The "Official" unofficial Axe Fx II US Purchase Availability Thread

Inspired
Let's please try to keep this on topic. It is clear not everyone is into the bit of luck game that is trying to be an early adopter of the Axe Fx II. This thread is aimed at those that are into it and to help improve their chances.

I will try to keep this first post up to date with the latest availability information. So here it goes.

History so far:


6/14 - For sale ~2:15PM EDT, sold out in 90 second, 2 confirmed units sold. FAS said units would be added daily.

6/15 - None for sale. No new updates from FAS.

6/16 - For sale ~2:06PM EDT, rumored to be 6 units, sold out in less than a minute. Another batch (3 confirmed units) arrived at 4:27. It sold out in 2 minutes. No new updates from FAS.

6/17 - Batch at 2:02 EDT.Sold out in less than 20 seconds. Only one batch for sale all day. No new updates from FAS.

6/18 - None for sale. No new updates from FAS.

6/19 - None for sale. FAS implements a wait list system. Buy it when its available for an extra $400 or get on the wait list and get a $400 off coupon.

6/20 - Unit(s) on the site at 3:11pm EDT. Sold out in 10 seconds or less. Second batch at 3:22 EDT. Sold out in about 30 seconds.

6/21 - Batch at 1:32PM, sold out in about 20 seconds. Two people called FAS and they both were told no more today... but there was a second batch at 2:52. Not sure how long it took to sell out. 3rd batch at 11:25 EDT. No news of wait list folks getting coupons yet.

6/22 - Batch at 2:49 EDT. Sold out in about 30 seconds. Second batch at 4:42 EDT. Lasted about 2 min. No word on wait list coupons.

6/23 - First batch around 12:45PM EDT lasted about 7 minutes. Second batch at 4:40 EDT and lasted about 2 min. No word on wait list coupons.

6/24 - Batch at around 11:30, went quickly. Appears most, or all, of Friday's orders have been cancelled. No word on wait list coupons.

6/25 - None for sale as expected. FAS gave a small update on coupons saying they need to wait for premium demand to subside. with the Ultra that took about a week but that it would likely be longer with the II.

6/26 - None for sale as expected. One week since the wait list was announced. No coupons yet sent.

6/27 - None available for sale. FAS will be switching to new software for sales. Perhaps a way to thwart 'bots, allow for reserved inventory for wait list, or both?

6/28 - None for sale. No new store. No word on wait list.

6/29 - None for sale. No new store. No word on wait list.

6/30 - None for sale. No new store. No word on wait list.

7/1 - None for sale. No new store. No word on wait list.

7/2 - None for sale. No new store. No word on wait list.

7/3 - None for sale. No new store. No word on wait list.

7/4 - None for sale. No new store. No word on wait list.

7/5 - None for sale. No new store (some sort of speedbump?). No word on wait list.

7/6 - None for sale. No new store. No word on wait list.

7/7 - None for sale. No new store. No word on wait list. None sold for 14 days.

7/8 - At least two sold on the secret new store w/ coupons. Not in the order of the wait list. No word on new store for the public.

7/9 - None for sale. No new store for the public. No word on wait list

7/10 - None for sale. No new store for the public. No word on wait list

7/11 - New store, waiting list started getting served. A few for sale at premium price.

7/12 - A few wait list coupons went out, handful of people bought at premium price.


Update 7/16 - I wont be able to update this thread anymore. The premium units seem to go on sale around 2pm and last around 20 minutes as of 7/15. The wait list is being services with about 4 to 5 forum members a day getting coupons as of 7/15 (unknown number of non-forum members).


NOTE: some of these "extra" batches may not be additional units. It appears at least some, if not all, are extras of people who attempted to order more than one.



Me personally: I don't have one, yet. Once I get one I plan to continue to help others get them for a while.

Good idea. Is there anyway to repurpose the "poll" function so we could try and "unofficially" track how many units have been sold over time? I'm guessing they are pumping out ~20-25 units a day, max. I'm just going to stick with that assumption which gets us around ~100/week to the GP? Doesn't sound like much, but what can you do?
Figure there may be a thousand (plus or minus a thousand lol) freaks like us out there? I would expect to wait 2+ months. I can't wait, I'm not really that good of a guitar player anyway so my "fans" will be okay ;)

Ah that would have been excellent. Unfortunately they won't let me add it.
 
After the success of yesterday's refreshathon thread (http://forum.fractalaudio.com/lounge/37604-6-16-refreshathon-availability-update.html) that unfortunately had a thread name that suggested it only reflected purchases for 6/16, I've decided to create an "official" long term thread. The purpose of which is to share known availability of the Axe Fx II.

Let's please try to keep this on topic. It is clear not everyone is into the bit of luck game that is trying to be an early adopter of the Axe Fx II. This thread is aimed at those that are into it and to help improve their chances.

I will try to keep this first post up to date with the latest availability information. So here it goes.

History so far:

6/14 - For sale ~2:15PM EDT, sold out in 90 second, unknown qty. FAS said units would be added daily.
6/15 - None for sale. No new updates from FAS.
6/16 - For sale ~2:06PM EDT, rumored to be 6 units, sold out in less than a minute. Another batch arrived at 4:27. It sold out in 2 minutes. No new updates from FAS.
6/17 - None for sale as of 10:30am EDT. No new updates from FAS.

Me personally: I don't have one.

Please refrain from the discussions of 'bots or scripts as the moderators of this forum have asked that they not be used.

Mods: this is my attempt to help prevent the many threads that get posted about the availability. Yes I see the irony is creating a new thread on it. In that spirit feel free to lock my other thread.

Really appreciate doing this! Hope you get one soon!!!
 
This thread is a great idea, just what us F5 enthusiasts need to keep level-headed. I just hope it doesn't get deleted like the rest =P

They only get deleted when it turns in to bashing the process. As long as it stays helpful and upbeat, and stays away from the issues of bots, scripts, automated buying, etc, then it shouldn't get deleted. I for one like this thread, so that when i come back from the bathroom, i do a quick check as i'm refreshing, to see if i missed it. and yes, if you've read my past posts, i wasn't going to continue doing this, but it's just too exciting, this is why i don't gamble at casinos very often. I CAN'T QUIT!!
 
How about a poll where the only people who post to poll are the ones who get them?
Then in the thread, the ONLY people who post are lottery winners detailing what method they used. Other communication can be through PM.

Thread would contain ONLY most relevant info: how many are going out each day, and how people got them.

Maybe "Ron Pirate" could help me get a poll added to this? Was thinking just a listing of dates from the start for the next two weeks and someone votes based on what date they got it. I did vote for him in the last election. :)
 
any f5 dudes work?

I have 2 monitors at work. About every minute i press add to cart on my second monitor, and work on the other one, i think if i can't pull one today, i won't be able to do this next week...IT might start tracking me, haha

Edit: And i have been blessed by the work gods to not have as much on my plate this week, so i've been able to take my turns at "add to cart"
