There's always a pattern to this. ID go first, appear to have less stock and generally cost a bit more than Kapow. Kapow usually wait for evenings to do preorders because people complain that they miss out because they're at work in the day. They tend to favour days like Friday and Sunday. Hasbro UK are supplying this, so Kapow will certainly have it but they never seem to be in any hurry to list pre-orders immediately.

I'm not sure it's 100% IDs fault, getting some time outs and over capacities on other sites to this am Yes. I had the same with Facebook and The Hub at the same time ID was melting down. -Ralph |

It's 100% ID related, suspect their DB can't handle the amount of requests it gets at these times because it's badly designed.

To be fair to them, their site generally is much smoother now than it was before they changed servers a few years ago. It used to be almost impossible to use even when not under stress.

This was the only time I've had bother getting on their site to order something.
I didn't think my order had been processed but I just got an email receipt so, er, hooray!

SELECTS Spy cassettes pack 3 finally turned up. I had asked ID to change my address for the order but they hadn't. Thankfully Royal Mail Redirect caught it!
I have 2 more orders with them with the old address. Best double check with them that they did indeed change the address on those as well when I asked!
This is why it always pays to order mail redirection when moving, even if you change your addreas everywhere in good time.

Mine from ID hasn't been sent yet. I'm not sure that's a good thing.

So in addition to all the pre-order playtimes, we run the risk of the vendor not getting enough stock anyway?
Fun times...

Thanks, I messaged and they said the same. I preordered it very early too but I don't much mind as long as I do get it in the end.

It's pretty crazy considering some Asdalands got that wave weeks ago.

Yes, I noted that when you mentioned it. These things must all be allocated.

I was just looking at ID's release list - it seems the second batch of these turned up last week and they're now saying third batch in November! I don't know whether to be worried by that or not. I only did a deposit on those so I might start checking Asda instead.

Blimey. Right, I might start trying to pick them off. Haven't looked in the toy section in Sainsbury's for years!
