Mine told me to come back Monday for tomorrow’s ad. I might drop by tomorrow afternoon just in case. That seems weird. They should have all of the stuff out first thing Sunday. That’s kind of the whole point. Mine has a line to get in, and the good specials are snatched up right away. I don’t think that person knows what they’re talking about. If you want a platform, get there well in advance of opening.

I was able to get the Tim holtz stamp positioner and case today (Saturday) since my Tuesday morning is not open on Sundays. YAY! they had a lot of them on a “stocking stuffer” rack.

I got some good things mentioned above, even though the huge, bright and beautiful brand new store that just opened nearby has a minuscule scrap section--I had to go to another for scrappy things. This is non-scrappy related, but I know we have some corgi people here like 950nancy . Look--corgi ice packs!There are four to a package for $6.99. SKU 1941654 Ack! I might need those.

I stopped at mine at 11:04 this morning. Found a couple of cases on the bottom of a shelf. Looked all over for the platform. Couldn't find it. Asked an employee. There were only 2 at the store. He said it could still be in a box in the back that the other employee was looking for another customer, another item. I went back there and he couldn't find the box. There was an ad paper at the door. Every single item was circled except for the TH platform. He said it could be because "she" couldn't find it. He did offer to take my name and number and call me when it was unboxed. We will see.

Do many of you have a back-up platform? I already have one but haven't used it much yet since I haven't made time to scrapbook since buying it. I bought one today for my mom and almost got an extra for myself since my store had quite a few. I mostly do PL and the occasional larger layout, but I rarely make cards. Should I pick up an extra if they're still available? It would be worth it if it could help me stamp on photos, but I haven't tried yet with the platform.

I got mine today. I was at the store about a half hour after they opened. I saw 3 people with the platforms in their carts and I heard 2 more asking where they were so I think they’ll go fast. They also had the sleeves so I got one of those as well. cooper the one I bought today is a backup. I didn’t stamp much until I got the platform and you just never know.

I was curious and called the product hotline this morning to see if my store had any platforms left. I was surprised that they had 4 left out of 7 total in stock because myself and 4 other ladies made a beeline right back to the craft section when the doors opened. The Manager said they had many customers asking for them the previous week and I was sure they would have sold out on Sunday.

Picked up a travel platform at my Fayetteville, AR store this morning for $12.99. Looked like there were five or six on the shelf. I didn't see the covers.

My TM had about 12 platforms this morning. I did not see any covers today or in the past. I did get lucky and got 2 packs of thickers I have never seen before, Bell Blvd puffy stars, and a super cute Cozy & Bright tag pad from Pebbles.

The TM where I went (Ft. Worth) had 4 platforms and 2 zippered cases by the time I left this afternoon. I was surprised they still had any in stock. They weren't flying off the shelves like I expected.

I went back to a different TM and they had 5 platforms. I don’t stamp, but after reading all the excitement over them, I bought one for a friend who stamps at crops. But for me I picked up a Thickers alphabet alignment guide. I’m so excited for this find-it’s something I never knew existed, but will definitely use.

I’m not sure which one I got. What’s the difference between the two? This HSN link shows both of them: ETA: let me try again: link It keeps going back to the home page. If you search thicker alignment guide on HSN.com you will see both with a set of thickers.

If you search thicker alignment guide on HSN.com you will see both with a set of thickers. The first pack had a semi circle in it and the second one had straighter lines (on one of them). Mine are all in one pack now so I don't remember the names. I have seen the packs at Hobby Lobby for $9.99. With the coupon, they are a pretty good deal.

Tim Holtz Platform purchase success! The phone line said there were 16 available at my store. I went this morning (Tuesday - Haha) and they still had 11. I was really surprised. I bought 2. An extra for me and one for a gift for my sister. Alas, they had no travel covers left. I think the 'hot-line' said they were supposed to get 4 or something like that, but they were gone. I'm just grateful to get the 2 I did manage to find!

FurryP which new Thickers did you find? Well they are new to me. Sorry, I did not mean they were newer ones. Sunshine Bliss Jungle LifeThey both look prettier in person. Normally I would not be buying the jungle ones, but I think they will be good for a zoo layout

They weren't flying off the shelves like I expected. I managed to get the last sleeve this morning at another TM. There were still 4 more platforms, and the store closer to me had about 12 yesterday. I think they are not flying off the shelves because as many of us that know about this product, there is way more than don't. Here is the product code for the sleeve if anyone is interested: 2046610 scrapaddict702 posted the phone number earlier: 800-901-0881

Swung by TM this afternoon- there was a sad empty spot on the shelf where apparently the platform had been. Good news is that I found the mini envelope punch I’d been eyeing and some Christmas flair from MME that I think will coordinate well with Merry Days line.

Mine had 4 platforms in this week's delivery. Maybe more are coming.

I bought one of those guides a couple of months ago and I too had never heard of them. I got the ones with the geometric shapes. It was fun to use since it gave me more options for title placements. Recently my TM got the other one in so I picked that up as well.

I went to another TM today. They had 6 of the platforms, which surprised me. This was a smaller TM, and they rarely have much of interest, and even more rarely have anything I want. However, they had a few dies and an embossing folder that I bought.
