My preorder hasn't shipped... Business as usual then! ditto but i think I ordered after you mentioned Amazon having it. I am not going to panic about this. I've had enough costly panicking in the last few weeks, also there doesn't seem to be anywhere else to get him anyway at the moment. |

I had an Amazon pre-order on Scorponok as well. Not yet dispatched, showing as Currently Unavailable on the site.

Amazon being at 'we don't know if we're getting this' instead of 'we're waiting on a restock' is a bit worrying a week later. Is there going to be another batch of these? Makes sense as it's really like a big Christmas toy. I'd love to bag this for Amazon's £116 instead of scouring Smyths incase there's one in stock not showing on the online checker, finding one for £140, then getting a dispatch note from Amazon on the same day. My luck this year says that would absolutely happen. |

ONE MILLION POUNDS.
Ta. I'll keep in mind these are still around. Now begins the 'how long to gamble on amazon' game.

Give it a while. Every month Amazon tells me the latest Star Trek novel is unavailable then it turns up a few days later.

Indeed. I'm sticking at 20% panic for now. I've overpaid for the coneheads and the paradron set through panic buying recently, so I'll stick this out for now.

Also I agree that it makes sense to have enough stock in systems for this as a big Christmas toy.

Beginning to wonder about this now. Amazon still don't have any indication they're going to get more and Smyths' listing has gone from out of stock to no longer available. Perhaps the situation this year meant this got a shorter run than usual. Smyths' website says all my locals are out of stock but I might do a run around them after work tomorrow to see if there's one left in any of them.

I hope he is restocked more generally.
His delivery box is very impressive!

Checked the closest Smyths on the way home tonight. Nope. I can only do em one at a time at the mo because they close at seven now instead of ten. Panic percentage rising.

Well FP in Glasgow have one sitting on a high shelf for £150 if you find yourself getting desperate...

I was thinking 'The Man in the High Castle' myself, but whatever floats your boats!

Didn't have Amazon at the time so all I know about it is the underwhelming adverts and memorable name.

Great book, but I struggle to see how you adapt it into a compelling, ongoing TV series without losing most of what was actually interesting about it. So I didn't bother even looking at the trailers.

It suffered from Streaming Bloat. Good production values and cast but the pace was glacial so I gave up on it.
