Yep, especially considering that I asked if it would be available for WA customers and if so, when they expect it to be so.Quote:

Whats the VIP code?
It's like when I called ikea for stock availability and they said yes. Drive down to the innaloo store and ask for the stock and says "oh the stock is in the warehouse but not in store " I was like wow!! Do I really need to specify whether is it in the store or warehouse?

I be checking Innaloo TRU again guys, please update if you have for other areas.
Yeah, I just picked up the VIP thing yesterday myself - will be pleased if I can get any kind of discount.
It would be great if the online amounts haven't been allocated yet rather than them being depleted. Crossing my fingers on that one.
The VIP code works for online purchases, even if you are not a VIP. You can also print out the voucher, and present it to the store when purchasing to get 10% off. Again, not sure if I can pop the codes here. Can someone advise?
I think its fine, as previous codes in the past was put up for general public to view.Quote:

so online purchase... use the code, no VIP status needed.
instore purchase... you'll need to print out voucher and have you VIP card (free to join)
Thanks for that, I can use it for future purchases. Hopefully Acid Storm.Quote:

$10 savings wasn't worth the risk! Anyway, it's dispatched already, so should be here this week!
Just out of curiosity if you don't mind me asking did you pay through paypal or through Toys R US? I ordered and paid through Paypal yesterday afternoon and everything seemed to go ok. Just waiting on my dispatch e-mail.
Just got a dispatch email :D
"The order you placed at Toys"R"Us Online has been despatched from our warehouse and is on its way. You can track your delivery in My Account. Please allow up to 24 hours for your tracking link to be activated. To find out more about our estimated delivery times click here."
Thanks for that DinkyDarth! Every bit helps.
+1, same boat here, paid with paypal and waiting for that dispatched email.Quote:

i got the confirmation email aswell but no dispatched email as of yet
I ordered and paid via PayPal as soon as the link was posted and I haven't got a dispatched email yet. So much for first come first serve.
Just got my dispatch confirmation from TRU today. I settled the account last night using PayPal if that helps put anyone else's mind at rest.
Big thanks to I like Soundwave for the link, I was lucky enough to successfully place an order. I just got the item despatched email from Toysrusso fingers crossed that in 3-6 days I'll be a happy owner of a yellow eyed boom box :)
I ordered and paid for mine by Paypal an hour before Soundwave posted up the link in this section... but still haven't had a despatch email with tracking number. :(
I just checked out the site, it's saying that Soundwave is still available for me. Seems silly that it's sold out for some but not others.
I got my despatch notification at 14.21. Paid via PayPal yesterday. :D
I also got a dispatch notification 4/11/2013 3:30pm
I paid via paypal.
is it just you griffin? or QLD? Coz it seems like VIC and NSW are getting theirs?
oops, one from brisbane seem to have theirs. Random? :confused:
I'm in Melbourne, paid by paypal yesterday afternoon and just got my despatch confirmation :D
Payed for one this morning via card. I have to live off $0.63 for a week now.
paid by paypal last night at 9.08pm, and no dispatch yet for me (canberra)
I think they are just working through them. I'm in NSW, paid via CC last night around 5:30pm and haven't received a shipping note yet.
M.
I'm not sure who's getting theirs earlier. Luck of the draw? Very random it seems.
Mine got dispatched with confirmation today at 11am (SA).
Bought last night
I was just posting in the other Soundwave topic, the reason why some are getting theirs posted out, and others are not getting theirs yet... or not able to order at all.
A couple of us have been told identical stories from TRU people running different stores - the online orders are not coming from their central warehouse (which would be easier to keep track of stock, and only sell units if they know they still have some)... the orders get paid and then emailed to your nearest store.
If that nearest store doesn't yet have stock (like in WA), the online site doesn't seem to allow the sale to begin with (because there isn't any point if they don't yet have any to send out).
But if your nearest store did get stock but are already sold out, the order is then emailed to the next nearest store... and so on, until it gets to one that still has it in stock. (or I am assuming it is cancelled/refunded if it gets to a point of being out of stock in all stores in your area/state or country)
As such, it is a very complicated system, that will be plagued with errors, lost orders and unfulfilled orders... leading to a lot of unhappy customers (who think they have bought a figure, only to find out later that it is no longer in stock).
All so they can offer cheap shipping, as it would be coming from nearby instead of all from their Sydney warehouse.
All I can suggest is, keep trying their site for ordering one, as unsold units may surface from stores that are less popular... as well trying to reserve one (ring up) at a store that hasn't yet got theirs, or at least, haven't sold out.
And if you end up with two, I'm sure there are some people here that would be willing to buy it from you.
(at least, that's what I was planning - the online order was my backup, and now that I have the one from the store that I reserved, if the online order ends up coming through, I will pass it onto someone nearby who still wants one)
Now it makes sense. Well, I have one from the store and possibly one coming in the mail, so can pass that on to someone from the boards if they miss out. I'll let everyone know if the online one comes through.
I also paid for mine yesterday before link was posted up here, still don't have my dispatched email yet.:( I'm also from Melbourne CBD.
Well that sucks. I wish I didn't know about the online order link then. I would have tried picking it up at my local store. I just called and they sold out today. I would have called first thing in the morning if I hadn't ordered online. My order sounds like its doing the rounds and won't get fulfilled.
thanks for the tip griffin.
