Murasaki Alien
Shockingly enough I never saw the movie as a kid. I'm a fanatic for equines and unicorns, have been all my life and I only knew of the movie. ^^; I actually saw the comic at a shop a week or two ago. Didn't get it because I have yet to actually finish the original novel. Took it back to the library and have just been lazy about it. The sad part about it is that it's the copy owned by my local library, too, didn't even have to order it.I guess I'm more lax about it because I know I can pretty much go there whenever I want and rent it again.
I heard that Toys R Us actually cancelled the pre-orders. Was I wrong? Anyway, It truly does suck for those folks! D: Now I'm all paranoid Optimus will never see the light of day at the store nearest me.
I'm the same way with some books xD
From what I understand the only people who've had their pre-orders canceled were those who got theirs in last minute. Typical TRU, they sold more pre-orders than they had stock ordered for. So anyone on the overflow list got booted. From the sound of things though that seems to have happened within 48 hours of the order being made, but I guess there was at least one people who got the cancellation email this week, so I'm kind of wondering if that's the sign that their stock is arriving soon. TRU might have anticipated some people canceling their orders and left a few at the beginning of the overflow to accommodate for that. Who knows. But it doesn't seem like anyone else has lost their order since the first 48 hours passed.
Dunno when Seibertron ripped it off their news feeds, but by the early afternoon it was gone. The news crew probably figured out it was just a rumor and deleted it to prevent any further panic. Lol. I'm only worried because TRU isn't exactly customer friendly :/ They were shafting people left and right last Christmas season via their website. I can't see them not having MP Optimus in their website, but I can see them screwing over those people who made pre-orders, just because they can. I'm hoping they won't though...
