The Oh Deer Alan Wake thermoses have been sought after by franchise fans, but it has proven difficult to secure one. They were briefly restocked by iam8bit, but not many have managed to get one for themselves, as they have sold out in seconds.
The “super limited batch” of thermoses went on sale at 09:00 AM PT today and there wasn’t much of a window available, as by 09:01 AM, they were already sold out. Understandably, this has resulted in a lot of upset fans who are once again left without a thermos.
As many on Reddit report, they were there as soon as the blue thermoses went live, but the stock was cleared before they could even finish processing payment. The frustration is compounded by the fact that prior runs were very limited and came with some pretty high shipping costs depending on where you live. Remedy’s response hasn’t helped calm the situation either.
On Twitter, many have already been complaining about how quickly the thermoses have sold out, with some suspecting that there may be bots scalping them so they can be resold at exorbitant prices. A Tweet from the studio’s communications director Thomas Puha doesn’t deny this, stating that it is “common at popular merch drops and restaurant bookings where bots are often used to do the buying” without giving any assurance that genuine buyers will be protected from scalpers clearing stock.
For those still itching to get their hands on one of the blue thermoses, you’ll have to wait until a restock, which won’t be coming until next year.
