jbottgen Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Looks like we get a choice of the new smooth balls or the old nubby balls now. There is always the secret prize balls as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-RadG Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Ugh... I had 2 people in front of me and when the person ran in the entire line did and then it said it disconnected me. Anybody else have this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1pizza14 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 ^ I just had the same problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I had a strange one earlier. I first had 2 minutes to go, and I'm assuming the next users konked out as I watched them go in, no action, followed by the next one. So, I switch over to do something real quick (maybe a whole 10 seconds), come back to the Claw, and am kindly greeted by the "You Lost" screen.

CoasterFreaks Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Yeah...same thing happened here. I had all of 20 minutes left and everyone started marching into the tent one after another. Looks on the cam like the claw is dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Anyone getting this? It appears as though the whole thing froze. Claw has not moved for the past 10 minutes now. Edit: Got kicked out/lost connection...got back in line with no real loss...maybe added on 5 minutes of waiting. Looks like its working again. Cloaking devices!

esvadj Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 The Claw seems to be working fine this morning. In fact, I finally had my first win: clawz.bmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
printersdevil78 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Dang! Had a mystery present in the claw and dropped it! On well. I get to try again in five and a half hours.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 In line again, got 2 spots actually, about 5 minutes apart from each other. You'll need 2 different browsers though to do it otherwise it will get all confused and crash like it did on me. If the next 35 people somehow drop out and you catch up, you may see an "Invertigo" and a "Pinball Kitty..." That's me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooksta77 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I'm 10th in line and a present is just sitting there waiting so I'm gonna go for it. -Cookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Starr Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Just won another pink ball! The live cam while you're waiting in line is a little laggy, but once you're playing it's fine. Also, it looked like the bottom of the chute was starting to get clogged, so be careful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
printersdevil78 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 ^Good to hear! I went right before you did and got a false win. Oh well. That's probably the closest I'll come to the real thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 So both game of mine were failure. I noticed the chute starting to back up as well and triggered a false win on my first game. However the balls weren't that far up yet. I completely missed my second turn which was 1 player away from my first attempt all because the dog decided they wanted to relieve themselves inside instead of outside. But this did look interesting when I put both browsers side by side: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willh51 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I won!!! This was the first time I got to play because I always get disconnected. I got a clear ball with some sort of wrapped gift inside. What a cool thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Starr Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I'm in line now, very cool to see some of the workers in line answering questions about the Claw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatertot3710 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Got a false win too. Does anyone know if I'll get a prize for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acciokelly Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 That happened to my boyfriend. If you won but didn't actually win, they'll clear your address out of thensystem since they monitor the video feeds and see what people have won. I'd email customer service to make sure it gets done so you can actually win something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatertot3710 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I'll be sure to do that! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I've had several false wins but declined putting in the address. After the false win, I ended up actually winning something and it still asked for the address as nothing was ever inputted in yet. Once you win and you do put in your address, then future wins it just tells you that you've won followed by disconnecting you. I'd contact them just to be sure though, maybe you can ask them what I've mentioned so that we wouldn't have to keep nagging them each time a false win happens.

thrillrider Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 My daughter is freaking out because it's been 3 weeks, and she has not recieved the ball yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Posted on their facebook: Did you win a prize - what seems like AGES ago - and you haven't seen it yet? The Santa Claw still has you on his list. We've had so many lucky winners, we're just running a bit behind. Email info@thesantaclaw.com to check on your prize. I still haven't received mine yet but I'm sure it will be here soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traincrossin Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 The wait for The Santa Claw is only an hour and a half right now, get in line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 My daughter is freaking out because it's been 3 weeks, and she has not recieved the ball yet. Keep in mind that the prize is "free" and while Real Art does have a mail order buisiness and store, I'm sure they aren't used to having to send out thousands of packages at once. It's like when we have to do a Club TPR mailing when we are used to shipping 30-40 packages per week, and then all if a sudden I've got 800 packages to ship in a couple of days. Give them time...

thrillrider Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I understand that, but my 5yo is having trouble understanding that...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robman Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Here is the email they sent back to me when I asked them about my prize. "We've been estimating a few weeks for prize arrival, but it's starting to be longer than that, especially for early winners. We were delayed as we figured out our shipping process, and some prizes are going out before others, since we settled on a shipping method by prize, instead of by date. We're sending stuff out and it shouldn't be long now. Can't say when it's going out, but we're checking to make sure there aren't any errors with people's wins, and can tell if something has shipped." So hopefully there is an answer to us people that have not gotten our prizes yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
