I had one last night... well, actually, it was more of a nightmare than anything.
It was a Monday evening, the usual time in which new Intrada titles are announced. Except somehow I had forgotten to check up on the website to see what the new titles are. I logged in about three hours after they were publicly announced for ordering, and, much to my amazement, one of my holy grails had been released - The Super Mario Bros. Super Show (Ironically enough, I had made a request thread about it a month ago - ). The front cover image looked something like this (pretend it was professionally made, rather than my quick cut & paste job):

The problem was that it was limited to 1000 copies - not even bothering to check out the other release (couldn't remember what it was, something horror-related), I hurried to put SMBSS into my shopping cart and check out. Only, by the time I pressed the Submit Order button, it gave me an error message saying it was out of stock. So I refreshed the main page... SOLD OUT.
I panicked and went to Screen Archives to try to order it there, but it was gone there also. Not even thinking about other options, I got pretty upset and angry that I had missed out on one of my beloved scores, and I had proceeded to start a new topic about it on the FSM boards to vent.
A couple hours after THAT, I finally remembered about MovieMusic.com. I went there, created a new account (I'm not registered there), placed three copies in my shopping cart, checked out... viola, they still had copies left over! I was guaranteed to get my CD, and two extras to possibly sell off later at inflated prices.
Then I woke up and realized that it didn't happen...
Any similar dreams/nightmares/horror stories for you guys?
