Welp, these reponses are a little alarming.

Re: GameStop.ca (formerly EB Games) Transformers Sightings and discussion

Yes which store had your preorder on the shelf in Winnipeg?

I also had my last few preorders sold to other people (and I was never called to pick them up) I basically had to call them to confirm arrival everyday after the release date and hope I get ahold of them before it's sold to someone else.

I've already brought it up to management once but the situation is not improving.

They need to setup a system that blocks the sale of an item that is preordered to someone else but I dont think their system is advanced enough to do that yet.

Kildonan place i had went in to pick up trashmaster and found my core snarl on the shelf. The employee said nothing else came in and when she looked on the shelf there was snarl.
She said it may have came in ealier so my snarl sat there till i came in.
Their system is screwy.

I got my call for Core Snarl yesterday. Picked him up after work the same day.
Had to go into Gamestop once a week the last three weeks because my preorders for this wave trickled in. First with Bombshell, then Trashmaster and Detritus the week after, and yesterday with Core Snarl.

Great, same Gamestop for me. Only I wasn't in town when I got the call for Trashmaster. I was able to pick him up when I got back (before the 4 day edge hold was done), but never got a call or anything about Snarl. So I guess it's safe to say mine's gone. I stop by and have a chat with them after work today I suppose.

They really need a new system or something. I feel like this never happes with games though. When I was really into gaming I used to pre-order collector's editions all the time and have no issues, but with figures it seems so common place.

...glad to see I'm not the only one.

"Just Transformers!" was my hard-and-fast rule for the longest time.

Then, Classified Zartan (one of my faves from back in the day) appeared....

"Well, I kinda HAVE to get that..."

It's been all down hill from there.

Long story short: After giving away my original, o-ring Cobras/Joes - I'm now re-collecting them all again in Classified form. :|
