    I think people are more concerned as to whether Toys R Us is actually going to release these now, or if the sale/release date has been changed back. So all the people that ordered were under the assumption all is well, but TRU may be changing that.

    Same here with the 'your order is shipping' e-mail. Looks like TRU decided that people who got in their orders when the listings were up fell under the 'alright to sell early if the items are on the shelves' exception that Hasbro allowed for the streetdate.

    I got the same e-mail as well, maybe they learned from the CS Soundwave fiasco

    EDIT: I guess now I know why Ohio's been getting all these early releases, the items that I ordered from TRU are all coming from Ohio

    Hence me saying:
    To my knowledge, TRU.com hasn't played Cancel Shenanigans* with items that were listed as in stock and ready to ship. Just preorders. Or have I missed a fiasco?

    Out of curiosity, did the folks who've already gotten shipping notices use Google Checkout or TRU.com's checkout?

    *Cancel Shenanigans, coming soon from Milton Bradley!

    I used TRU.com's checkout, since I wasn't ordering enough to get the benefit from the Google checkout.

    Seeing the other replies so far about who used Google and and got shipping notices (as well as the one so far who has noted not getting one), which checkout was chosen appears to not be a determining factor on things going smoothly for this situation.

    Appears that Toys R Us has Optimash Prime in stock! Yay!

    And he is only $9.99 and FREE SHIPPING! Only came to $10.84... alot cheaper than some listings on EBay. It shows IN STOCK. I assume that, if they could not sell this, they would have taken it off like they did with the other items from this posting.

    So excited!! Been looking all over for the cheapest. Did not think I would find it here.]

    Yeah, apparently not. It was just a thought -- I was thinking maybe that the use of Google could've added an extra step, causing an extra delay.

    I used Google, and they haven't shipped so far. Ah, well. I'd imagine they will by Monday.

    We're talking about receiving e-mail notification from TRU.com that our orders have been shipped FROM them, not that we've received them. The pertinent item status categories on TRU.com include:
