I got a message to pick up mine yesterday... a week after I had paid it off (despite being in the same city as the main warehouse).


I also agree whole-heartedly about this needing to remain sealed in its shipping carton until you get home... and if the store had removed it from the brown shipper box, check to make sure nothing is missing before you accept it and walk out of the store.
When I got mine home and cut open the brown shipper box, I carefully slid out the Victory Saber box, and out fell the sword blade, which was already loose out of the plastic accessory tray. That sort of thing could have been easily lost in a store if it wasn't noticed.
It is very disappointing that they would put so much into the presentation, only to fail protecting the entire package from falling apart during handling and transport.
