From JAN 7th here, and also told to me again today that they are still on track for this date....

For those who have one on order at EB/Zing, they are on track for release/pick up early-mid March. That's current info from Hasbro as of today.
So if you are still saving up or paying it off in advance, you have about 8 weeks left.... plan ahead, because I'm sure they will easily find new customers if you aren't able to pay for it as soon as it arrives.
So now it is down to about 5 weeks left... if anyone is still yet to start paying it off, or saving up the rest of what they owe (to pay on pickup), time is running out.
Because when they come in, the stores may not want to hold them for more than a few days, as they will be too big to keep in the back, and they won't want the big brown boxes blocking areas of the store and get in the way of customers (who can't touch or buy them).
