    Certainly hope so,but then I recently ran into a situation at my dealership where two similar cars going in for service got mistaken to be a single car, So I'm not assuming things will work out until they work out. :)

    That’s really on them. We all knew that chances were good that they’d be a few months early. We all discussed it right here on this forum warning people to be prepared. Now, I was expecting August, but mid-July is pretty close. I hope everyone is prepared for Motormaster, Megalo Convoy, and Delta Magnus to all hit next month, along with the wave two Deluxes. Because that’s a distinct possibility, especially with the wave two Voyagers already out.

    the Wave 2 Deluxes are already out in Singapore and Europe, it's only a matter of time.

    luckily i'm prepared for Motormaster and SG Magnus, and don't forget Velocitron is going up next week.

    at this rate i'm gonna have to wait on getting Cyberplex until he goes on sale or something

    Yep, as I've said in a couple of different threads. If you're on a budget then figure out what your average preorder amount is per month and set it aside. Don't do what a lot of people seem to do and spend it when things don't arrive that month. Only use it for things you have preordered and replace the used amount each month. But we've known how this would go down for some time now. If people are failing to prepare it's really on them.

    I don't think it's a failure to prepare. Most people that I've heard from were expecting items a month early as that's how things have been trending, almost 6 months early is a big difference.

    Running into a bit of an issue with Amazon. I'm keeping track on Legacy Motormaster to see when it comes up on preorder, but every time it does, the site doesn't allow me to preorder, and then it's magically out of stock again. Anyone else having this issue?

    Update: My credit card has been charged separately for each of my Twin Twists late yesterday, so hopefully that means they'll ship very soon even though the arrival date hasn't changed from November.

    Well, 3 and a half months in this case. But we knew going in it would probably be 2-3 months early if everything went well because that’s what happened last year.

    Pro-tip for amazon. You can pay on them over time instead of having it all hit at once. Just load money onto your account and then apply it to your orders. That way if there’s still a balance when it ships early, it’s not as much of a balance. It keeps you from spending the money on other things, too.

    I only ordered Twin Twist and the Leadfoot set from the Wreckers collection. My Twin Twist was updated to arrive today at around 6 p.m. last night. Then it shipped at around 10 p.m. last night. Thought that was a bit odd given how most others in this thread have theirs arriving Wednesday of next week.

    Weird, only my Twin Twist charged, but not my SS DOTM Bumblebee, SS86 Arcee, or SS Arcee, SS Ironhide. Even though the last two said they were in stock.

    ^Thanks! Enabling 'back up payment' seems to resolve the payment issue for me in recent days.

    I signed up for the Amazon Prime 30-day Trial a couple weeks ago, I noticed I could no longer update the payment method on ANY of my pre-orders I placed before Prime. Oddly, new pre-orders placed with Prime I had no issues changing payment methods.

    Customer Service couldn't update it on their end either, nor did they tell me to enable backup payment as a solution.

    They basically told me nothing can be done besides placing a new order. I asked them if they could let their technical team know what was going on, but they didn't seem to care, lol.
