Preordering from Target.com means you get your orders before people can order them off Target.com after release - which in this case will probably be never. Doesn't really have any bearing on Target store orders.

Well, the 20th is just another week away anymore. Maybe things'll be clearer by then. Anyone spotted the TRU sets?

it's all under Target. they shouldn't be shipping to stores when they have outstanding online orders JMHO. Ideally, they'd fill both.

So am I the only one out here who has now ZERO faith in their pre-order? (zip, ziltch, nada, nai, honma ni nani mo nai!) I fully expect it to be canceled or just delayed again and again. I'll be happy to admit I'm wrong if it comes through but...

Most B&M stores that have web divisions, have seperate stocks. That could be the cause of the delay, trying to acquire more for the online division. I'd be quite upset if they pulled store stocks to fill online orders.

Well, I didn't mean pull things off the shelf; that would ridiculous. I imagine online and stores both get their stock from the same original place whether or not there are steps in between. I meant that they should have sent enough to fill the orders they already had before sending to the stores considering they're exclusives. Theoretically, some online orders could get canceled when stock runs out and that wouldn't happen if they filled those first (since they are already sold in essence). But I guess it doesn't matter as it can't be changed. It is what it is.

Just for fun I called Target (first time for me in all this) and I gained nothing by the 7 minutes I spent. The guy sounded like he was just out of middle school. Target stores and target online have different stocks was his reason, which we all kinda know anyway. He repeated what others have heard when they called, that they don't have any info on exactly when, or IF the orders will be filled. So my read from that was to not hold your breath. But today I'm a glass half empty kinda guy I guess.
