I think some companies like TRU and HTS will place a charge authorization on your credit card to see if the buyer has the funds available. In most cases the authorization will drop off in a few days and they will charge you when the item ships.

This. The site even tells you this if you look around in the FAQs and Support sections.

As I LOVE the hunt in stores!!! This is my first order online! I know he'll be tough to find... I took too many 30 minute trips to toysrus to only find Arcee hour and half away!!! LUCKILY. Also Scalpers will tear this guy apart he'll be 100 bucks online very soon I bet considering the only other way to get him is spending 150 to 200+ for Takara Masterpiece. Hell Unicron was gone pretty fast! (wish I bought it!!) Unicrons bring easily 70 bucks (average.) on ebay shipped. An that's a Unicron... considering if you want Grimlock and have the chance to pay 56 bucks online now. !! done!!

Only wish the code worked for order placed with two in cart!!!!

Yeah, I didn't save the link but someone had a BIN auction for the Hasbro Grimlock for 150 bucks. I could see them scalping hard, but that is insane! Also getting scalped bad is the TRNS figures, Those are crazy. But yes, I can easily see the price skyrocket on the bay.

Was just doing a search for Masterpiece Grimlock.

This one wants $139.99 BIN
Shipping to US is $38.50

Ouch!

anyone else get a back order e-mail, or was I just lucky?

Yep, I got one too. I'm cool with that as long as they don't cancel my order. They have him relisted for $69 now which is the price he is selling at SDCC for. It says in stock, I'll be pissed if they sell these before fulfilling our pre-orders.

Then You guys should be getting them soon. So...they were originally 59.99, the 64.99 and now 69.99...interesting

In order details screen it says waiting for inventory. I doubt we will be getting ours anytime soon. TRU online might actually be worse than HTS.com

They cancelled my order. Jerks. Now it's back for preorder again but jacked up $10. I hate TRU.

Anyone else get their original order cancelled?

I knew it, corrected the article to give you credit! Sorry.

Wow, calling out a mod publicly on a screwup and no infraction was given?! You got an apology even?...must be nice.

Despite your entirely one-sided fued with this site and the Mod staff, the rules on the board are enforced with a great deal of equity.

Please move on with things and while I encourage you to post here, if you're only going to drop by to be snide...well, whatever.

Can't have fun and call it a party without at least a few h8ers!

I received a backorder email as well and as of this writing my order still has a "pending inventory" on it. I placed the order when it was listed at $59.99 but I didn't get the chance to use the $10 off code. Here's hoping that TRU is not in the process of canceling ALL orders placed at the lower price so they can make a few more bucks.

As of current, mine says special order, awaiting inventory...

Not yet, i got mine orderd under the $59.99 price and got the $10 off code. So it was under 61 total shipped. With any luck they wont cancel my order. But if they do cancel it i will just buy one from the store.

For the record. I never saw universe Unicron. TRU exclusives here get swiped up fast. That being said, I think I will take my chances on finding this in stores. I havn't even been bothered to open my Takara MP grim that i've had since release.

Got mine ordered for the 59.99 price point with the free shipping.

Received the backordered email as well, still better than threatening scalpers at TRU trying to clear the shelves.

Hey good news my order status went form waiting for inventory to Item located in stock, estimated shipping date is saying between 08/09/10 and 08/12/10.

This makes me happy so have faith fellow fans we may not have to storm the walls of TRU.
