<p>[QUOTE="green18, post: 1291499, member: 10103"]Say what you want about the Mint, but they were straight forward with this offering. They made an announcement about it last August, and laid out all the particulars regarding the set. They set the time and date of the release. I know not what the "perfect storm" is, but if it's referring to the folks who missed out on getting this issue my feeling is prepare yourself for next time. Any person who has dealt with the mint and their ordering system knows of the deficiencies related to the system that governs purchasing there. It ain't easy to order on the first day of a product offering. Any product offering. The system is slow as molasses. The mint says they're going to try to improve on that in the future. I've heard that before. After the Lincoln Coin and Chronicles release they said they were going to institute some improvements to make things run smoother. When I logged on, on game day, I saw the same old scenario. And as long as we're on the subject of mint bashing, what about all the YN's who wanted one of these sets but couldn't afford the purchase price? Surely they're just as deserving as any one of us. Who's gonna do something for them? The "evil" mint purposely keeps product prices high to shut out the poor and deserving young collector........<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
