I managed to get my second Boggy Old Creature! Woohoo Woot! It took about 15 minutes and several server errors but I got it! Hopefully this one will be as good as the last one. I just love Woot-Offs!

Is it even possible to get one of these without Wootalyzer?! As soon as the picture frame sold out, I was feverishly clicking F5, despite not KNOWING it was next, I just happened to guess really really good. The very second I saw "random scaffolding" up top, I clicked the "I want one" button, but right then it froze.

I can't imagine I could have possibly clicked that button any faster, and I still didn't even come **CLOSE** to getting it! How do people even do it? Or does everyone that gets it use Wootalyzer?

Got the button ... clicked ... then waited for the fricking server error.

I thought the last woot off's handling of the bot problem was a good idea ... why the hell did that get abandoned for this one?

Curse you, woot gods!

I made sure to put in my CVV code and everything. Still didn't work. I demand an investigation! I even got to click the enormously large button.

Same for me. I had everything filled out correctly (CC info and security code) and clicked the large yellow button. Definitely not fair.

My second Boggy Old Creature!

same here. seems the woot servers took a long time to recover.

Woo(t) hoo! Got my first Boggy Old Creature since last year's April Fools and my first during a Woot Off since Feb 09. geez, been a long dry spell!

I'm a bit disappointed Woot didn't implement a Christmas-like misdirection but since I got one I won't complain toooo much. ;)

Can't wait! I'm going to have to savor this if it's going to be another near-year til I get one.

I got one! This is my fourth Woot, and my second box of crack. I use Wootalyzer and it took me directly to the buy page as soon as it was posted. I entered my CC confirmation number and hit buy. The order status screen spun and spun and it timed out. A minute or two later I got an email with order confirmation, I checked my account history and the crack was there.

Wootalyzer = crack

I got one, I am very happy.

I tried click the gold button and got "invalid order code: buttafuoco" before it was sold out.

I got that too!!!

W T F

Thanks, woot! And also, thanks Georgia Tech for having such blazingly fast internet. I've gotten 4 BOCs now while at school, and none at home.

I understand that some will be quick to point out that it isn't necessarily the internet speed, but I swear by it personally!

DAMIT.
I was in and early and the whole friggen thing went KABLOOEY!
I sit through 2 days of knives and bacon salt, which I expect is fabulous, but I blow up when I see the item change. And, I know Im saying the same thing as every one sle, but they are lying. I actually had the I want it pressed and moving before is melted.

Got one, lucky me.

Got my second Bag ever.

No bot, no hack, nothing but luck.

Hopefully I get a couple knives in mine!

Aw, I was hoping to get one. It would have been a good birthday buy. Oh well, I'm not surprised since the servers have been iffy today.

oh well, three in a row is just greedy (and I'm greedy, damnit!) congrats to all who scored.

w00t! Got one ^_^

So it isn't that they are just slow, or maybe taking a bit of time to get all the cards/payments processed?

Holy HELL I got one... I'm shocked. Even after numerous "Errors" that I'd already ordered. Thanks w00t!

If you saw those messages, try checking your "My Account" status at the top of the page...

Fooey!

Got all the way to the order status processing screen, then got some ssl error.

Sadness.

OTOH, the last time I wond some scaffolding, it turned out to be a (not so gently used) Roomba.

Sometimes the only thing worse than not winning a baby of the cosmos is actually winning a baby of the cosmos.

i see a boggy old creature haunting my purchase list. now i get to tell my wife i spent our hard earned money on a stinky box of creatures.

same for me : Your order is invalid (code: buttafuoco)

I hit the final button, and it returned me to the front page and they were still available. I haven't got an email yet so I fear that by some fluke it didn't process my order.

Yay i'm in too.

It seems they always put up the Boggy Old Creature in the 4PM eastern hour. Its been that way for like the past 6 of them. I wonder why the pattern...

Ya know what, those of you who've gotten a Boggy Old Creature before should give some of us newbies/oldies a chance.

Then again, is it even worth it?

How often does someone get a reallllllllllly good prize (recalling the huge LCD TV someone supposedly got from this which he showed online).

I get the weirdest looks at work when I stop mid sentence and start to focus on the computer all so I can enter my info and try the Boggy Old Creature. Well this time it worked, one on the way... Sweet!!

Got one! Thank you woot gods!

Cannot wait to see what it is.

w00t! Got one ^_^

Woot! 5th Bag of Cannabis!

I thought I missed it cause I got to the final button and crashed about 5 times but checked my email 15mins later for my homework and got my confirmation!

PS: No bots used, just Wootalyzer and a few extra tricks I've picked up in my wooting experience.

wow. After 11 dry months. finaly got one!

I call BS! They were only letting us get 1 this time.

woot can tell whos botting... why dont they do ANYTHING about it?

did you forget to include a coupon code or something, cause i thought that was a good idea... epic fail guys.. epic fail.

lazy/smart/bot people from terrific Wisconsin true fans are suffering.

I hit the final button, and it returned me to the front page and they were still available. I haven't got an email yet so I fear that by some fluke it didn't process my order.

People actually got this?...How? The server crashed before the I Want One button loaded on the page.

What are my chances if it said I was in line?

YEAH!!!! MY Santa’s Sack O’ scaffolding finally came today
(It was lost at the post office).
Even though I told them not to my wife and kids opened it before I get home, and they won’t tell me what was inside...

I may need to gather everything and see if it weighs the same as the shipping label LOL.

*** And I just gotthe confermation email for todays Boggy Old Creature !!!!!

I got some nonsense about my information being wrong, didn't even get to the "you're waiting in line, abandon all hope" page.

This will do no good, but Woot, you had absolutely no problem processing the exact, identical, no-changes-whatsoever information for the 4 other purchases I made during this woot-off. watching the films...

Now give me my monkeys so this three-day jaunt into sleeplessness wasn't a total waste. Daughter got a dog for Xmas that I'm looking forward to torturing with screaming monkeys. Seriously. Don't make me write another strongly worded post. *shakes fist* Then get off my lawn.

i got my first batch of cookies!!! im so flipping happy!!!!!!11

got to the gold button, then it loaded for what seemed 4 hours, and bam!, no Boggy Old Creature for me... Woot blows...
