Anyone else just get emails from TRU saying they havent received inventory for the Starter Pack and Legendary Nightmare Express?

I got one saying they haven't received inventory for Legendary Nightmare Express I pre-ordered.

Hmm. I have a pre-order for that as well. No emails yet for me.

Got the same emails. I *think* this happened last year as well.

Was this for in-store pre-orders then? My online ones look fine, just checked.

I remember getting a email last year about the 3DS version not being in stock. It was there however at the midnight release despite the email.

How can that happen with preorders. My daughter will be crushed if we cant pickup the starter pack tomorrow night.

if you are worried give your store a phone call to double confirm. Most of the time its sitting at the store in a box. I vaguely remember silly stuff like this happening for swap.

Just call the store itself before hand. They have programs that send out those emails for big stores like TRU. If it doesn't get a certain message by a certain time, it'll go out. The order could have come in twenty minutes after the programmed deadline, and given the release date, and when the email system resets for sending messages again you might not get a corrected email before release. Just call. If your TRU has any clue what they are doing they can tell you whats in stock.

This was preordered in store. On the phone with store now.

I just got one regarding Gear Shift but not the game itself...weird. If that's true though and they don't have my crap by Sunday, In the immortal words of Flameslinger "Let the Flames Begin!!!".

I got an email saying;

We are happy to report that your SKY TRAP TEAM ADV PK L NIGHTMA pre-order will be available for purchase starting October 5th, 2014. Your item will be reserved for 7 days from this date. Please bring your original pre-order receipt (or this email) to the store location below to purchase this item:

Right, I completely forgot to un-reserve my copy of Trap Team from there. I preordered it back when we thought there would be an edition with Legendary figures, but my money for it is currently with Gamestop.

...I should call Toys R Us up and cancel it, to ensure they'll have enough inventory.

Don't worry. I just stopped by my Toys R Us and asked they said it is because it has not been scanned in as received yet. My store received the Wave 1 and 2 boxes today (showed me as well - unfortunately no pictures allowed though).

Stopped by my TRU as I was in town getting my car fixed. Said no issue and to ignore the e-mail (although it wouldn't hurt to check with your store as well). Took some pics while I was there...




Ohh... Trap Team out early! Breaking Street Date! Call the police!...



:D

And, just because it excited me...

Thanks that gives me hope.

The emails went out if the store you preordered from didn't scan them in properly.

Happens every year if they don't scan the reserved copies in, in a timely matter.
