So since the comic con shirt is part of the deal of the day does this finally mean its no longer "backordered"?
Also looking at the deals it appears I should have bought the additional things I wanted at 50% off as I don't think the deals are gonna be what I was expecting them to be. I had an additional 50 bucks (25 after discount) of stuff in my cart that I removed so I didn't buy everything I wanted before the other 27 days of the sale. I sure hope that they come up as good sales so I don't kick myself for not getting them at the 50% off.
Update: Just checked my previous orders and the one with the con shirt is now listed as submitted to warehouse. Now just gotta wait for the season 3 dvd and all my orders should be on their way to me.
but they have actually added a few more things to the store.. I bought quite a few things during the 50% sale, but I'm coming back today to pick up the new outatime personalised number plate (I'm just about to buy a new giant fridge, and this is SOOOO getting attached to it by some sort of insideous magnets+glue combo )
and some random things like the bone dvd's, a few sam and max season 2 casefiles to bring me up to 50 squid for free shipping
if any better offers come up (like another 50% off on christmas day.. or whatever) I might get another license plate to hoard
Cool, today's deal is just what I was looking for! Too bad the SBCG4AP bundle with the DVD still shows up as 29.99 in my cart. I'll just have to grab the DVD in my next order.
I got:
Both the Bone games on CD
Ode to the Stuff in the Sink
The Book of Grickle
Strong Bad T-Shirt
Sam & Max San Diego Comic-Con '92 T-Shirt
Tales of Monkey Island T-Shirt
Sam & Max Symbiotes Figures
If I had the money I would have got the soundtracks bundle, the TOMI art set, The Devil's Playhouse poster set, The drinking Vessle and the Shot Glass...
Hopefully another 50% off offer before this ends, but after my pay day?? :P
would maybe have been good to postpone buying the preorder until today if that was the only thing I was getting, but I used the preorder to up my order cost to get free shipping during the 50% off sale.
I guess the money I saved on free shipping + 50% off is better than having to buy 25 dollars worth of other stuff on this deal to qualify for free shipping today (seeing as the card pack means it will need physical shipping).
If you missed the 50% sale its quite a good deal, if you got the preorder during the 50% sale there is no need to regret it, and if you preordered the game before the sale started then at least you don't have to pay for physical shipping (or looking for 'other' stuff to buff up your order with to qualify for free shipping).
pretty good balance by telltale
I'm still hoping for at least another % off deal before the sale is over though
Well this sucks, doesn't it? I mean, yeah, I expected Back to the Future to get some form of promotional deal eventually, but before the first episode is even out? Geez.

Todays deal mentions getting the BTTF card game as well as a copy of puzzle agent, but when you add it to cart and start working through the purchase details there is never a mention of the card game.
Gotta admit, today's deal is sweet. Although I already got BTTF during the 50% off... so bit too late.
Would have got the cardgame then if it was available, but it wasn't. And buying it now I still need to add other stuff to get $50 (worrysome the free shipping at any cost error gets fixed and then shipping will need to be payed anyways).
Well shoot uh lets see here
During the holiday sale I have bought Sam & Max Freelance Police - The Complete Animated Series
^(bought this on the day of the comic con shirt deal I dunno I guess I didn't click on the right thing but it didn't seem to have worked) Flaming Max Hat (Black)
Flaming Max Shot Glass
and Tales of Monkey Island Deluxe Edition
Sam & Max Surfin' the Highway (Paperback)
Previously I had purchased in separate sales
Sam & Max Save the World
Sam & Max Season One Bonus Disc
Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space
Sam & Max Season Two Collector's DVD
Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse
Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse Collector's DVD
and then I bought these things but I don't recall if they were discounted or not:
Sam & Max: the Devil's Playhouse Poster Print (signed)
Sam & Max Season Two Case File
Still waiting to get the s&m animated series dvd and the season 3 dvd it says they are on backorder or something
it is aparently 50% off today... guess tell tale are having some sort of problem with their 30 days of tell tale calendar not working
it all seems a tiny bit messy, but I guess I can't really complain too much about another 50% off sale (although I probably would if I had missed it.. like I think quite a few people will, seeing as the deal is displayed wrongly on the calendar page).
hopefully as many as possible will read this thread before the deal is over
Thank you alfdaur! Ive just bought the last couple of thing i was missing from the las 50% deals: 2 shots of glass from good ol Max, Monkey poster and the SnM Case File 2 (is Case file 1 will comming back?). Regards to all and keep the good deals comming, and we are going to keep buying
the 30 days of tell tale calendar just got updated, now shows the glorious 50% off deal
edit: and now the rabit is in number 13... could have sworn he was in number 12 when it was still the half price monkey island offer... I guess maybe the calendar didn't go forward correctly last midnight?
edit edit: fine print, each deal aparently runs from 11 AM PST to 10.59 PST the next day. which would make it 19:00 GMT to 18:59 GMT (for those of us stuck in the snow in the uk).
thing is, I could have sworn that I used to go to bed at midnight-ish UK time and wake up to a new deal every day. Either the hidden people have started to get to me with all this snow, or the timeframe has changed, or something else completely (but probably still involving hidden people)
edit edit edit: I just realised.. someone has been changing the timeline!
edit x 4: actually, if tell tale HAS been having problems with their calendar then it WOULD make sense of them to change it so that the 'transition' between deals happened when they had staff in the office who could sort stuff out if anything went wrong. Am thinking though that while the calendar itself changed at 11 AM PST people could make use of the 50% discount quite a while before that.. maybe they only changed the calendar but not the store discounts?
I think.. I think I just saw something red flash by outside my window... my second story window
alfdaur, at 6:54pm (like 3:54PM Argentina time) the deal didnt appear on the site, so i took advantage of your advice and buy with the 50% off. So, no, you are not crazy
edit: and now the rabit is in number 13... could have sworn he was in number 12 when it was still the half price monkey island offer... I guess maybe the calendar didn't go forward correctly last midnight?
Correct. Let's see if it updates correctly tomorrow, otherwise it might become a tid difficult to take advantage of the deals...
Free delivery worldwide really got me going. I've been hankering after some of the stuff in the Telltale Store for a long time now and I'm finally getting them! (Along with some extras to make up the $50 requirement. ) I ordered these on the first day of the sale for 50% off.
- Sam & Max Surfin' the Highway
- Sam & Max Season One Soundtrack
- Sam & Max Season Two Soundtrack
- Sam & Max Season Two Casefile
- Sam & Max Symbiotes Figure Set
- Sam & Max Freelance Police - The Complete Animated Series
Sad part is... we (I) already have everything in it... Oh well...
Agreed. All I'm missing out of today's deal is three of the W&G episodes and Bone. Seeing as how I still can't get Wine to work properly on my Mac, I couldn't play them anyway. I bought SBCG4AP last week when it was 10$ to play once (when!) I get it working, and I horked my mother's computer when I visited her in the US to play Season 1 of Sam and Max.
Looks like today's offer is the same as yesterdays, guess they think there's some more milage to get out of it yet tbh I'm not sure what there is left for me to buy in the store, but I'm sure tell tale will manage to get one more order out of me before christmas is here
Cmon, 4 days with the same deal? alfdaur is right, i think most of us bought all that we can. Do a deal with the Posters!!! Or with BTTF :P (that would be AWESOME). What do you guys think?
Same deal today? Again?
Wouldn't it have been a better idea to plan out in advance the deal for each day? It's seems like it's been pretty improvised as of late.

Don't though...
Only 20 more days to try and get more of my cash...

I wonder if today's deal is the non-internet activation one since it mentions 'retail'... or is it TTG's version which does?
Huh, I'm confused. What does Wallace and Gromit have to do with the Deluxe Edition of Tales of Monkey Island?
It WAS free season of WAG on DVD for free with any purchase.
Today's deal changed all of a sudden?
Actually, you can still get WAG for free with this code: EWG-6HV-KZX (at least, until midnight PST)
No, the downlaod one on TTG.com and therein the same DVD version.
Some more issues?

"Today's Deal: 50% Off Any Back to the Future Merchandise!"
There is the logo "Back To The Future The Game"...
What does it include? I tried adding the license plate to my cart and no discount showed up.
Seems to me nothing is included... I just added these things to my cart, and there are no discounts:
