@f00l It was very odd. I felt like I had a OC-12 line directly from my computer to the order processing system at Meh HQ. I clicked to buy, the order screen popped up instantly, I clicked “I am not a robot” checkbox and the Buy button and immediately got the confirmation screen. Zero delay.
@musmagic Problem was mine. My credit card on record here expired 11/30, I forgot to update in account settings. So whoever got the one I didn’t, Merry Christmas!
Ditto. Remembered to do the robot thing and everything. Seemed good green bar, then try again. Right. Sold out.
/8ball Will the odds ever be in my favor? It is certain
Well that sucks… clicked as soon as it popped and kept having to wait on the “we’re busy processing yada yada” and “we’re sure selling a lot of these”.
Oh well, $5 shipping, C’mon now. Still wondering why my VMP disappeared.
Yes! Nabbed my first Fukobukuro!
That estimated delivery of Dec 25-28 is a little disappointing though. Hopefully it’ll get here before Christmas so I can open it then!
@Kidsandliz yeah, I seriously had someone telling me that if I made sure I was there when they went live, slow internet would not be a problem. Seriously?! I’m here at the moment most nights. I have VMP and all my info saved. I never, not ever have gotten one.
@simplersimon If I know one is coming I tend to hop on my computer and also use my phone. At times my phone has been faster and I’ve landed one that way. While my internet isn’t the fastest, I tend to run about 40/35.
“Wow, these are selling fast and we’re busy processing other orders. Try again in a little bit.”
Loaded that page 5 seconds after it went live, and completed that captcha within another ~8. Still didn’t get it, even though it took a minute for it to sell out.
@ShotgunX I hear you …you aren’t the only one. If it makes you feel any better the last one I actually got and it wasn’t worth $5 dollars total…all junk
@AttyVette They really need to be prepared to have more of them on hand. They actually seem to have less now, sometimes, than they did a few years ago, yet the site’s user base went up considerably. If they offered like 1,500 of them throughout the day, then most of the people who try really hard to get one probably could.
Ridiculous Click buy and it wanted me to enter all my credit card information and click I’m not a robot twice and then sold out. And im vmp credit info already there.
I promise my vamp ass is not a robot. Again. For the love. I was ready and locked. Easily in top 100. Again. I just can’t get past the robot. And. I. Am. Not. A. Robot. I know that’s what they all say. But…
@jmnetus they really need to disable captcha imo…I do captcha on other sites and they work fine but not on meh…this time i got through quickly BUT green line for ordering kept refreshing counted it doing that 10 times then said opps these things going fast try it again and then sold out
It’s going to be a long day. I realize it helped some of us get one since it wasn’t offered until 12:50 am EST and I’m sure many people had given up already, but c’mon @dave, I get up for work at 5:20. Please return to offering the Fuko after the initial poop offering. Sleepiness and radioactive injections don’t mix well.

@ruouttaurmind You’re welcome.
@therealjrn
I was busy doing something or other annoying. And not paying attention for the first 30 seconds. Missed it.
But that’s cool. Not sure I even want one.

@Toriii Junk. Sometimes broken junk. Congrats!
@sammydog01 Thanks!
@Toriii last time it was two random VCR tapes, a meh sticker, a dime store mini cap gun and not much more. Congrats for what it is worth.
Oops we had a problem with your order… MEH!

Oh well, $5 shipping, C’mon now. Still wondering why my VMP disappeared.
Just how many street signs are there in this world?
The never ending green bar refill. Then it said try this again, not a robot still checked and yet it kept asking me if I was a robot. Oh well.
Of course the bar had to continually fill repeatedly despite me being ready to order at the literal second it started…
The usual processing bullshit, only to tell you to try again. Then they are sold out. Meh
nailed it!
/giphy finished-tilted-voyage
Stupid Captcha.
Missed it once again.
Gotta love it when your wife hates when you “blow” money on stupid crap.
Yes! Nabbed my first Fukobukuro!
That estimated delivery of Dec 25-28 is a little disappointing though. Hopefully it’ll get here before Christmas so I can open it then!
/giphy I want to destroy everything don’t freaking tell me my slow internet isn’t the problem
@simplersimon welcome to the slow internet club. I currently have about 9 or 10mbps. I didn’t get one either.
@Kidsandliz yeah, I seriously had someone telling me that if I made sure I was there when they went live, slow internet would not be a problem. Seriously?! I’m here at the moment most nights. I have VMP and all my info saved. I never, not ever have gotten one.

@cinoclav thank you. Your comment gave me the idea to check my neighbors’ wifi to see if anyone had an unsecured but faster option. I got one!
First time getting one, i feel like i should be more concerned w/my life choices than excited about getting a mystery meh bag… but yay i got one!
Denied again. I’ve yet to get one of these things! Aaarghhhh!!!
Aw man, it was in my order then the form crashed and didn’t go through. What a bummer!
/giphy lax-holistic-doctor
That was up for way longer than I had been lead to believe
That’ll teach me to focus on making lunch for my son.

Gottem. I always get a fuko when I get crap from woot. Now I can just casually browse the mehrathon and do some xmas shopping tomorrow

Tell us you are not a robot. Oops we’re sold out! Thats it. I am cancelling the VMP. Meh officially sucks.
/giphy wishful-last-skunk
Ridiculous Click buy and it wanted me to enter all my credit card information and click I’m not a robot twice and then sold out. And im vmp credit info already there.
@mongoosejoe don’t feel bad. I’m kickstarter & VMP and haven’t been able to score either.
I promise my vamp ass is not a robot. Again. For the love. I was ready and locked. Easily in top 100. Again. I just can’t get past the robot. And. I. Am. Not. A. Robot. I know that’s what they all say. But…
@v Based on your username, I’m not worried you’re a robot…
@v If you say you’re not a robot, it just proves you’re a robot!
It’s been over a year since I got one.
Fuck you, recaptcha. You froze and ruined Christmas.
You can’t get multiple fukos during a mehrathon, right?
@versabox
yup.
@versabox they canceled 2 of my 3 last time, so yes, you can’t.
/giphy negative-bumpy-gold
Bring on the deep space nine vhs tapes.
@SteveOOO it’s probably filled with all the crap junk thats been selling before the fuko came up.
@Enigma hopefully
Ehhh… Got sidetracked watching Sunday Night Football highlights.
Missed the Fuko, but we won the game… Go Hawks.
Fuk you and Fuk me!!! Yeah baby yeah!
I refuse to believe that 247 people deserved this more than I did.
@gertiestn I don’t, but I didn’t get one either. Lunch and breakfast for the spud are prep…
OK, that’s it. Monster spiders strolling around? Time to clean up and get to bed.
Nope couldn’t get it green line of never ending loading occurred and then said oops said let’s try this again then sold out
well going to sleep now
Your writer said…"Did they say “Where’s the meat?” Or was it “Where’s the beef?” "
It was “Where’s the beef!”. Glad I could clear that up for you.
I’m a robot
/buy more next time
@username Oops, sorry. We’re sold out.
Captcha with pictures. Really?
Captcha stole it from me. Curse my inability to prove that I am not a robot!
@jmnetus yeps. I feel your pain. I had to click on cars and I must have clicked on 12 of them cause the pics kept refreshing.
@jmnetus they really need to disable captcha imo…I do captcha on other sites and they work fine but not on meh…this time i got through quickly BUT green line for ordering kept refreshing counted it doing that 10 times then said opps these things going fast try it again and then sold out
I clicked the recaptcha and you still asked me if i was a robot. Grrr.
@natekimh Yeah I had that problem too. Then there is nothing you can do but start over. But then of course by then it is too late.
Got one! Lichen the green bag.

@mediocrebot well - clicking on pictures to prove I’m not a robot will often cause me to say fuko/fuku… say it again… it’s the way it should be. sigh
After multiple failed Captcha’s, sold out.
Yeah, got fukoed while “processing” the order. (Then, sold out.) At least it only took a minute of my time, this time.

Fukobukuro 18
FedEx SmartPost: Monday, December 25th - Thursday, December 28th
What’s the point of a Fuko if you don’t get it by Christmas? I mean, if you wanted it so that you had some gifts to give to others…
Remember…its the thought that counts.
I tried to buy one. I did’nt even WANT one, I was just seeing if it would work.
Don’t care!!
Thought I was good with confirming that I’m not a robot and waiting for the bar but no, sold out. hoping for more tries later today
@stryper2000 The same exact thing happened to me. Scrolling bar, followed by “there was an error” then “Sold Out”.
Damn my ADD… I leave for 5 minutes!
This is what I get for clicking meh with 3 minutes left on the BB8 backpack.
