I am a bit bummed... I was not able to snag any B-52s before they sold out (*Kicks work in the nads*).

well here's hoping I can get my hands on some next time they are up

You and me both man

Unfortunately, the list of people who had signed up to be notified when the B52s (and several other clones like Sawtooth) were in stock again was a lot more than the number of plants we had available to put in stock at the time.

Some of the baby B52 Flytraps have grown very well this season and are looking good, so there will be a few more B52s for sale this year.

uuugh, I missed it too!!!!

TC3, they were avialable this morning, did you happen to get any this time before they sold out?

Negative

I was out of town this weekend (hence no reply until now)

At any rate...

Next time maybe

Grrr Allen mad! Allen very mad!! Someone needs to disarm Allen!

I wasn't able to get any of them either. What makes me even more upset is the fact that I received the notification at 3:00AM and I went to bed at 2:45AM that night

Hopefully we'll all be able to get one eventually...

We could change the time of day at which the in-stock notifications are sent. What would you think would be the fairest time (a time that would give everyone or almost everyone an equal opportunity)?

That isn't a bad idea...

but in almost all cases, the further east you are, in the country, the better your chances of getting a plant while one is in stock...

That being said... I cannot think of a solution... maybe sometime in the afternoon instead of morning... say hitting at 3:00 PM Pacific time, that way most of the states are up and able... instead of the east coast waking up 3ish hours before the west...

Im on the east coast, I like it how it is I got the notification but held back. Dormancy is right around the corner for me and I need to make sure the plants I have make it through. Next year is a whole different story! Cant wait!

Obviously around 11:00AM-noon mountain standard time to ensure I'm awake even on the weekends

Actually though, I do agree that sometime more in the afternoon may be better (although it seems that often times the B52's sell out BEFORE the notifications get sent since they're quite popular).

love shack ye ye ye

Can either Matt or Steve tell me if there will be anymore VFT seed released to the Internation Store this year?

Apologies! I didn't realize we'd let it run out of stock. There is more available now
