Unicron at Zing/EB Games

[Bidoofdude]

Called into the store I’m set to pick up from and they have said the date is still set at 31st of March. Anyone able to confirm if the 15th date is still right?

My open pre-orders page says 30th of March which I'm hoping is true since I'm selling it to someone else and we're going to go pick it up together and don't want to go on Tuesday and have a Unicron I need to take.

Don't broadcast this, but the release here is VERY VERY VERY soon... but something needs to happen first before it can be announced and they are shipped out to stores.

Let's all guess the announcement.

I am going with a small pot of silver paint and a paintbrush to be sent to all purchasers.

I spoke with one of the people that work there... apparently, the system has it scheduled for a release on the 19th. They said that it if there is an actual release date (not something like June 2021) it is usually on the money

Maybe they're just trying to work out how to store them all safely!

I spoke with the manager at my local and she has a number ordered with pickup from her store, and more coming after another local store closed.

"all paid off unicrons can be re-directed to your address free of charge to save the z/eb delivery driver lugging it into store"

....one can dream

Is that meant to be the date they start sending them out to stores, or the date that all stores should expect to have them and call the purchasers to come and get them?

I asked the same thing... usually, that means it will be in-store... but there are always delays with shipping.

I just checked with my local store. Their system says there are none in the EB Games warehouse or in transit. I wonder if they are coming directly from Hasbro's Sydney warehouse?
