Walmart Empire of Ice pre orders delayed indefinately [CLOSED]

So I ordered or pre ordered rather the EOI set on Walmart.com and have a relative who ordered several copied for himself and children. As of Friday I called to check on the status and was told by several CS reps and 2 different managers that the Pre order has been cancelled for ALL EOI sets from Walmart.com The exact note for the item states " No stock industry wide, pre orders not fulfillable, cancelled". Payment was returned on 1/23/11 after some investigation.

I asked if I could just wait for it and the answer over and over was nope, the pre orders have all been cancelled and the item removed from the walmart.com orderable item list.

Just a heads up that if you pre-ordered EOI through WM you will NOT get it.

Maybe walmart had an arguement with Activision over supplies and decided to drop it for reals.

Walmart is just being stupid.

What's up with Walmart and Skylanders pre-orders? I pre-ordered Cynder, Double Trouble, Camo and Warnado from them a few months ago when they had them on their site and they sent me an email saying that my order has been delayed until June. When I recently asked them about my Cynder and Double Trouble order, they told me that there was " a glitch in the system" and it will be delayed until June also. I'm not going to order anything from Walmart ever again.

Don't know the reason but since it's all just business with Walmart I'm thinking supply isn't adaquate and so they cancelled all of them.

They're probably just getting tired of not having a concrete date for release/ not having a lot of stock in /tired of getting a million calls and messages a day about whether or not they have anything in store or online.

One of the Walmarts I visited yesterday had gotten a "new shipment" in, but it turned out to be Drobot/Flameslinger/Stump Smash/Prism Break/Voodood. I'd say to just keep looking around for one though. You'll find it eventually.

This is the one I got:

Thank you for your recent Walmart.com order. Unfortunately, one or more of the items in your order have been delayed. These items may not arrive by the original estimated delivery date and we are unable to provide you with a revised delivery date at this time.

We are working with our suppliers to ship these items as soon as possible. If we are unable to ship to you within the next 10 days, we will automatically cancel this part of your order, refund your original method of payment, and notify you via email.

If you prefer to cancel now, please reply to this email or call Customer Service at 1-800-966-6546 Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. (CT) or Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. (CT). We will forward the cancellation request to the shipping facility. Please note that because our suppliers try to ship orders as quickly as possible, your order may ship before they receive the cancellation request.

Call them and you'll be in for a surprise.. Mine also had a 1/30 delivery date ( also 1/13 pre order date). Called them on Friday and that's when I got the " none is stock, none expected, order cancelled" It's now an online order discontinued item. The reason your order sill shows open and valid is because it was a pre order so nothing to cancel technically except the reservation for a copy of one. Trust me, you will NOT get it as they are not shipping ANY out because they are all going to the retail stores. The 2nd manager actually told me after much venting ( by me) that over 22,000 pre-orders for this item were cancelled. Yes they had 22K in less than 24 hours! The kick in the balls is they won't let you know that it's actually cancelled until you press them. They will string you along for months first.

Just cancel the order manually and go to a retail store to buy one. You'll end up missing one if you wait for your never coming pre order.

Oh, and I was told that ALL singles pre orders will be cancelled too but not until June when the estimated delivery date has passed.

Mine was due on 2/2 and I got this email today (in part):

"Thank you for your recent Walmart.com order. Unfortunately, one or more of the items in your order have been delayed. These items may not arrive by the original estimated delivery date and we are unable to provide you with a revised delivery date at this time.

We are working with our suppliers to ship these items as soon as possible. If we are unable to ship to you within the next 10 days, we will automatically cancel this part of your order, refund your original method of payment, and notify you via email."

With reading the rest of this thread, it seems assured that my order will be cancelled. I have already moved on with the TRU order and I will cancel the Walmart order now without waiting.

Wow, this is pretty sad. Walmart is being stupid.

I'm glad I didn't rely on them and ended up buying one from a physical store and cancelling my order weeks ago.

I'm sorry for everyone who got screwed over by them. smilie

Thank you for preordering one or more Skylanders Adventure Packs from Walmart.com.

Unfortunately, due to an industry shortage, we will not be able to fulfill any preorders for the item(s) listed below. We may receive inventory at some time in the near future, possibly February or March, but because we cannot guarantee a date we have canceled this item(s) from your order. We're sorry for this inconvenience.


Did wallyworld just stop ties with activision or activision's distributor? This is beyond intriguing for me.

I ordered 2 eoi from amazon last week (one for me and my daughter, one for my gf's 2 boys). i was going to give it to the boys as a gift this weekend, but turns out they ended up buying it for themselves. so, i can either ship it back or ale it at a reasonable price, say 26$? should cover shipping.
I wont get them until 2/2

Im thinking something along these lines. Two Walmarts around me have removed the portals and have replaced the space that the figures used to be with wii accessories.

I was shopping at the wally world that I go to on an almost daily basis and saw someone futzing with a drobot. That was the first skylander I have seen in that store since 12/28/11. The display is still there and I was getting a tad worried that they were going to ditch the line.

Agreed. Seems like a place that sells stuff on pre-order should have a REALLY good idea how much stock they will be receiving. I can't imagine that Wal-Mart would take 100,000 pre-orders of Cynder if they didn't know they were going to get 100,000 figures (just throwing numbers out there).

Sounds like Activision hosed them. And if that's the case, I can see why Wal-Mart would take the Skylander displays down. Wal-Mart plays hard ball with suppliers. You don't screw them over.

It might not even be that they don't know how much to send out, maybe they can't even make the figures fast enough.
