I also told the wife about the flaking (she has one of the first day release Smiths), to which she replied "what are they doing with their purses, I've abused the heck out of mine and its no worse for wear". First I had heard of the flaking was here, but her Smith has been to hell and back and is practically factory fresh.

Your wife has the exact same reaction as I did!! But quite a few were complaining about it, so I thought I would pass on what I knew. :)

Do you mean the original Smith bags or are there reports of the new bags flaking, too (I thought you mentioned the letter carrier).

My guess is the Smith bags with the flaking were defective. I had one of them. There were a few bare spots when it arrived (white showing where the black/grey was scraped away), but the bags were so hard to find, I kept it for a few months. It started to flake at the top and on the sides, so I returned it for a replacement. My bag went from an upholstered chair in my dining room to the passenger seat of my car to the carpeted floor under my desk. You would think to look at it that I was scraping it on the door of my car or office every day. Nope, just defective. The replacement, which has been treated the same, is still in perfect condition several months later.

I got one of the Xmas interiors as a replacement. I admit, I'm not as fond of the green/red interior combo as I am the purple and I wish I'd sent back a second time for one with a purple interior.
 
When should I be up looking at my computer with a credit card? 12am eastern? 2am eastern? At this rate it may be an all nighter until I get it ;) I'm determined and am going to try as hard as I can.

The new items are loads at 12am pacific so 3am eastern. Some of the times it was almost 3:30am. Good luck
 

Good luck to all. I was so very close to HM Smith bag 5-19-14 (was a Monday). Check out starting on page 36 of this thread. The post time stamp says 2:00 AM for first buyer who posted getting one. By the time I got on to Disney online, literally 2 1/2 hours later, they were all gone.

Best wishes to all! Think I am just going to sleep through it and be happy with my new D&B non-Disney black leather tote!
 
Also keep in mind there is no guarantee these will be available tomorrow. It's all rumors and hopes and assumptions up to now.

So very true. The Monday in May was a totally random day. I just happened to be awake due to my son's college graduation day. Don't think it was an anticipated release day, but Monday has been the day of the week for release in the past.
 
Could someone who has the letter carrier give its dimensions? I thought I saw somewhere that it's 10x10x3. TIA! :flower3:

Yes I know! But I at least want to try! :) thank you all for your help!
You won't be alone :) count me as another crazy person trying to buy a purse at 3am!
 
I'm up too. I'm on the West Coast so it's only 11:20. I'm tired and I don't think I can stay up too much longer though. Ugh, I want the Tote so bad!!!
 
I'm up but not buying one. I wish.
Mostly curious if other styles are available.
Someone post a screenshot if they do go up?
 
been trying since 2 EST. i haven't seen anything yet. keep looking on the HM page and the Dooney page and nothing.

i tried the direct link to the Smith bag and nothing there too.

i'm about ready to go back to bed.
 
Hello fellow crazies :)
Been up since 2am est also. Figured I may as well wait another 10 minutes and check one last time at 3am. It's not looking good though...
 
I work overnight So I am usually up when the store updates. In 16 minutes we will know :goodvibes (I am hoping for a LC :thumbsup2 )
