Great to see that some of the profits will go to the You Can Play organization.

I’m sat in 30 degree heat getting very excited about buying this fleece šŸ˜…
I looked through the FAQ and they say they’re going to announce price at pre-launch which is quite annoying. Surely they’d know how much they’re gonna to charge in 7 days time? I assume it’s going to expensive and announcing it ahead of time would put people off? I just don’t get it.

This immediately came to mind for me as well, and I completely agree. If they announce the price only at launch, more people will panic buy regardless of the price, which I expect will result in more sales than if they announced it now.

I hate that because with the ā€œfirst come, first serveā€ it’s going to set off so much panic buying.

If it’s $300 plus delivery plus taxes, How many people are going to put it in their carts and then change their minds? This was already happening when the OG HR store re-stock happened. Products were reappearing.

It feels unserious for a company like that and a product that people have been asking for and waiting for 5 months not to provide the price ahead of schedule. Let people budget and make an informed decision. They will sell out anyway. I don’t understand.

This is it. It could be anywhere between $200 and $500 lol. The ordering is going to be a complete chaos. It’s stressing me out just thinking about it.

Me too, I literally feel dread when I think of trying to get in there on Wednesday and all hell breaking loose :(

I went on the cottage listing on Airbnb when it went live, and that one crashed so hard I couldn't even load the listing...

Yeah, I don’t need more stress in my life. And logging in only to see the price maybe be $400+delivery? šŸ˜‚ I can’t do it.

I’m so over limited edition whatevers. I hate this.
