If you are in the Gamma thread, you will see that quite a few people missed out.
@NewZ05 just said he got the OG 1's manually. I would have gotten them manually on FNL if they hadn't screwed me during checkout, had a size 11 in the cart. Obviously the Prelude III's had an early link, to that is an entirely different beast. Can the Oregon's be gotten manually... sure, but its probably not very likely. You can compare ping (mine is decent to the nike store) and internet speed (mine is only 16-18mbs) but it really comes down to sheer luck and availability at the end of the day.
