A girl I know went and said after the first hour or so the stock was depleted badly, but the pricepoints were very low, people just grabbing away... She doesn't know if they are restocking but I've been to the Helmut sales before and don't recall them ever doing so. Like Soft, I have never found anything but I have never been first in line either.....and I agree about her Century recommendation...
rder: ...everyone ...let's just drop it...
