Got it!

I was refreshing constantly from 1156. At 1200 it took a lot longer to refresh, so I guess there were a lot of people suddenly trying. Then BOOM at 1203 I was in!

It must be the 10th time I've tried to win a free octopus plushie. First time I've got one!

lol, you were not the only one ..... but I missed it

Initially it said "generating code" and then it just sat there for a few mins ..... I must have been right on the cusp as I refreshed and it was out of stock :(

Got one this time around

Again it was 3 minutes past when the new set became available. I think most people give up by then because the refresh got quicker between 1 minute past and 2 minutes past the hour.
