A lil’ storytime, bear with me - I was one of the few who won the MY3.0 allocation in September (not pre-order).
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the e-mail come in, considering I had been away for travels and didn’t exactly rack up a high score during summer camp. That was the moment I thought I’d lucked out with the year going so well, and the Mars Yards have always been my grail. I remember resale prices being 5K USD for the earlier versions. I promptly paid and had my order canceled due to the forwarder address. Had a lot of back and forth e-mailing TS Store, even had help from people in the US to call them to get them to respond to my e-mail. Many links were resent but they just couldn’t seem to work.
I never gave up contacting them, even though my friend in the US has given up calling the store and suggested they’d probably sold my pair. Up until 2-3 weeks ago, I had been e-mailing them every few weeks to follow up. Lo and behold, finally the link worked and I decided I wasn’t going to risk it. I’d pay extra for direct shipping to my country and even bear the taxes. Shipping was $50 and taxes roughly $45. Only took a week via FedEx.
Just wanted to share this really special moment with all of you. Super happy to finally own a pair of Mars Yards. Amaze amaze amaze!!
Edit: I also saw several owners recommending going TTS, so I was worried going half up would’ve been too big but after trying them on, I’m really glad I went half up.
