I think it was Grievous that shipped according to your location--east coast first. I just about had an aneurysm out here in California.

If they could make it so all showed up at the same time that would be kinda cool.
 
Like I said I figure mine will be here tomorrow (shipping notice that is). I don't mind waiting so much honestly despite me freaking a little it's just my excitment getting the better of me.

I think that was the plan with Grievous. The idea was that they would ship out to the East Coasters first, and then after a few days the last of them would ship out to the Californians and they would all be delivered on basically the same day. Then the second batch didn't get to the warehouse in time and people in Vermont who got on the wait list months after it sold out were getting theirs delivered, while those who ordered minutes into the sale and live two or three hours from Sideshow HQ hadn't received tracking numbers. More stress and anxiety than I could handle. With all of my ranting and raving, I'm surprised that Dusty and Chicky didn't get into the system and cancel all of my preorders as punishment for my impatience.
 
I really don't think there is any "real" science to these orders... I ordered mine during the second day of the inclusive and seem to be getting Jabba and the Throne before others who ordered the first day and even at SDCC.
 
The thing that hurts me the most is if Jabba ships tomorrow. Instead of arriving on Saturday (if he shipped tonight) he wouldn't arrive until TUESDAY! That is almost a week away instead of barely one. That is a huge difference to me, whereas most people West of me won't get him til next week regardless. I'm really starting to feel the pain of East Coasters. I still wouldn't live in CA to get it sooner because of the Sales Tax. UT or Nevada seem to be the best of both situations (no tax and fairly quick shipment).

It sucks cuz it seems like a lot of the frequent posters in these forums are West Coast, so by the time I get my stuff and can join the picture sharing or conversation, some of them have grown tired of it. One thing that sucks for East Coasters too, at least it happens to me, FedEx takes 7 days where UPS takes 6, and granted in the scheme of life another day is liveable, but when you're amped for something, that can feel like forever.

Same here. Got charged last night but no shipping notice. :monkey2
 
Both my throne and Jabba shipped out last night at 8:14pm. Expected arrival for the 14th.

Well I'm new to this charting of shipment game but I'd have to say that there's seemingly no rhyme or reason to when things get shipped as there are several people who placed their order after mine and yet they've received notification of shipment while I'm still in the dark playing the true waiting game--- that's life. Have any other Canadians received any notice that their Jabba/throne has been shipped?
 
Pure speculation on my part, a prognostication or epiphany if you will, but I have a feeling (not having received ANY information to support this statement), that my Jabba will arrive on the 20th. It's just a feeling. Don't mark it down as anything but that.

We shall see....
 
Anyone know what the shipping charges on these guys were? Even though they have shipped I can't seem to find the freight charges listed anywhere... even on my CC :confused:
 
still waiting for a preauth on Jabba, I don't think I'll be getting mine in the first wave and I'm not too sure about the throne, I've been charged but they may wait to send out my jabba with it.
