| | While doing a check through Amazon.com a listing for GOL boosters pops up in the recommendation list. At $9.99 each no less and it is a new listing which supports that it may be true. I load them up on the shopping cart and start to go through the process. Not that I am optimistic they have them in stock but may as well tag them right? Well on the way to checkout it comes up with the error with the boosters no longer available. So it seems that someone was quicker on the draw and I'm going to take a stab that the someone is here reading this and excited over the possibility of cheap GOL boosters being delivered to them over the next few days. | |

| | I saw them on there a month or so ago. I went to buy a few and it said it'd take 2 months to ship so I thought something was up. | |

| | Do you remember the seller name? This was Wizards Team and what makes me wonder about it is they have two listings for GOL. The older one has ratings entered and is unavailable. The other listing appears much newer and since I haven't seen a GOL recommendation on Amazon for I guess about a year it struck me as being very recent (especially since I checked yesterday and nothing was there for DDM). | |

hehehehehe indeed, I ordered about 20. [:D] I couldn't pass them up at that price.
Remains to be seen whether I'll actually get them or not.  | |

Actually, GoL cases were 12, not 6. | |

| | Amazon, Buy.com and Overstock have a habit of listing long out of print WoTC sets for some reason. There's no chance in hell of getting them, but that doesn't stop me from trying too. | |

I fear you are correct. I just checked Amazon and the listing I used to order my boosters isn't even there anymore. I don't think I'm getting any GoL for $9.99 [:(] | |

| | I had the same thing with archfiend boosters a couple of months ago. They were listed I bought a couple,my order was confirmed they sent me an email telling me they would be shipping soon, my credit card was charged...... then nothing. About a week or so later I got another email telling me they were out and cancelling my order and my credit card got charged back. No money loss but very dissapointing, everything pointed to this finally being the real thing then the rug gets yanked out from under. | | | |

| | Alas. Last year (March maybe) I ordered Aberrations (or Archfiends) under a similar situation. Each week there was an excuse (my credit card info was wrong) as to why it would not be shipped as Amazon had originally offered. Each week I confirmed the information and each week the shipping date was moved a month later. I gave up hope of ever receiving the items after about 6 months. And as I check today that order is no longer in my list of orders. | |

| | I recently order 2 GOL huge boosters ( limited budjet ) and it said 1-2 months. The order went through, so I imagine they still had some hopes of getting some at that time... *crosses his fingers* | |

| Saw another new listing for them at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0786934956/ref=pd_ecc_rvi_cart_1/002-7272812-1230463?n=283155
I grabbed six and will wait to see if anything happens from it. I don't expect Amazon to find all these GOL boosters sitting around in a warehouse but at least if they do have them I'm on the list for shipping destination. [)] | |

I agree. Doesn't hurt me to try. If they do indeed have bunches of these stting around, then I'll be sitting pretty. [:D]
I'm really not expecting much though.
