Anyone preorder the 8 pack on Amazon and has it shipped?
I preordered it along with the villain 5 pack. The villain pack came in today but the 8 pack hasnt. In fact its now showing I wont receive it until next week, which makes me a bit sad.

I only ordered the villain 5 pack, and it says it's "on the way" along with the starter pack. But then again there's no estimated date of when it should arrive.

I ordered both the 5 and 8 pack. Both went to "shipped" this morning and have a tracking number. They are both in my state already but not sure if they'll make it to my local intone for delivery tomorrow.

My 5 pack shipped Friday but is arriving Monday and I have tracking number. The 8 pack still isn't showing a tracking number but it claims it is arriving tomorrow also, but I skeptical since it hasn't even shown that it shipped.

I had ordered the 8, 5 and starter all at the same time. 5 and starter have a tacking, 8 says shipping soon with estimated delivery tomorrow by 8pm. I'm in Seattle though, so that still could happen.

Villain 5 pack is shipped and should be arriving today, sensei 8 pack says arriving today but it hasn't even shipped yet, so unless Amazon hired Santa Claus to do deliveries, looks like I'm getting an extra month of Prime. smilie

We ordered the 5 & 8 packs and everything showed arriving today, but *just now* I received an email from Amazon saying that the 8-pack will now not arrive until Friday. :-( So much for launch-day arrival.

I ordered both the Amazon 5 and 8 packs the day they were first released. The 5 pack was shipped and tracking has it being delivered today. The 8 pack had a 'delivery' date of today too, but its tracking never indicated shipment. Then this morning I got an email about the 8 pack from Amazon. They had 'encountered a delay in shipping your order. The new delivery date is indicated below.' My new delivery date is now Friday, October 21, 2016 - Saturday, October 22, 2016. Amazon/Activision really dropped the ball on this one.

-Update: talked to an Amazon Prime rep and she said they would have the product to fulfill my order by Oct 19th. Upgraded my shipping to next day service, gratis. Back to the waiting game.

- Update2: I did receive the 5pk on the Monday after the Sunday launch and I am now happy to report that today, Thursday, I got the 8pk from Amazon via overnight UPS delivery. With the WiiU Dark edition, Kaos and one of each CC, I'm happy enough.

Yeah, was just notified expected ship date is now the 20th and I may not get it until the 24th (for the 8-pack). Will be contacting Amazon when I get into the office, and then likely buying what I can from Target or GameStop.

I pre-ordered both of mine as soon as I knew they were available. They are both showing that they will be delivered today as well as my starter pack!

My 8-pack also suddenly says delayed, expected date of delivery Oct 21-22. Very disappointing.

Just got off live chat. Amazon representative said that they didn't receive as much from the manufacturers as they had orders for. Got a $15 credit and an apology. The good news is that I won't have time to play until next week anyways, but still disappointing that it's completely up in the air as to when it will arrive.

Well, this is definitely unfortunate for a lot of people, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. I preordered mine the day I found out about them, which may or may not have been the day they were announced, not sure, but I paid them off on September 29th. Both the 8-pack and the 5-pack were delivered to me about 20 minutes ago. Maybe they give priority to orders already paid.

I preordered the 5-pack on September 12th.
I preordered the 8-pack on September 27th.

Both of mine shipped out early yesterday morning (around 3 and 5 AM), but neither have arrived at my home yet... :/

Villain 5 pack and Crash PS4 starter are arriving today, separate packages. [EDIT: both packages just arrived]

Hero 8 pack is arriving tomorrow.

Free Kaos arriving on Friday (selecting free standard shipping for that since I already got one free from Gamestop for the dark Wii U starter).

Maybe they under-predicted the order, and they're having to work a bit to get caught up. I guess that can be spun as a positive. We all recognize that both retailers and Activision is going to be stingy with product this year.

Just got my 8 pack ( a lot of box ) but that came from postal service still waiting on my villain pack which is coming UPS, but that seems to be 3 hours away at the moment. I won't be able to play till tomorrow because i'm waiting on the crystals and air strike.

Bad news for us Canadian Portal Masters. You would think they would have had this all sorted out. That's why even with the Prime 20% discount I chose to just order the 5 villian pack and not a starter pack. We didn't even get the 8 pack Hero on Amazon.ca and we don't even get release day shipping! My shipment doesn't show arrival until at least the 24th. I want my Choppy Mage! Lol

8 and 5 pack arrived today, they come in pre-packaged cases from Activision that look like the cases they send to stores (with the "street date" orange label in the corner). The label mentions what assortment it is, so Amazon just has to throw it in a bigger box and ship it, they don't have to gather them or anything. If one of them is a chase (none of mine were, but I heard of some that got one) it is straight from Activision. Each figure is bagged around the box separately in the case which is pretty cool if keep them packaged. Chompy Mage looks pretty cool.

How big was the box that it shipped in? The box mine was in could have easily fit three of those cases that the bundle comes packaged in.

I received 5 pack in the same Activision's box. 8 pack is still not shipped and Amazon is promising to deliver it on Wednesday. It is kind of strange, because I ordered both of them on September 27th.

The 5 pack came in a box that was way too large for it (because the box is longer since it has 5 lined up. The 8 pack came in a box that was smaller but also taller since it is 4 x 2 packed. It is good for those that keep them packaged as it is highly unlikely they arrive damaged.

Now my ship date has been moved to Nov 15 - Dec 15....on time. What a joke, first and last experience preordering something with Amazon. No Chompy Mage until retailers get it in Canada for wave 3. What a joke!

My 8 pack should be arriving tomorrow. Amazon usually isn't this bad with stuff but I think god is a mix of retailers under ordering so they are not stuck with a ton of unsold products. Hope everyone gets theirs soon!

They under-estimated demand, and didn't get as many up front as they expected. Can't blame them after the clearance-fest that was Superchargers. I have a feeling a good many of the collectors went with Amazon due to Chompy Mage on the 5 pack and the convenience of being done with all the singles from Wave 1 and 2 in one shot and save some money as well (if you have Prime).

That was one of my reasons for sure. I got most figures in one go (still bought the seasonal and legendary from TRU, still looking for the Steel Plated character... and any word on Nitro characters??

Target got burnt hardcore by Nitros in the past couple years. They still can't get rid of Head Rush and the vehicles. I doubt they were willing to go again.
