It could simply mean that there will be a change in these items, significant enough to defy the original descriptions sent to the retailers. I am only guessing here, because they are using the old Stinger Body and Chassis in the promo photo suggesting that it was a hastily put together mock up. I also feel that what we assumed to be a weapon holder on the fender, was an illusion.
I'll worry when they put a hold on the FLAK/ CLAW set. Last edited by txbart; 11-21-2008 at 02:09 PM.. |

I wonder if EE oversold and/or didn't get as many orders for other items in that case and decided to eat sales as opposed to having a bunch of other stock sitting around. very possibly they may have lost some purchasing credit with the current financial markets and as such couldn't order what they expected. they'd probably rather send out a BS email about product no longer available than an email saying they've lost purchasing credit or didn't make enough sales to bother... not saying that's it, but could be.
i ordered 6 full cases from BBTs and they're still all good, just checked, and they still have preorders for cases & all single vehicles except the CLAW/FLAK which is sold out. |

Mine from BBTS say backordered.
But until hear this happening from others besides EE, I'm not going to think of them as canceled. Kind of odd that it's only EE so far.

I've got a big backorder on my preorder. It also went from the top of my preorder list to the very bottom.

Willing to bet that it is another case of the TRU firefly vs greenshirts... Wasn't that also 'canceled'? I bet it will be out in the same time frame. Just some sort of goofy thing going on down there...
