tru will honor all order that have been preorderd using the 25% off coupon..

BUT anyone that used baby10 may and could have problems... im just saying to be carefull thats all again if it goes though great but if it gets deleted you know why...
this was why some members are warning others to re place your order just in case.. thats all

I understand if the coupon fiasco would result in people in Ontario not getting the MP. But for the people out west who have pre-ordered and not received theirs yet, is what I don't understand. If the warehouse sent out shipment to the stores, wouldn't they send out shipment for pre-orders if they get it from the same supplier. I know that the online and and store are somewhat separate, but isn't it from the same warehouse?

can anyone clarify?

You are not making much sense of this situation.

[laffy]

Let's clear this up..
-Soundwave is likely not going to ship out till after Aug 31st
-Anyone that has used the 25.off coupons are fine
-Anyone that used baby10 code may have issues
-Soundwave will likely not hit ontario stores till after Aug 31st due to this 25 off coupon.
You can belive me or not

[laffy]

TRU clearly does not want us to use these codes on preorder so what does this all mean well you know

The Online store and the instore all ship from the same Warehouse just as all across Canada. But this is the same problem the US TRU's are having also. They have over 600 preorders online from when it was released in July and still shipped them out to stores.

Like the US, I don't think they expected so many preorders and reason why they have a December 31 shipment date (cover my ass date). What is being shipped out now to stores I believe is the 400-600 units across Canada which is the first shipment. Making it about 2 boxes = 4 units per store across Canada and different stores will sometimes get more then others.

I heard, the second shipment which will arrive November - December will have 1000 units for Christmas.

They may be meeting the demands for preorder but in partial orders meaning some here and some there because the Stores also preordered these long before they went up on the site. Stores tend to do all their purchasing the year before the season/quarter so they have product on time. I know Hasbro has been having alot of delays in shipments not only to Stores but online toy sites so it best just to sit tight and eventually he'll be around.

The only good thing with a shipment date so far away, if you find him in store first you can cancel it. Plus, TF's at TRu are alwasy going on sale so with a 2 weeks price adjustment you can buy him and hope there is a sale within the time frame to take back the receipt and get it adjusted.
