Glad to hear it.

Still REALLY pissed that mine has not.

Seriously, when did you guys place your orders? I put mine in back in fucking December.

Well, to be fair, it wasn't even out in Japan until a month and a half ago.

And yet both Amazon and Bluefin had a date of March for their preorders.

I'm not getting mine until the first week of April.

I ordered it on December 6th.

It's shipping in March. What's the big deal about a couple of weeks? If you wanted it as soon as possible you could have ordered from Japan using SAL and it'd have arrived weeks ago and been altogether cheaper than Amazon. Go through Bluefin and you have to wait. It's always been like that.

This was my first time preordering anything on Amazon or through Bluefin, it was at the suggestion of a user over on TFW, and after this experience I'm not going to be doing so again. Lesson was learned the minute I saw the figure up for sale on Amazon and other retailers for cheaper once it actually released in Japan.

And no, it's not shipping in March. I have the same free 2-day shipping as everyone else, but my ETA is the 4th of April.

Well, so it's a couple days later. Is it really that big a deal?

Also I didn't realize Amazon gave out free 2 day shipping - what am I paying for Prime for then?

EDIT: I read back and you're just assuming the normal free shipping is two days - it's not. You have to be a member of Amazon Prime to get that. Amazon Super Saver shipping is more like a week.

It's the free shipping that was provided with the trial membership of Prime.

Did you have the Prime trial when you ordered it or right now? Because in either case that might be the problem. If you have it right now then you didn't when you ordered it, so it wasn't a shipping option and they won't change it for you automatically. If you had it then, it's expired so you won't get the free 2 day shipping.

Not sure if this is old news or not, but the Operation Overdrive two-pack is up on BBTS.
