Good news: both SS orders (4 total) have shipped and will arrive on Friday. Devy kinda shipped, but really just the shipping label was created. Hope it arrives this weekend.

Bad news: got 2 emails about delays for 2 of the minibots. Luckily it's not for Bee, which is really the only one I want.

All in all with HR already delivered, it's not too bad.

 

Got the dreaded "if we can't fulfill yadayadayada you ain't getting your stuff" email.

At this point the joy had been sucked out of this and I'm like, whatever. I'll get what I get but Walmart had sucked all the fun out of this, it was supposed to be fun. Ah well.

Did get a job offer though, lol.

 

I received my SS and Devy today. Piss poor packaging gave my SS a flap crease now. UHG!
Still waiting on the minibots. Has anyone actually received any of these yet?
I believe I was the first person (at least on this forum) to pre-order Bee (he was listed first). Hopefully the minibots show up tomorrow as quickly as the other figures did today.
BTW, I received the delayed order email for each of the 4 minibots about 2 hours ago.

 

Same shitty packaging on my SSs, bent the flap. Devy was in a bit snug in a box.

 

I just received a backorder notice on Tailgate. That order has been in since 8/14. It is a good thing I ordered two on separate orders. Maybe I still have a chance. The better news is that Devastator now shows shipped. I wonder if that is factual.

 

Well my ss's are in state but not at the store yet so hopefully tomorrow.

I also got the email about my minibot orders being cancelled if not instock soon.

 

My aug 21st order of SS apparently shipped to my store as of today.  My status changed from processing to shipped.  Now to worry about shipping damage.  Lol.   Baby steps.  

 

Devastator has now shipped (supposed to arrive tomorrow - coming all the way from California, sure Walmart...sure); Outback and Tailgate are now preparing to ship.

No movement on Bumblebee yet - hopefully he won't meet the same fate as Swerve.

Edit - Bumblebee is now preparing to ship.

Yep - I'm afraid everything will turn out like that poor dude from Facebook's Hot Rods. I posted this before, so it's an oldie, but a goodie:

My fears were confirmed when I picked this up at my Wal-Mart, the HR was packed well with 4 of those bubble packs and the HR box is in GREAT shape. Now I feel bad that some of you MOC guys got shit condition boxes and I got a great box and I'm gonna open it. Well, it's not gonna be worth shit anyway and it's meant to played with . It's my first ever HR. I do hope we get these in-store soon so everyone here can finally breathe easy and we can finally support these reissues .

 

That’s called adding insult to injury...or vise versa rather...
After almost a month waiting for Devastator and getting a cancellation and then him being in and out of stock twice in the past 48 hours...I’m not optimistic.

 

Did Walmart offer you a job? Wtf???

 

Devy is good condition. I’ll keep this one sealed in hopes of getting another

 

Swerve ordered July 20th now says backordered and if not shipped tomorrow will be canceled and a refund processed. So, same as others were having.

Nothing about Bee yet, but he says he's supposed to come Sept 5th so I have little doubt he will meet with the same fate by the 4th.  

 

Roddy is back up!

 

The Swerve I ordered on Sunday says it’s preparing to ship. I’m reeeally dreading the other shoe dropping. If my pending charge posts tomorrow, I’ll feel better about it.

 

Well packed

 

Got my SS delivered today after being delayed from ordering on the first day. Came in perfect shape. BB went from being delayed to cancelled today. Other mini bots are still being prepared. Already received Hot Rod and Devy last week.

 

How do I watch this forum to get alerts? I’m on an iPad.

 

There should be a "Watch Thread" link towards the top of the page.

There is a "Watch Thread" button, at the top right corner of the page, just on top of the first post, on each page.
Cheers!
