Just received an email from Target informing me that my Rattler and Conquest are going to be delayed (and shipped) in November. I also had to confirm that I still wanted them. I had until the first week in October to re-confirm the order....if I didn't they would be cancelled. What is going on here? Anybody else get this? I fear this isn't a good sign. Guess I'm off to search for them in the store..........Cya

mine still says:
"Delivery estimate: Sept 8, 2008 - Sept 10, 2008" I ordered them as soon as they came up on the site though, i dont know if that makes any difference |

I got the same bull crap message. I can't tell you how pissed off I am. I never pre-order things and the one time I do this is what happens. What a bunch of crap. I new this was going to happen the second I hit the submit button for this order way back when.
Sorry for the harsh talk but I just found out and my son and I have been waiting for this to come so we could play. SIGH......well now the long wait until November. i will get the ones in the store long before I get my order I bet. |

I think what is going on is TARGET gets x amount of these in. Then you probably said ship in as few packages as possible. So, the people who pre-ordered fastest got the x amount going to online orders. You were say the next one on the list so X +1. Therefore your on top of the list for the next batch they get in.

SIGH......well now the long wait until November. i will get the ones in the store long before I get my order I bet. I wouldnt worry about it man. We all know Hasbro screw over more than just the collector. I wouldnt blame target for this. Target probably purchased for example 10,000 and then hasbro sent them 3000. Its just like what they did at BBTS. Hasbro is very consistant with being a continuous letdown to the fans and the retailers. With all the complaints retailers are getting from eveyone upset about not getting joes, and the constant price hikes i wouldnt be suprised it Hasbro gets snubbed alittle bit in the near future from major retailers. I think it would be great if Walmart and Target discontinued carrying joes. Maybe Hasbro would get the point and get their sh*t straight. Its like they deliberatly sabotage themselves.

yeah Hasbro should learn from Jakks...they ship on time, if not early..follow their release dates and ship QUANITIES out! You'd think Hasbro would finally learn the demand for these (25th joes in general) but no! they continue to produce less.

This is why I preach about limiting preorder quantities per customer...
Still kinda sucks that the preorder listing was up for two or three days and we're still going through this. |
