Rynobot as a matter of fact it is coming UPS, and they also sent the tracking #.. I, on the otherhand, have had good luck with UPS, as long as the shipper packs it half way decent.

I'll cross my fingers, but if it comes damaged I guess I'll trade it.

TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES??? This is the biggest retailer in the world. What did their ONE computer breakdown???:eek: :eek: I pre-ordered mine from TRU.com. I sure as hell hope I don't have the same problems you guys are having with WM.
Val Da Car
09-06-2002, 08:47 AM
Drew,

At least TRU.com had a closer (more realistic) delivery date that Wally World. But Wal-Mart has a distribution system that is recognized as the best.

oh well as long as I get it.

I ordered mine from Toysrus.com as well. They had a more believable delivery date, and I've always had good experiences ordering with them :)
Hope your Wally World orders come through soon guys :(

I got them and have opened one and set up my figures in battle using it. Check THIS SECTION of the forums for my very detailed review! This thing is awesome.
