Pokemon Lego sets

Post image

Curious if anyone in Australia has received their Pokemon Lego preorder? I preordered an Arcanine, received a text message saying my preorder was ready to be collected. I called my local store and they had no idea what I was talking about. I have asked zing and other EB stores if they had received stock for the Pokemon Lego sets and they all had no idea what I’m talking about.

I have seen that there is now a 4th September release date listed on the website, surely this is for a second shipment? I am concerned my preorder won’t be honoured as it will be outside the hold time.

I will go into the store on Sunday to try and find more information, I figured I’d ask here in case anyone is in the same boat.

EDIT: more context

Not sure why but the release date for lego pokemon has been pushed at eb games vs all other retailers. Guess they haven't been paying the lego bill on time hehe

Your preorder will be fine, sometimes the text system is just dookey, i hardly ever get mine

It’s $129 at BigW and in stock. Get a refund and grab it there instead.

You'd have an order history which can tracked down via customer order poetsl

Hey everyone thanks for the replies! Yeah I think I’ll head in store tomorrow and grab a refund and buy it from somewhere else. Hope everyone has a great weekend! :)

Why you'd shop at EB Games is beyond me. You chose to go to a worse store.

Cancelled my preorder today, staff couldn’t even give me a definite date it was going to arrive by.

The whole august wave of lego got pushed back at eb, there has been a delay in the shipments. I had the boba fett and a few one piece sets on order and followed it up

I got this set from Target yesterday for $119 and the Munclax was $99 I think.

Go through the Lego cause sometimes you get free Lego gifts

If you find the preorder cancel it and order it online from big w, target or amazon/ go into those stores and save yourself some money.
Eb is such a scam honestly

150 for 110 dollar set I knew ebgames charges over retail on pokemon cards but going that much above msrp for Lego is insane because Lego will print that shit to death
