Anyone else's orders get split up in an odd way?

Yeah, I've had this happen where I order 4 deluxes and get 4 separate shipments. They've been a bit better about it lately but it is really weird when it happens. I guess they're just coming from different warehouses or releasing on different days.

I preordered all three of the recent SS86s (Frenzy, Ratchet, Magnus) at the same time

And Magnus arrived within past month
Ratchet is in store now waiting for street date
and Frenzy has yet to surface (they didn't rule out that he could be in that Sunday delivery and that maybe they just hadn't sussed him out yet)

At this point I just assume that's how EB preorders go?

Ya, GameStop will just ship once they get the item in stock. I think it's to avoid things sitting in their warehouse and potentially getting lost (cuz they don't want to stick to wait for other items that may not arrive for a while). Plus it's just less bookkeeping on their end.

So it just "feels" weird when things are released at the same time but if something was delayed by even a week, wouldn't make much of a difference.

Got my SS frenzy, Noah, Terrorcon, Nightbird, and Mirage.


Somthing I didn't see in the promotional pics, On Noah the "jet" on his back comes completely off, and it has a peg on it to use in any 5mm peg hole.

Got call my Ratchet and Frenzy are ready for pickup.

Found it odd that I hadn't got an update on the tracking on my Ratchet. Turns out he headed west and ended up in Kamloops, BC before moving on to Richmond.

S'gonna be a bit before he comes back to Ontario...
