Just found this, it's a Target online exclusive. It seems to be the same as Future shop.

Got my message today that the item was shipped - hoping it will be here by the actual release date. As Ricker suggested, I would call asap. I had a huge issue in securing mine, and am lucky I got one of these at all. Their online store was giving me fits for quite awhile...

Frankly, I'll be amazed if I actually receive C&A in steelbook - the way my luck's been going, I'll open the box to find some Smurfs movie instead!
 
Nope, customer service told me everything shipped. That there are none left. I left a nasty post on their wall. Not that is going to help. But I was able to vent.

I called the number and was transferred to a live rep. I guess the automated service didn't work for me. He really couldn't give me much information since it hasn't shipped yet. He did say that he saw that they were expected to ship on 12/13. Who knows. Good luck to everyone!
 
Just got an email that mine shipped :oohyeah: I ordered the second time that it was available (Nov. 24) and chose whatever the default shipping option was (not free shipping, although I would have chosen this if I had seen the option:confused:). So what I am saying is that there is still hope and I am rooting you guys who dont have a shipment conformation yet:scat: I was starting to get a little nervous myself even though they had charged my card:ohno: I was getting ready to give them a call.

Hope everyone gets what they ordered!
 
I sent several nasty emails to Target. The first response was we're very sorry, the second was they are looking into the issue and the last she was happy to inform me that my order just shipped. Then I got the automated email. I don't know where they came up with all this stock all of a sudden.
 
Just received my shipping confirmation.

May I ask when did you place the order?

Ricker, I tell you man, someone is playing games with us at Target.:angry:
 
I got a shipping confirmation!

I have two orders, one I placed on 11/24 when it came back in stock, and another when it was first listed on 11/17. Target shipped my order of one from 11/24, but they have not yet shipped my order of two from 11/17.
 
Just a hunch but I think those who placed their orders earlier on when it was $29 might need to call CS to get your orders shipped AND price adjusted. I think they are doing this intentionally. I had placed two orders - one on 11/17 and one on 11/24. I only had shipping confirmation email for the 11/24. I just called Target CS after reading Ricker's post and guess what? They did the same thing - we're sorry, something is wrong with your order, price is adjusted and oh, your order just shipped. Really?

So if you placed your order on 11/17 and have not received the shipping confirmation email, call and harass Target's CS until they push the order through for you. Good luck!

I called Target's CS and the first guy I got was less than helpful. Basically he told me there was nothing he could do, it's scheduled to be fufilled by December 8th.

He really had a hard time understanding any of the questions I was asking and looked to get rid of me really quick. :rolleyes:

So I got the supervisor and she indicated to me that my order would not be cancelled - something like that, with limited editions, she said would happen within a day or so of the order being placed if they exceed the number of items actually available.

Assuming she is correct, I should still get my order, I guess... :ohno:

I asked if there was anything wrong with my order and she stated there wasn't...

I placed my order on November 17th and it still shows the higher price. Which I'm OK with if they actually ship it - no issue there, but sheesh...what a mess...
 
I place my order on Nov 17 as well and spoke to the rep. She said that nothing is wrong with my order as it does take time to process them. I do see a pending charge to my credit card on Dec 1st already.

I'll continue to wait since I did use the cheapest shipping.
