    What was the excuse for cancellation?

    What do you all mean by hot rod being backwards? You mean the toy after it’s out of the box or its in the sealed box backwards?

    Starscream was also available on Saturday 18th, so looks like more cancellations can be expected. o_O 

    Wonder is it will depend of the area?

    The tray holding the figure and its accessories is facing the wrong way in the box and then sealed, so you see the tail of the car, spoiler and all, instead of the nose of the car.

    I contacted them, they said that they are working to fix the issue and get the items and then I could order when in stock.

    I asked why, in this case, they bothered cancelling pre-orders if they are expecting the situation to be resolved? Big fat eeeeeerrrrm.

    Finally just asked for an escalation,.doubt it will do anything but seriously, if they expect a delay, give the consumer the choice, if they expect never to get it, why was it up several times? We'll see what happens.

    Ordered Hot Rod and Starscream on Saturday the 18th. Hot Rod arrived today (after receiving an e-mail that he shipped and was due Wednesday the 22nd). I also got an e-mail that Hot Rod had been delivered. Checking my order through walmart.com showed Starscream shipped today, due to arrive tomorrow. So far, no e-mail love for Starscream.

    My devastator, which I ordered on the 8th of this month, is still listed as "preparing order" and when I called their online support I was told they are still trying to find the item. Hopefully I get it, but I have a feeling they are just going to cancel all our orders and call it a day.

    EDIT: I was supposed to pick it up today from the store too, so it just makes it all worse.

    Starscream just arrived. Now, when I got Hot Rod, he was in a shipping box where there was plenty of room for him and the packing material. His packaging was pristine. Starscream arrived in the exact same size box as Hot Rod, and his packaging suffered for it. The top flap was bent in to squeeze it into the box and there is dents and other creases along the sides. If they had been shipped together (since they were the same order) this might have been avoided.

    Still, Starscream and Hot Rod are here, so I'm happy.

    UPDATE: Upon opening Starscream, I discovered his plastic bubble tray has melted severely, trapping him further. Slicing the tape on all four sides, I was able to pry apart the two halves of the tray and remove Starscream, who is unharmed.

    UPDATE 2: They painted his eyes! No more fiddling with hard to place stickers! HIS EYES ARE PAINTED!!!
