Ok so Im confused I looked in my order history and on the outside tab before you click on the number it says item shipping soon but on the inside once you click it it says processing is that how everyone else is?
 
ohh that is so uncool. I want him to hurry up and ship already.

He will probably ship tomorrow and I want get him until Wednesday of next week probably.
 
Leia, Jabba and the Throne all say "Processing" on the actual order page and "Shipping Soon" in my order history. On the "Cancel and Item/Order" page, it does not say "Shipping Soon--Contact to Cancel."

If you have an order with multiple things in it, as soon as the first one begins processing (in my case, the VCD TIE Pilot) then the status of the entire order is affected. My entire SDCC order has been "processing" since September of last year.

Ditto. Mine says the same thing. I just want to get my preauth so I know it will be shipping somewhat soon. At this point I'm not expecting it until the week after Toy Fair.
 
That really sucks that those who ordered at SDCC are getting the shaft like this. I didn't go, but I still think that order placed should mean order shipped. But I'm pretty sure thats not the case since I ordered on the second day of the inclusive and I'm already getting a shipping soon notice.

And not getting reward points too! Talk about insult to injury... especially with the die-hards that can go to the cons!!!
 
Yeah, it kind of stinks but he it's gonna happen. I want it ASAP but SS has treated me fantastic in the pass. Things like this are gonna happen. I just had to steam a little bit and I'll be ok. :)

I suppose that the attendees could have placed our orders online like everybody else to get those points--but we didn't know at the time!! It was nice to sit out those post SDCC priority preorders, but I would surely have ordered that way if I had known about all the points I would be missing by ordering at SDCC.

Maybe they will make sure that since we all lost out on the points, the SDCC orders will ship first to make up for it, since we were the first to order.
 
SDCC orders were the first people to order, but according to what I'm seeing here and in the RS threads, SDCC orders weren't entered in the system until days after the inclusive window opened to the public, and it seems like the pre-auths and everything is going by the order numbers and dates in the system. I'd say if they do similar at this year's SDCC, to give the orders shipping priority they should come up with some way to flag the order as different from any other in the system so if they don't get to it for days it'll still work out for the people who put the effort to get in line and all.

Which is good for Leia and Bib, but Jabba was all stress free since it was an inclusive. But maybe Sideshow will get your guys figures out first... which could take a bit of the sting.
 
What's funny about Jabba and his throne though is that I got Bib first along with those that didn't order at SDCC as well as Salacious. It's just odd Jabba and his throne might not be in the first round unless it's a very small shipment.

As far as flagging orders or something that might not be a bad idea if it isn't much of a hassle. For me it's about being a tad more patient and not *****ing. In the end I'm glad they take orders at SDCC to save me web time.

Josh, have you not noticed me spazzing out about getting Jabba the last 3 weeks :) Many of us are on the edge of insanity waiting for him. The real trouble with Jabba orders and which ones go out first is cuz this is the first time, at least that we've been notified, that items are in split shipments, you could get like 10 Bib boxes to one Jabba or throne, so it's a different scenario, and as much as he is costly, it's still possible the inclusive numbers were huge, we'll just never know on that one. Just keep thinking about seeing that beautiful Maul PF you and I will get to see/order in another week :)
 
I'm definitely glad that we were able to place one order for absolutely everything on the very first morning and then enjoy the show for the next three days.

I just remember them saying that in 2006, to avoid problems like with the Doom PF in '05 (where the online orders plus the show orders exceeded the total edition size and they had to increase it), they were going to have a computer at the booth so that the orders could be entered in real time and the system would be updated immediately.

Even though my order didn't appear to be entered until August, I still received Bib and Salacious right away, and so I have hope for Jabba. Here's a timeline:

July 20, 2006: I place my order for the entire Jabba setup at SDCC.
July 21, 2006: The online inclusive order for Salacious and Jabba begins.
July 26, 2006: The online inclusive order for Salacious and Jabba ends.
August 3, 2006: My SDCC order finally appears online, dated 08/03/2006.
January 5, 2007: My Salacious is among the first to ship.

So--even though my SDCC order was apparently entered into the online system long after the inclusive ordering window was closed (potentially putting me at the end of the line), I was among the first to receive Crumb. It appears that my order was near the front of the line in the "in house" order processing system (which we know is separate from the online system). It should have been, since I ordered it the day before the inclusive order began.

I am hoping for the same with Jabba.

I've noticed but I've also been trying to keep myself calm. :lol Well, some of us have dealt with split orders before in the SSW Line. They did that with the ML Statue and Sauron for sure as along with a couple of others if memory serves me right. I went nutty on the ML statue just ask some of the other older members who where around. :rotfl Yeah, box size I'm sure is why they're doing split shipments. It's all good really. I just want mine. :lol I may really go nuts on Maul if I was in the second shipment. :rotfl :maul

Same for me as well Tom. My order though says it was put into the system on the 28th of July.

Well, that stinks.

Lonnie--what is the time and date on your SDCC order in your online account? I was in line right behind you on Thursday.

It is odd isn't it?
