    Thats just the norm for BBTS. They will just punt things month to month until it eventually arrives.

    I have noticed that the tracking bar on my Amazon order of Tigatron has been inching to the "Shipped" space everyday this week, which means 1 of 3 things, first Amazon will ship out Tigatron the first week of November or they will announce he is delayed until December, or that they will cancel my order. Hopefully this last possibility will not happen.

    Thats automatic. Its just based on the date. It means nothing in the grand scheme of things.

    Anyone know why BBTS "runs" out of preorder stock but will be available again not long after?

    initial preorder allotment sells out so they secure more. Alternatively people cancel and those canceled orders go back up

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    I understand people cancelling but securing more pre orders? Before shipping even a single unit?

    It happens. BBTS has no control over when they receive stock, but if something is selling well then they will do what they can to secure more availability

    I do not know how many people were aware, but Tigatron was available at Amazon again today for just a few hours at retail price.

    He sold out at least four hours after I saw the listing, I even decided to put him in my cart to see when he will be back in stock. Amazon stated "not yet in stock" and had no delivery window. This is the first time in literally one month that Tigatron was listed at retail price on Amazon. I pre-ordered a copy of him on October 14. Maybe he will get released on Black Friday and arrive before December.

    I reordered him the moment I heard he was available again, after Amazon cancelled my wishlist preorder from back in April.
    I rea that those whose Tigatron weren't cancelled, got updated to arrive between November and early December, so now we wait

    I think he meant that Amazon has finally set a release date for Tigatron

    I ordered Tigatron on Oct. 14, and Amazon ever since has had a delivery date of Nov. 5 to Dec. 1.

    YES! Just got a notice from Amazon that my order of Tigatron is "Preparing for Shipment." Also, the "Change Payment Method" and "Change Shipping Speed" tabs disappeared on my Amazon order details page.

    Fingers crossed that Amazon does not cancel my order.
