Take advantage of that as long as you can. Mine was that way for a couple of years before it got blown up. I think it was exactly the same situation as yours. Didn't get J's, or got them super inconsistently, so nobody knew to go there.
Nice! Also, sounds like you had the true Richard's experience. Nobody seems to know what you're talking about, they ask random people until somebody says "oh, yeah there's a list. Hang on..." :rofl:
Yeah, it's always a different deal when people are lined up for the list. Happened to me with the Reimagined 3's. Resellers had their girlfriends with them claiming the big sizes. That said, I've never had any issue with Richard's when I actually get a pair reserved. Always really smooth.
Yeah, I'm always a little worried on those until I have them in hand. Doesn't matter where it is. FTL, FNL, wherever. But, with the wristband system at Richard's, it's usually pretty solid unless you miss the pickup window.
Buddha, it can't hurt to drop by your Richard's. They have a list...
Locked up a pair at Richard's. Didn't look like they got many. Looked like one of most sizes, but lucky for me, they had two 12's and I managed to get the last pair.
Who did he piss off? I was still watching at that point, but not heavily. I remember he seemed primed to be a huge deal, and then de-push, and he's gone.
