As some of you may know, TARGET.COM had the presale for the Evolution of a Hero 2 pack early last month and was supposed to have shipped by now.

Reason I ask is cause I have a hold on my CC for the amount of the order but it says not shipped and gives me a now til Oct. 3rd time frame.

Is anyone else experiencing this same situation?

Mine still has the dates Sept. 11th-Sept. 27th.

Me too. A lot of the pre-orders including on BBTS seem to be held up indefinitely. Dates keep getting pushed back.

Did you guys not get an email from Target? I had to approve a delay that pushed it to November 16th. I pre-ordered from Target.com, but using my amazon.com username and password, maybe that's why you guys didn't get it. Amazon is really good about telling you if stuff is going to be delayed.

I ordered through Amazon.com too. Didn't get any e-mail, but at least when I check my account at Target.com it's still listed as pre-ordered.

What I'm concerned about though, is whether stores sell pre-orders on the good knowledge that they will be getting some, or just a Hail Mary play that they might be getting some. My BB08 through BBTS kept getting pushed back and back. It's gonna be October soon.

That's odd that more people haven't gotten the email. I wonder if I'm slotted for a second wave of order fulfillment or something like that.

Since the two-pack is, I believe, a Target exclusive, I think the pre-order in this case is pretty much guaranteed. A preorder through someone like BBTS may be more of a "best effort" promise, especially for something like an exclusive from another retailer.
