Hey everyone. New here, and felt the need to post my story on the Halloween Reserve this year.
I was looking forward to the release this year, and refreshing Blair's web page what seamed like every 5 minutes on 10/31 from the time I woke up. I finally gave up about 10:30 as I had to get up for work @ 4:30 am on 11/1. The first thing I did was check the web page when I woke up. I was so dejected to see it sold out less than 5 hours. I hit the 'contact us' link and enter a message asking if there is a waiting list, and if so how do I get on it... I continue refreshing the page for the next two weeks, hoping the 2010 Halloween will show as available. I hear nothing about my 'contact us' comment, and then give up.
Fast forward to 12/12. On a whim, I decide to check the web page again. Holy %$*&, it show as 'available'!!!
I place my order (along with a few additional goodies.
On Monday of this week I get a call from Blair's. "Your spot on the waiting list has come up, and we have a bottle of 2010 Halloween Reserve available for you."
It turns out my 'order' on 12/12 would not have gotten me a bottle, it was my 'contact us' comment that got me on a waiting list (which they never told me about).
I am happy to say I received a box from Blair's yesterday, and have added the 2010 Halloween Reserve to my collection. I am a little disappointed that there was no display case included... I will add pictures after the holiday if anyone is interested.
Chris
PS - I was told by Karin @ Blair's that the 2010 sold out in 42 minutes this year.
