Hi @tyme . Thanks for replying to my post. Coin collecting is an interesting hobby and 1 that can be done with not much effort if people like to collect coins from their change, like I did initially. I’m glad you like coin collecting! 

My housemate tried to get the Bluey $29 collection on the Monday when they were released via the Auspost website in the morning but the page kept on crashing and had issues with the payment and the internet in general- she’s with Optus - and she thought she’d missed out. She asked me to try via my iPhone and my internet connection- I’m with Telstra - in the afternoon and I was able to get through and place an order for 2 sets (1 for each of us) so I was successful in the ordering and payment section. The only stress was the issue with auspost needing to confirm the payment due to security reasons/issues with the collection which took 4 days with me having to call auspost to ask what was going on and if I was going to get my order. Within an hour of the call, I got a confirmation email and the coins arrived yesterday morning. As you may be aware, there was a big demand for the whole collection, especially since people know that different countries like the US are crazy for all things Bluey, and they were aware that some people were placing big orders so they could onsell them for a massive markup on the internet, which is why auspost had to be extra stringent over how many people ordered online. Apparently, I heard that some people lined up at auspost shops and purchased huge amounts and wiped out the supply before others could get them, most likely to sell in the internet as I stated before, although I do believe there was probably some genuine buyers as well who wanted them for their own collection or for their children/grandchildren as well.
