I have three TRU orders in "Item located in stock" status. Two of these orders are for not-yet released sets (Rapunzel and Friends Beach House), so I'm thinking there's less than a 5% chance these ship in the next day or two. Has anyone had any order cancelled when in the "Item located in stock" status?

I have had an in-stock status canceled before.  It was usually when there were quantity limits and I had multiple orders in.

I will be shocked if these two orders actually ship. 

I ordered the new wave 2 hobbit sets on 11/25, but they didn't ship until december 1st.  This was after I had made a previous order of wave 2 hobbit sets and recieved them almost a week before they were released. 

Interesting - so you had a few Hobbit 2 wave ship early?  Maybe there's hope...

I also had another order of wave 2 hobbit sets from kmart.com that also shipped early too. 

I have two Parisian restaurants showing as "located in stock" that I ordered yesterday on the BOGO deal.  I'm hoping they will ship but I kind of doubt it! 

Over the summer, I was able to order the last wave of Friends sets from TRU.com about a month before their release date (Dolphin Cruiser, Andrea's Bedroom, and Olivia's Beach Buggy). TRU happened to list them online early and I was able to put them in my cart and check out. And they actually arrived!

 

So there's a chance you may be able to get the sets early, but take the holiday crush into account.

, look at the box Toys R Us shipped my Unimog in with NO PACKING.  They could have fit 6-8 Unimogs in there.  It was still in good shape, thankfully.  I usually get stuff in decent shape from this distribution center, since they are only a couple hours away.

 

My 5-year old at least now has a box to make a car out of.

I don't understand what is going on at their warehouse. I've ordered 3 items from TRU over the past couple months and I've received all of them in extremely oversized boxes.

brickpickers bought too much crap and they ran out of normal sized boxes.

Here's what my innovative wife and son made with that huge box:

Doritos and Cheerios!  They are everywhere and my 1-year old is like a little sweeper that picks up all the crumbs.

If I could share my story, I.didn't want to start another thread. I ordered a batman steam roller set, the shipping box looks fantastic. When i opened it my emerald express' were ok, but the batman set looks like someone stepped on it. How do you do this?
