Congrats! I'm surprised you were able to just walk into an AD in the area and grab a sub date....which AD did you buy it from if you don't mind me asking?

Interesting, that's probably the most trafficked AD in this area with it being in such a touristy mall....well enjoy it

Im surprised at that find as well. Its where most of the Nationals & Redskins shop. I've was told they dont have any SS models and have a long wait list.

Congrats Sir!!!

That is very interesting. I wonder if this is a sign of things to come this year. Now that you have it in hand, can you ask the AD why they had one available to sell to you? Better yet, just go ask for a Pepsi.

Congrats. All I got from the AD I’ve been on “the list” for over a year was a “We’re sold out.”

Momma always said you don't get what you don't ask for....that said....is it rude to ask if I've already inquired a few times over the last few months? (in person and email)
At some point I start to feel like I'm barking up the wrong tree...

Wow BIG Congrats! When I went a few months back, they said they are not even taking waitlists..... I guess, if it’s meant for you, no matter what one will get it!
Enjoy and have loads of fun!
