They said Discontinued Order..? Help!

Yet they still say Shipping Soon..

I think that is just stuff getting translated. Mine said discontinued order also but it has shipped. They also changed my last name to the german version of it.

Yet they still say Shipping Soon..

"Discontinued" is a mistranslation from Google translate. It would be something similar to "Cancelled" if that were the case. I think it basically means it is locked in and to cancel you have to send in a request, which may or may not be honored depending on how close the box is to actually going out the door. "Shipping Soon" means it is fine and will likely go out today. I noticed the same thing back when I got Scarlet Ninjini, but had no problems.

In case anyone needs the regular Ninjini check your Gamestop wishlist...it is showing up for me.

I ordered Scarlet Ninjini from here (got one the first time, now it's one for my nephews' birthday next week and one to let loose on eBay or Kijiji), and it also translates as "Discontinued" when I copy into Google Translate. However, it also translates another part as "Sent", as well as listing a delivery date of May 4th. However, I suspect the 4th is the outside limit and will likely appear sooner, last time it was 6 days until it hit my door, 7 days total until it was in my hands.

The funny thing is, Google Translate is one of the most effective translators I've ever used (I only really speak English, and I'm born and raised and living in an area which is primarily French, so I've needed translators often over the years)... Also, part of why it's so good I suspect, it lets you correct portions of the translation, and when I try to correct "Discontinued", the suggestions all seem to be some form of "discontinued". And I don't want to type in "Completed" - which is what I suspect they're going for - because I don't know for sure the correct translation in this case.

So Matteomax, don't worry, for me all indicators - besides this one - is that everything is fine. Also, I remember a similar - probably the same - scare back in March when I ordered her last time. She did indeed come, so this time should be no different.

Just ordered mine, wish Id had enough in my wallet to get a polar while I was at it. Hopefully order he next payday.

Ill wait for the lightcores, since im 100% theyll get released in the us. These last 2 varients seem to be up for debate.
Still need Granite though

My order of 4 LC Pop Fizz, Chill, and 1 Triple Pack 7 showed up as discontinued order, but today I got my shipping notification. They are on there way to me, incase stores here don't see them due to stores over ordering.

So, don't let that discontinued order throw you off.

I finally got confirmation for my order (there was a hold because I have my credit card set to freeze for overseas charges until I approve), and it says it should be here (Ohio) by Weds. May 5th. 6 days for shipping from Germany, I'll take it!

Got a shipping confirmation yesterday! The 4th is the approximate arrival date.

Decided to actually check what happened last time, when we were all pre-ordering... Near the release date someone started a "Scarlet Ninjini - Estimated Delivery from Amazon.de" thread (//forum.darkspyro.net/spyro/viewposts.php?topic=76500 ). On the release date, March 14th, these are some of the posts that were made...

Does anyone actually speak German (better than Google Chrome)?

Mine shows shipping soon (to the US, if I'm lucky..), but it is listed as "Aufgegebene Bestellung", which is being translated as a "DISCONTINUED ORDER". Also, under order status it says "1 Bestellung in den vergangenen 30 Tagen aufgegeben", or "One order in the last 30 days abandoned".

I'm really hoping that this is a bad translation of "Open Order" or something ...

"Aufgegeben" CAN mean abandoned, but that is not its meaning here. "Posted" would be closer in this context. All it is saying is order placed.

Mine says the same thing, and translates the same, but it still says it'll ship today (disturbing since other people here are reporting changes, like that's it's shipping now). It looks like it's not possible to place orders anymore, so I think that's what the negative stuff means.

By my estimation it's now 8am in Germany (I know it's 8am in neighbouring Holland, and last I knew they're in the same time zone), so we should be seeing stuff soon, those of us who aren't seeing anything yet.

EDIT: I notice a change! When it's showing my order summaries, the More Options button (one of the few things I don't need a translator for) now only has 2 options when it had 4 before, when I was trying to find a way to up the order to 3. Now I can only Cancel or Write a Review.

"Eine Bestellung aufgeben" means "to place an order".

[EDIT] Oh, too late, CrazyCanuck already explained that.

So there you go, EXACT SAME worries last time, things were fine, and here two people confirmed that "Discontinued" or "Abandoned" is a mistranslation, that in this context it means the order was "posted".

I did notice yesterday that the money went out, I was charged for Scarlet, so she should be on her way. It says expected delivery March 4, which is like 10 days, but last time they estimated 7 to 10 days and it was 6.

Fixed!

It starts with an M, close enough. LOL! And your Bold didn't work.

Yeah that is fail.... I am tired. Been up since 3 am.

Seems mine shipped, should be here mid may

Mine allegedly should have been here today, but that was asking a bit too much! I can wait.

Saturday is not a business day and in most cases for international order especially you're best off waiting until monday. Saturday and sunday from what I know they don't usually do deliveries for international orders.

Mine says it should arrive by Tuesday now, 5 days for an international order? Even though I have Prime that seems really fast. Fingers crossed to get her before the week is over though!

I should have my pile o crap by end of week.

Got my two in today, much faster than before as I think it only took 5 business days this time.

My order is due this saturday here in NY. So hopefully it comes, otherwise maybe monday.

I think their estimated arrivals are working better now as mine said it should arrive today and they did. My polars should arrive by saturday according to amazon.it. If they don't I would assume by monday at least.

My order is due tomorrow! So excited!

My order arrived today, right on the estimated date. They look great!

I wanna order it but all sold out, oh well ill just have to wait until they restock again.

I ordered my LC PopFizz and LC Chill. The delivery date on the web site shows 5/4/2013, but the confirmation email says it will be delivered between 5/7/2013 - 5/13/2013. I figured it would take 10 working days so I am shooting for 5/9/2013. It took 9 days for Scarlet to arrive.

2x Scarlet Ninjinis just arrived at my doorstep right on schedule. I'm pretty happy right now

-Grishnaar

She came earlier today!!

She has a near perfect paint job, but her lights are kinda dim and her head is kinda high up on her neck, plus she has a dot on her chin.

Yay!!!

Got it today, 3 days after estimated date.

As expected, her paint job is sloppy. When on the portal her light-up effect looks like she's a zombie. A bit of green is in her eye as well, not just where the eyeliner would be but like right there inside.

Yup, I think I'm gonna just go hunt down the other three on my list and call it a day with Skylanders. This whole sloppy production work becoming more frequent with the figures is unacceptable.

I saw her in smythes today but did not pick her up since I got the regular today since I don't like her colour scheme at all and I don't collect varients,in game or not.

Any places in the UK I can order SN from apart from Smyths toys...they let me down.

Yeah, I've been seeing some terrible paint jobs lately, mainly on the Giants.

I'm disappointed, last time it was 6 days from release to my door for Scarlet Ninjini, this time it's been a week and a half already. I checked, and it wasn't waiting outside my door (like Polar Whirlwind from Amazon.it was yesterday, yay!). I'll check if I have a delivery attempt slip in my mailbox soon.

I got mine today. Two days after it was supposed to be here. Only thing I saw wrong on my two that I got is that she has a spot in the middle of her head.

Wonder if we'll see her soon in the US.

So the paint job of Scarlet Ninjini from Amazon.de isn't really good, did anyone get the perfect Scarlet Ninjini like her paint job and his light up effects?

Mine appears to be totally fine. Her light up is pretty cool too so I guess you could say mine is perfect.

Mine is okay.

My Scarlet from back in March, her PAINT JOB was perfectly fine, but her light up effect was weird. She looks like she has army/camo paint on her face.

Like this:


And I'm quite annoyed, she was 6 days door-to-door, for my current order I'm still waiting. No postal delivery on the weekend, meaning this is minimum 2 weeks!

That's the thickness in the paint. The mint colored paint they use for her skin doesn't work very very well with the lightcore because the opacity changes very drastically depending on the thickness of the painted area. The regular one's blue paint is a bit better in this regard.

My orders not here, shrug

Can someone explain why she is called Scarlet.

Scarlet is a deep red color. Her suit is this color.

Is it just me or the Google Chrome translator isn't working properly? When i click translate it keep saying "The translation failed because of a server error" Try again

Quote: SPARXisAWESOME

^It actually looks kinda cool

Yeah, she does.... But I so LOVE the effect I have on my regular Ninjini, the shading is a perfect line from ear to ear (including the ears), making it look like she's wearing a half face mask, like Stealth Elf. A mask which disappears when she's off the portal. It's like a magic mask, LOL! I find Scarlet is like a army/camo effect. Or a skin condition. I keep TRYING to lean towards the camo idea,

I REALLY get the impression that the lightcore effect is achieved by painting something thick inside that masks the light, and the green is just one thickness. I wish I could safely remove her hair without risking damaging her do I could get a closer look, maybe even do something about it.

Ah, that sucks... Sounds like Chrome performs the translations by using some Google server language database or translator or something. Copy the text into another translator and do it that way. Takes longer and more effort, but it's something. Logically it seems like Google Translate ( http://translate.google.com ) would use the same server/whatever, and it's working for me right now, so the problem might be fixed. If it happens again, and Google Translate doesn't work either, I used to swear by Babelfish, originally by Altavista, before Google Translate came around I think it was the leading free online translator. If I search for it, I get http://www.babelfish.com, which looks WAY different. If I enter the original address, babelfish.altavista.com, it redirects to Bing for some reason http://www.bing.com/translator/. Good luck!

It's not just the German figures, it's something I've noticed throughout the line of Giants. My SSA figures were all pristine but my Giants figures had more issues.

At a quick glance my Scarjini is immaculate though. The only issue is the spot of green in her eye, but her lightup effect is unfortunate with it looking like her skin burned.

The scarlet I bought of ebay has a perfect paint job as far as I can tell.
