I have to say that I am impressed so far with how Etoys has handled this sale. I know that they have been absolutely swamped with orders.

I have been ordering since 1/12. Nothing has shipped yet but all my orders have been broken down into packages - even the order I placed this afternoon.

I have experienced many horror stories with online shopping so we will see how Etoys performs under the pressure. One person claims that he could tell how many orders had been placed between two of his orders by looking at some log. Not sure what he was using to judge this but he said there were 300,000 orders in between his two.

Given the magnitude of the sale it wouldn't surprise me.

I really wanted to buy this item

etoys.com

but then I figured that I would get into BIG trouble and it would probably come back to haunt me anyway :-)

Still haven't ordered my Make Your Own Root Beer set. I almost got those JamCams but they sold out right when I was completing the order...so the root beer will have to wait. I am buying this pig.

Since I haven't shorted ETYS in awhile I suppose I can't create a ETYS pig....but I am sure I will come up with something.

However, I think I will pass on this for the pig collection:
