    No idea. I know the preorder dates went from the 1st to the 23rd last I looked. Looking like there is a distribution issue with a few lines atm. My preorders for MOTU Origins wave 11 got pushed back to next month and preorders on Popcultcha are all over the place.

    i'm not sure on the preorder being pushed back thing on JB, as that could just be a "second batch" of preorders, though i'm tempted to send an email and ask.

    but then again, it's been February 1st for almost 14 hours and my order is still "processing" so maybe they did get pused back

    I'd get in contact if you have orders with them so you know what is happening just to be on the safe side.

    just submitted an enquiry, probably won't be getting a response for a bit considering it's almost 9pm but we'll see in the morning

    Man, trying to decide who to pre-order is very tough. A lot of good picks from the Deluxe assortment.

    ok, now zavvi isnt showing the order pages for transformers legacy stuff

    what the fuck is going on?
    jb still haven't responded btw, and i've not gotten any order confirmation or cancellation message from them



    edit:
    i've decided to cut my losses and order one from Zing, who have him in stock.

    i hope JB havent cancelled the preorders for this legacy stuff, i've found them quite reliable when it comes to finding it

    I know it probably isn't the answer, but I still hope that it indicates that Hasbro are no longer selling to Zavvi :)

    Mmm. It's wave 1 for the new year, so I'm happy to wait for them to show up (massively over-stocked, of course) at Big W/Kmart/Target. (with emergency back-up Amazon orders)

    Tried searching for the evo wave 1 figures on Zing now...no listings. What the hell is going on? Seriously o_O 

    EDIT: Looks like they are still listed on EB atm but Breakdown is now Out of Stock. And of course no Needlenose to be found :(

    Why is that? They're currently the only way the get bwbb prime and bonecrusher, sure they're overpriced, but they're the only option.

    Because Zavvi deliberately fucks people over. The most recent and most loudly publicised screwage was with Victory Sabre - Zavvi took orders that they never bothered passing on to Hasbro, so a bunch of people across Europe were left until after everyone else had theirs to receive a very shitty e-mail from Zavvi.

    They just are a scummy retailer in general, and their bad behaviour can be found all across the internet.

    Also, that Buzzworthy Prime you're after can be had from The Falcon's Hangar in Singapore right now.

    More expensive than my pre-order at Zavvi to tell you the truth.
    I've not had any bad experiences with Zavvi honestly, the few times I ordered from them everything went pretty smooth.

    guy im sorry it's my fault that the legacy evo listing were taken down from JB and Zing, it was my bad for wanting to own a fucking tarn

    jokes aside, how has this happened twice now.

    5 bucks says that if i order one from amazon, then they'll take their listings down

    Ahh we have the culprit lol ;)  I definitely hope that Zing at least honour your purchase considering it is still up on EB and they are the same company.
