    I am, but I believe there was a news report indicating they'd been delayed until December.

    Aside from the stuff I'm waiting on to hit clearance (Devs, Ult BB), I'm caught up on all the TFs that are out there and have been working on my Iron Man collection... a lot of that stuff is cheap (under $10), and I've had packages arriving almost every day for the last two weeks straight. :lol

    Meh, I've had a few of my Macross figure preorders go 6 months or so. The delay for my Armored Vf-25 left a 5 month wait, and I preordered the Macross Quarter ship in July for release in December! :banghead: 


    And the wait for overseas is annoying. As is how Japan Post's EMS tracking page is updated slower than the USPS one.

    Depends on what you ordered. The USB drives are "supposed" to arrive in Oct.

    I've had a device label on pre-order since May

    When will I learn that I have to be absolutely specific? :lol 

    Yeah, I've heard the flash drives are Oct/Nov, and the others are Dec/Jan. I've preordered all of them and am looking forward to seeing what they do with this subline.

    My neighbors know how to tell when i am getting a package.
    they see me playing with the curtains or blinds at my window as though i am expecting the cops or a hitman...
    and i make nine trips to the driveway for no reason.

    i do the exact same thing, and why not what is life if you dont get that stoked about stuff that you consider cool. ...i also wanted to ask if we can teleport protons, why cant we teleport transformers, now the internet brought us close but imagine what a teleporter would do, at least for take out.

    I got you all beat. Try having to wait 6 months till you can get to any of your mail. I have a $1000 pile o loot waiting to ship from BBTS right now. And even then it'll take 45 days to get it Parcel Post.

    I hate it when tracking says 'arrived at destination country' and I expect it to be delivered tomorrow then it says AWAITING CUSTOMS CHARGES and another few days to a week is added on top before its released!

    I bought a mint/complete G1 Skullcruncher almost 2 weeks ago. Seller is located in Canada and I was told to allow up to 3-4 additional weeks for it to clear customs. I've bought from international sellers before, so this isn't the least bit surprising, but it's certainly frustrating.

    The last 13 hours are the hardest for me because that's the amount of time it takes for it to appear in my mailbox after USPS says "delivered" on its tracking page.

    I'm currently waiting on Two packages, one full of Animated and one full of RiD, which I made a Killing on. One of them got delayed, so they put in a few "Mystery Figs" in to sweeten the deal.

    It's like waiting for Christmas =D

    I hate when you FINALLY decide to order something and it's a National Holiday or a 4-day weekend. Now THERE is a irritating wait!

    Since lastweek I have been waiting for my SDCC 25th Anniversary Soundwave to arrive. I was expecting it to arrive today from Fedex and they did'nt show up.

    I went to their website and it said I should receive it tomorrow.
