In stock at the Canadian S@H - well - with the May 16, 2013 back-order note.

hmmm I ordered the B-wing on Friday Night around 9:15 (PST) ... Now I got an email saying "Unfortunately, the item(s) listed below are currently out of stock and it will be a little longer before we can ship them to you."... Am I missing something here? I actually ordered my set on-time before it became sold out the first time around lol.... so much for ordering it on-time..

Yeah, I ordered mine within the first minute they were on sale and got the same back ordered email. I wonder how fast you had to order to make the cut for immediate shipping?

Either way at that price I am more then happy to wait it out.

I wonder if your issue has something to do with how fast credit card payments are authorized? As with most of my orders, it usually always says a confirmation won't be sent UNTIL payment has been confirmed. I'm still waiting for my confirmation and everything I ordered was in-stock :eh:

I placed two orders and one of the emails says they couldn't mail to third party, but the other is in progress. The truth is both the shipping address of the orders are the same. And my husband's order got canceled because 'you have entered more than one gift cards'. Guess they just do whatever they want randomly.

I ordered mine at 12:10 on the 4th. I received the same email about delay. I talked to customer service and they will be filling orders in the order they received them.

I ordered 1. She said they didn't expect as many people to order 5. I nicely told her it wasn't their fault, since the limit was 5. They obviously needed to make it lower.

Me too, I placed my order within 30 seconds past 12 pm on Fri and my b wing is backordered. I wonder how long it'll take...

Ahh S@Hs inventory system - on the brink again (as usual) - always the same with those guys. They need to consider producing enough if they have a sale like this. If they don't they will make many folks very upset.

Why they made it 'maximum 5' is quite beyond me, it's just asking resellers to buy all the stock so ending up with issues like this. Hopefully everyone that ordered one gets one.

^ Probably over-produced this and they probably didn't want this to turn out like the UCS Obi Wan Starfighter... but now they can't fill demand. Never quite understood their inventory management.

Link? Location?

As far as I can tell it has been pulled completely from TRU.com and there is nothing from TRU@ebay.

looks like TRU is absolutely worthless.

I placed my order early saturday morning at like 1am, had to be one of the first, and it has been cancelled making me miss out on the legoshop price because I didnt want to hassle returning them.


NEVER AGAIN. I dont care how much money I am saving. Company can't die fast enough for my tastes.

I went another route and got the r2d2. I reckon that is a safer bet than the b wing. One strange thing is, I can only assume no one has received their orders yet because I haven't seen the minifig hit brick set inventory yet.

Both of my S@H orders placed at 12:01 & 12:04 have shipped. 1 Bwing for me, one for a friend. (but I'm keeping the extra Han)

Are you sure it was the B-Wing that shipped and not just the Han Solo and poster? I ordered at 12:01 as well and my Han Solo and poster shipped; but, my B-Wing is still "backordered."

Earlier today it showed under each item's status as shipped, now all are blank but I still have my fedex #. (not in their system yet)

Will have to check again in the morning.

I had the same thing happened to me. I'm curious if the one will go through or not. Should I call and ask? Or hope and pray?

I have had that happen before. You should be able to see the weight in the FedEx system to verify what was sent.
