Hmm. I'm hoping to get that myself. There were none in-branch this morning.

It's not just me. Another Hubber also has radio silence about their order. I'm not convinced Game actually have these items to sell.
I hope to be proved wrong!

That's nice. They're not sending them out for online orders.  -Ralph |

10 days since I placed my order. Radio silence.
The listing is still on the Game site...

The year is 2026. It is two years since orders were placed with 'Game store' for GI Joe Soundwave. Leaves fall from the trees, sooner than usual.
Two doors down, a cat emerges.

The year is 2029. It is five years since orders were placed with 'Game store' for GI Joe Soundwave. The sirens sound most nights now.
The street cat now has its own litter. They live in a hole by the red brick wall. Neighbours feed them, but none can tempt them into their home.

The year is 2034. It is ten years since orders were placed with 'Game store' for GI Joe Soundwave. The sounds of humans have now been quietened.
The cats now control all streets to the north. They have been plentiful and multiplied. Their leader turns to the shadows behind them and addresses The Other. What shall they do now?

The year is 2036. It is twelve years since orders were placed with 'Game store' for GI Joe Soundwave. The humans are happy now. Content, perhaps, and from their enclaves they look towards the stars.
The Other stirs from fitful sleep. It has no need for the cats anymore.

The year is 2037. It is thirteen years since orders were placed with 'Game store' for GI Joe Soundwave. The cats came swarming from the East and made peace with the humans. They prepare for the coming Winter with great care and dedication.
The dreams were a lie, for The Other is no longer fully present. Their mind has not been their own since the arrival of The Brother.

Soundwave was in my local branch but at £88, not £55.

The year is 4,000,000,024. It is one billion years since orders were placed with 'Game store' for GI Joe Soundwave.

Yes.
I got mine on Saturday, and I had politely enquired with Game as to where my order was initially through their chatbot and then via email. They replied saying they were very busy and things were delayed, but offered me 10% discount on my next order. I replied accepting the discount at which point they upped it to 20%.

What nice people.

It's like Paddington says, if you're nice
People are nice back - even thrice.

A random post on Bluesky seems to show Titan Cybertron Metroplex is showing up in TK Maxx for £69.99.  |
