 is a good number for exclusive drops, anything above that keeps it from being exclusive. That's what we have retail releases for. Just my opinion.

I tried and I failed. My squadt trigger is not what it used to be.

On that note, American internet speed sucks ass, lol. I used to be far better off abroad than in here. I had ping lower than a Lamborghini.

You must have really bad service because I was at a restaurant having breakfast with a buddy & just barely remembered to purchase it through my IPhone. Very smooth transaction.

From now on wards I will never forget to set the alarm after adding an event to my phone calendar.

Congrats man !

Grabbed mine on the iPhone whilst on the road for work. I'm glad I had a little extra time! Keep hoping he'll be waiting for me when I get home from traveling each week........ Should look great next to the retail Playge Doc!

As an aside, anybody know any cool places to go in Boston??

P.S.S. I think a pepto pink playge doc would be rad. Like a matte pink. Yep. That would be swell.

mMmmMmm bubblegum Doc, I like where you're mind is slappy nuts.
