Yeah, I figured it would be a nightmare too so I made sure to get mine in at 12:01. Hopefully I got all I needed lol. I didn't buy any wedges because I plan to convert my Eight Ball Deluxe to bayonets. I really hope I'm not in over my head on that one 
Ryan, what's brighter, or are they about the same: your original 1-LED bulbs, or your new Retro-SMD bulbs?
Quoted from daveddd14:Hey Ryan- any idea when the Pop Bumper Discs, 555, Red will be back in stock? I was able to get everything I needed (and some things I didn't need) but wasn't able to get that for my Getaway Pop Bumper (Red, Yellow, Green). TIA
That was one of the other problem bulbs. There were a few items that didn't arrive before the sale...but product is coming in today. So, sign up for an email notification, so you'll know when they're back. If we haven't sent out your order yet, then you can place a new order without paying for shipping and we'll combine them.
Quoted from Budman:Retros are out of stock
Unfortunately some are, but not all of them.
Quoted from jibmums:Ryan, what's brighter, or are they about the same: your original 1-LED bulbs, or your new Retro-SMD bulbs?
They're basically the same...but if you're splitting hairs, the SMD Retros probably are a hair brighter. The LED style (which are discontinued but some styles are still in stock) don't last nearly as long (probably hundreds of hours), but the SMD style will be thousands of hours.
Quoted from Darscot:I placed my order last night as soon as it went live, the way people in this thread were talking I figured items would sell out.
me too!! late night and eyes were a little blurry, but i made it thru! order shipped already!
Quoted from toasterman04:me too!! late night and eyes were a little blurry, but i made it thru! order shipped already!
Yeah mine shipped as well, talk about being on the ball.
Quoted from WonderMellon:Just placed my Comet order, but the pop bumper kits are already out of stock.
Are the troughs still available? That's a great deal, and they usually run out.
Quoted from daveddd14:Hey Ryan- any idea when the Pop Bumper Discs, 555, Red will be back in stock?
Hey daveddd14 Conveniently, these arrived today. You can do an add to order and get 'em!
Quoted from WonderMellon:but the pop bumper kits are already out of stock.
What are pop bumper kits?
Also, if you must post about things we're out of...please be more specific so you're not misleading others. Do not condemn an entire family of bulbs just because one specific type is out!

Dang it. I needed those too. I didn’t figure they would have come in today. Oh well

Also, to anyone here posting about things we're out of...please be more specific. Do not condemn an entire family of bulbs just because one specific type is out!
Fair point! I was not specific. I am not a fan of colored GI lighting so was looking for warm white. After rechecking, I do see colored options are available. Sorry for not being clear.
Quoted from ryanwanger:Hey daveddd14 Conveniently, these arrived today. You can do an add to order and get 'em!
Done. Thanks for the great customer service.
Ryan, I was only able to spend 200 this year but thanks for doing this. Don't feel bad about the complaints. Most of us really appreciate this.
Quoted from nitrojcrawf:Dang it. I needed those too. I didn’t figure they would have come in today. Oh well
Yeah, awful timing.
You can still add them to your order without paying for shipping if it hasn't gone out yet. Message me if you don't know what that means.
Quoted from WonderMellon:Fair point! I was not specific. I am not a fan of colored GI lighting so was looking for warm white. After rechecking, I do see colored options are available. Sorry for not being clear.
Are we talking about the pop bumper discs or something else? We don't call anything a "pop bumper kit". Just wanted to make sure there isn't something I can help with!
Quoted from daveddd14:Done. Thanks for the great customer service.
Our pleasure! Things are moving really fast today as you can imagine, so just trying not to mess anything up!
Quoted from RustyLizard:Ryan, I was only able to spend 200 this year but thanks for doing this. Don't feel bad about the complaints. Most of us really appreciate this.
I shan't scoff at $200 - that's awesome! We really appreciate it. Lunch for the team all weekend is on @rustylizard
Quoted from ODENONMYSIDE513:Big shout out to Ryan, thanks for taking care of my order when I goofed it up, you the man!
The same from me. Ryan gives the best service and communication! Thanks for this sale, Ryan! 
Quoted from ryanwanger:Are we talking about the pop bumper discs or something else? We don't call anything a "pop bumper kit". Just wanted to make sure there isn't something I can help with
Yes. Pop bumper disks. Hoping to put them on most of my games. Looks like warm and cool white are out of stock.
Sorry I missed the sale on these, but I did pick up retro and 2smd lights. I can’t compete with RustyLizard... my order only came to just over $100.
Thanks for having the sale!
2 smd sunlight frosted - sold out -
I was in the middle of putting the order in & got the "sold out" message; oh well there is always next year.

For those of you following along at home, that was a four month supply gone in less than 24 hours! 
I'm...speechless.

Wow, congrats, Ryan! And I second (more like thousandth) the excellent service sentiment.
So did I win? ☺️

Get used to it. You run the best pinball LED company on the market. People are finally realizing it.

Apologies. I'm partly to blame. These bulbs are my go-to, so I placed a healthy order. enough to convert 3 pins.
Whenever someone who wasn't/isn't able to get everything they want out of our sale, it definitely hurts! I really do feel really bad about it, and am very sorry. It's certainly not intentional. Although it probably doesn't seem like it, we have been getting a little better at the sale each year...but this year really drives it home that our projections are never enough. We'll take a much bigger step next year. Might require a bigger office.
Quoted from IdahoRealtor:Apologies. I'm partly to blame. These bulbs are my go-to, so I placed a healthy order. enough to convert 3 pins.
Totally not your fault. We actually have some maximums in place so that they'd be available for all. In theory.
Quoted from cp1610:Guess you didn't realize how much your product is loved and talked up in forum threads.
There have been some incredible threads lately on here and Facebook, where by the time I see them, my comments aren't needed because you all have handled it for us already! It's very humbling and makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Those types of threads get passed around to the entire team (which is 5 and a half people...and the half is moving away in a few days).
But still. Wondering what we should do for next year...8 months worth of inventory? More?
Definitely the best LED’s on the market...
Looking forward to see how the fire leds look like in real life ..
In my haste had to set up a new account and put the wrong email address.. 
Order #43921
Cometpinball has already corrected it for me ...
Definitely the best customer service I have had...
Thanking you
Dave

It's my fault. It's all of the advertising I have been giving you when I go out to fix my vintage pins. 
For those playing at home, Ryan does the best business of any of the LED companies. Best customer service and quick (well, little slower durning holidays ) turnaround. I just got an order a month ago restocking for a couple projects and still managed to get a $200 order in last night. I don’t think I have even had a bad bulb come from them and I’m pretty sure if you did and let him know there would be a replacement in the mail the next day. Ryan is a class act in and age where actions should be what people are judged on not words.
You haters keep whining and I’ll just keep plugging orders in to have the nicest looking games bacause of him!

Awesome! Unfortunately, I didn’t need anything on the sale list, but I placed an order yesterday anyway.
Are you going to ship orders from full paying customers first, or make us wait in line behind all those freeloaders?
Just sayin’ 
BTW, I put in my order notes to remind you that I don’t like Tootsie rolls. I can hardly wait to see if you honor my request or if you choose to spite me.

No problem Ryan! I still got a good many neat things, so I'm happy. I learned my lesson for next years sale! 
The early bird..... !

You're probably going to get a box of nothing but Tootsie Rolls.

Someone beat you this year by $26. 
Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:Are you going to ship orders from full paying customers first, or make us wait in line behind all those freeloaders?
Interesting idea...we ship starting with the orders who saved the least. Ha!
Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:BTW, I put in my order notes to remind you that I don’t like Tootsie rolls. I can hardly wait to see if you honor my request or if you choose to spite me.
If Tootsie Rolls show up, you won't know if we're spiting you, missed the note in all the madness, or have nothing left but Tootsie Rolls. Who doesn't like Tootsie Rolls anyway?!? It's not like we're talking about Circus Peanuts.
Quoted from MurphyPeoples:No problem Ryan! I still got a good many neat things, so I'm happy. I learned my lesson for next years sale!
Thanks for the good attitude. I'm still sad that we've run out of stuff.
Are those flavored Tootsie Rolls any good @daditude?

Why are you wasting time responding to imbeciles (oh wait, I was one of those asking questions)? Shouldn’t you be fulfilling orders? Maybe you have elves that do all the grunt work at your LED factory?
Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:Why are you wasting time responding to imbeciles, shouldn’t you be fulfilling orders?
That's it, peeps for you!
Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:Maybe you have elves that do all the grunt work at your LED factory?
This is still true. Except during Black Friday. I've been the dedicated checker...so if there is anything wrong in your order, it's my fault!
Quoted from SeaLawyer:Even with my add-on of the 100-pack sunlights??
Not sure. I'll get our data analysis team on it right away!
Quoted from ryanwanger:Are those flavored Tootsie Rolls any good daditude?
Personally, I prefer the flavored Tootsie Rolls over the original.

Ha! Glad I'm not the only one! I still have a huge supply of 2smd bulbs, but I placed an order for other stuff anyway. Happy Holidays!

If it was me it was the last second add of the sonic cleaner dust.
