Benchwarmer Soccer

Anyone know if it got released today??

[Mystafet]

no idea, I'm waiting to hear as well as I preordered a case, was hoping it woulda shipped yesterday so I could have in hand today, hoping it ships tonight so I can have mid week next week.
Also, none have hit eBay yet, except Sandra Taylor posting her own Auto'd card, and 2 Proofs...so who knows.

[natbornkiller]

any day now

[Mystafet]

I know the date listed on BlowOut was the 15th, then I believe it changed to today, saw an eBay auction listing the Confirmed date as Monday...so I am hopeful that it will be today or Monday. Looking forward to this product as I didn't get to bust any Hot for Teacher

[MasterOfTheDark]

Someone got a case up on Ebay tonight. Ordered 2 cases from Blowout, paid in full awhile back when they were more expensive, yet no tracking number or any indication from Blowout if or when they are going to ship.

I got screwed the same way with the Hot For Teacher release. I'm in the 4 day delivery window, so if Blowout doesn't ship until Monday, I'll have it a week after it releases (released today, Friday, vs receiving it next Friday:mad: ).

Oh well, lesson learned for sure this time.

[Dacubs]

wow...that stinks...I actually only bought 1 box, but from someone other than blowout...first time I bought something when it was releasing instead of waiting, but we'll see...getting excited for this, the cards on ebay look nice

[Mystafet]

I'm really hoping I get my tracking info for it today, granted, I know I'll be waiting 10 hours until I would get tracking info, I can still be hopeful.
The cards posted on eBay do look great, really looking forward to my case.

While scanning eBay I came across this : Cassandra Lynn Signed Box (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Benchwarmer-Soccer-Premium-Cassandra-Lynn-Box-Autograph-Lot-25-/251019656605?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a71effd9d)

Are there auto'd boxes in this? These 2 are numbered to 25, but there is nothing on the sale sheet mentioning this.

[Dacubs]

Those are neat, had not heard of them, but I'm figuring you would only get them if you buy by the case...too easy for someone at the factory to cherry pick them once the case is opened.

good luck on your case

[Mystafet]

well, 5:35 est...no shipping info yet, I can still be hopeful to get it within the next hour...

[Andrew Jones]

There are finally some actual singles live on eBay so it looks like the wait for the release is over and the wait for the shipping can now begin in earnest.

[Mystafet]

*sigh* 7PM and no tracking info...looks like another day of waiting. Wish I had a Dealer close by so I could purchase directly.

mine says shipped, expecting my box on wed

[MasterOfTheDark]

Anyone know what Blowout's problem is? Is there a link or announcement somewhere that I'm missing?

I basically quit buying from Blowout after the Hot For Teacher debacle, but bought a case of TNA Reflexxions that went ok, so I bought 2 cases of this and I'm sitting here scratching my head as to what the issue is. Been live for days, release date was months ago, so there's no reason I'm aware of for them to not have these shipped already. Yet I've received no tracking, no note or update, or anything. Confused to say the least.:confused:

Wondering if they got less stock than expected or something. There has to be some reason why your single box would ship, but my case would not...
When did you get your tracking info?

This is my first actual pre-order from BlowOut, but it isn't looking promising. I stopped doing pre-orders at my LCS because of lack of communication. I Preordered a Case of Contenders FB, and it got pushed back a few times...him being a shop owner, I partially expected a call letting me know it was pushed back, and never got any communications from him, other than I'll get it when he does. I just don't feel as the consumer I should have to stalk release dates and figure out why I don't have a product other people do have. So once stuff starts showing up on eBay it just frustrates me, since now I see now point in doing the preorder if I don't know whats going on...

Just a little more communication on why stuff isn't shipped when others clearly have the product.

Fully agree with the "stalking release dates" part, but unfortunately it's been that way my entire time with Blowout (couple of years).

Agreed with the second part as well. I want to know why my order hasn't shipped. Figured I'd see if I missed an announcement or something first.

mine was bought elsewhere

[natbornkiller]

my 2 cases are on the way too

was yours from blowout??

[MasterOfTheDark]

So Ebay is flooded with singles now (and still growing), yet Blowout customer orders haven't shipped yet?:confused:

New store causing them problems, or anyone else know what the problem is?

Ordered from a different place and they have not shipped either. If you are that concerned a simple email or phone call will get you the answer you are looking for. Blowout is very responsive.

[air23]

Ordered 3 cases from a different online site and they shipped yesterday. Should have them on Wed.

[Andrew Jones]

Looks like BO is shipping them as I type.

After seeing the singles on eBay, I have to say I'm glad I only pre-ordered 1 box. I don't think this product is as strong as the previous high-end Benchwarmers releases.

[Mystafet]

Yeah, sadly most of the sales have been BiN/BO, and I generally strictly enjoy doing auctions...I just enjoy seeing what it goes for and bidding wars etc...

Just hoping I do decent on my Case, however prices have gone up a bit, so maybe I'll sit on them and flip the boxes....Noooooo, there is no fun in that! Looking forward to my case :-)

[obzezzed]

For those of who who had a case shipped, can you please tell me the weight of it on the UPS website? Mine says 10.7 lbs, even though I ordered two cases. Seems a bit light. :confused: Thanks!

[Mystafet]

Weight:5.50 lbs

Gotta think, it's only 12 boxes, with 4 cards each...not gonna be too big.

[Dacubs]

hmmmm...my one box plus 5 packs of top loaders says 3.1 pounds....

anyway, wish there were some box breaks being posted...would like to see what is coming out of each box, instead of seeing all the singles on ebay.

[Mystafet]

My case will be here within 3 hours. I intend on grabbing it during my lunch break and will be busting it during mini breaks at work throughout the rest of the day...I'll make a thread for my hits

wish I could watch...gonna be at a training session with no internet...

good luck on your cases...just sent Danny an e-mail to get a box for blowout tv tonight...

[MasterOfTheDark]

Thanks to Blowout for not shipping until Tuesday, mine are scheduled for delivery next Monday.:(

Good luck to those breaking this stuff!:)!
