    I placed a very large order with MU in early March before the price increase and was impressed that they called me to confirm the order was legit as my billing and shipping addresses were different. I just received my first pre-order: Bomb-Burst. I had to sign for it which really surprised me as they probably paid more to ship it than I paid for the figure…does anyone know if they normally do that?

    I've never had to sign for anything but my co worker has. He said that customer service said that for larger amount orders they require a signature upon delivery or they will drop off at CVS? I'm not sure what the larger is though.

    My first few orders I had to sign. Later on I didn't have to. Strange.

    Haven't had to sign for either of my two orders that have shipped, but they were both single figure orders if that has anything to do with it.

    I preordered a bunch of Marvel Legends, Studio Series, Black Series, McFarlanes, and other misc preorders and ordered some NECAs at the very end of Feb when the March code went active on MU.
    A total of 24 items, only 2 things have shipped.

    I noticed that for a bunch of stuff, the available date keeps getting pushed back deeper and deeper into April.
    usually DD and MU ships out stuff earlier than other sites, but now, nopeee.

    I used the code before March even started, so surely I’m a tad bit more guaranteed to not get hit with backordered, right? Do they have a first come first serve system?

    I don't think any of us know how they prioritize orders.

    I will say I think they likely prioritize their movie distribution over side items, which all the toys would fall under. It's very possible they've got everything warehoused right now and simply haven't worked the pallets since none of them are near the release date and they have their main business to handle.

    Yeah, my Scraphook got pushed again to 4/12 now. At this point I'll be shocked if it actually ships at all.

    That would make sense if they didn't ship before release date before for toys. But they did. I'm getting anxious..

    Well we are still before release date on legacy evolution wave 2 and all the Rise of the Beasts stuff. I can't comment on the other stuff.

    The whole Scraphook thing is weird, but Amazon didn't get him in forever either so I think there was something weird happening behind the scenes with him in general.

    Right, other than Scraphook, nothing else is behind schedule technically.

    We're just all antsy because this time everyone else is getting stuff first. :lol

    I have been to. So much so, I picked up Shrapnel in stock on HP last Friday. I had him on a big MU23MAR order. Also put in an order on another site for the couple Classified Torpedoes I PO’d from them.

    The Ultimates Snake Eyes I got from MU was supposed to ship 3/29. It has been moved to 4/12.

    I did jump on the clearanced MP Getsuei from Deep Discount on Friday and got the shipping notice on Sunday (the shipping method says Cokem - SIG USPS Priority/DC, whatever that means), so hopefully at least that comes in this week. If the Guardian Robot ships around 4/10 like it’s listed, that won’t be too long of a wait.
