    I'm shocked they picked up the phone before opening time, my TRU phone line would go straight to a recording. The workers at my TRU are completely clueless. I called this morning (after being on hold for 25 minutes )to ask for Masterpiece Starscream, they said they have it and will hold one for me. After half an hour of driving , it turns out all the had was Masterpiece Bluestreak. They didn't bother to match the name of who I was looking for. Thanks for wasting my time incompetent TRU employee.

    Ditto.

    BTW, what is the rewards card for, exactly? I don't receive discounts when I use it, coupons in the mail or anything else. My wife signed up for it a long time ago, and we've received no benefits from using it.

    Hmmm.... those little catalogs come every month or two for me. Usually there's a 15%, or sometimes a 20% off coupon attached to them. You guys might want to call TRU's account line and check into that, you might be missing out on some discounts! Maybe they have the wrong address listed for you, or something.

    Yup, that's the Rewards Point system. But the coupons are in addition to that.

    So let hope they send it out before it expires. Oh crap, the first preorder was over 45 days ago. So...where did you come up with 45 days?

    45 days used to be the buyer protection period, but that has changed. Now it is for 6 months.

    Lucas M.: Yes once an order is backordered and purchased through Paypal, after 30 days has passed the order will be cancelled and you would have to place the order again.
    nathaniel: I can't place it again. the pre-order is closed
    nathaniel: that is not my fault.
    Lucas M.: And I do realize that it is sold out and no this is no ones fault, you are correct.
    nathaniel: no, it is not MY fault
    nathaniel: is there documentation that i'm guaranteed to receive it and, more importantly, at the $59.99 price point? I don't want to get charged an inflated price of an additional $20 two months after i originally ordered.
    nathaniel: and in my experience with tru you do raise prices on items like this very often.
    Lucas M.: The item is still on backorder and you would not be charged more than is listed in your order and the reference # is going to be the documentation that is entered in the system on my end.

    So if a customer pre-orders a TRU item with PayPal that is 30+ days out from its shipping date, the order is cancelled. If the item in question is sold out prior to its shipping date, the reference # of the original order freezes the price and acts like a raincheck on said item for when it is in stock. Did I get that right, stprime?

    Ouch! I assume you bought it off the shelf, right? I guess you know for certain there's at least one toy-collecting asshole in your ZIP code...

    Sorry to hear that! What a disappointment.
