<p>[QUOTE="steve1942, post: 1302815, member: 21699"]Yea, you are right. I feel bad that i raised false hopes. Just wish that the collectors get theirs. Hope, also, that you get yours. It must have been tough having your grandkids when the mint made it impossible to order a set without spending hours and total concentration to get an order through. I had my web site set up and the phone number dialed, all I had to do was hit redial and also try to get the web page to move beyond "quantity". I spent over 3 hours (got my order through at 3:09 PST) to finally get it placed, never did get through on phone. It had to be one of the most frustrating 3 hours of my life. I really don't know how those earlier orders ever got placed. Someone must of had a bank of numbers all dialing, this was not set up for a simple collector with one phone and one PC. It's why I get upset to see HSN with their loads of sets and blog members bragging about 10 or more. I don't know what the intention was of the mint, possibly to make money. They really didn't seem to care about collectors, even those of us that are mint members with subscriptions. They must know that some buyers got many more sets than the 5 order maximum. It's a shame they don't have a way to cancel shipment to outfits like HSN when they hear about the number of sets they have. Guess HSN can always claim they purchased them from a third party (in a way, I guess they did).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
