- PodBrix employs better methods to help with overselling Young Woz and Jobs Playset goes on sale in two days 
After a long hiatus, the latest PodBrix custom minifig product Young Woz and Jobs Playset goes on sale in two days (8/29/07) at 9:00 PM EST time. Re-creating the early years of Woz and Jobs collaboration the Young Woz and Jobs Playset is a 300 unit limited numbered edition and features meticulous detail. What ideas was Jobs percolating in his subconscious back in 1972? The included mini thought bubble attempts to answer the question.
Hand created by Tomi, each playset contains a young version of Jobs and Woz immortalized in minifig form. The backdrop set features a desk with custom made computer, circuit board based project in progress, and a 2001 style calendar marking a fateful date. Woz holds our choice of either a tiny screwdriver or wrench (not pictured). The reverse of the backdrop displays the limited edition unit number and is signed by Tomi. Some assembly is required.
Each Young Woz and Jobs Playset will sell for $39.99. More details and product photos will be available on the PodBrix.com site at 9:00 PM EST time on August 29th.
PodBrix employs better methods to help with overselling
As you may or may not be aware, PodBrix has had issues with overselling some of our limited edition works in the past. Previously we have had to refund some customer payments because we were not able to fulfill all orders. This is obviously frustrating to all involved. When a product sells out in seconds or minutes and hundreds of orders are coming in at once it's very hard for the online shopping cart to stop sales quickly enough.
Because of this, PodBrix is employing new methods to prevent accidental overselling of future products. We have re-written the shopping cart software to more quickly track legitimate incoming orders. Also, we will be holding back a 10% reserve of whatever the limited edition run is for each product (e.i. 300 units we hold back 30 units). This means if you are trying to order at the product launch and you see the item go out of stock, please wait 10 minutes or so and we will make the remaining 10% of units available for sale giving you another opportunity to purchase. Please keep this in mind when ordering.
