EDIT:  Another twist... someone suggested you plug your tracking number into the USPS site because it looks more like a USPS tracking number than a UPS tracking number, and mine did come up.  It still comes up as 'USPS currently awaiting package' - but weird all the same.

Yeah, ShopDisney is using "UPS Mail Innovations" for these, which is like the UPS version of FedEx SmartPost where UPS delivers to USPS who then deliver it to you.  They have been doing that for a while now.

Like I said earlier, just so weird.  Either something happened to a whole truckload of packages or there is a software glitch.  I'll give them two weeks and if I've got nothing by then (11/9), I'll start the process to look for a refund.

Since I somehow got around the limit on Pulse, I decided not to order from ShopDisney.

At least you guys will get these sort of early.  I've had issued with shipping from other sites in the past and it can be frustrating, but I bet patience will pay off.
This is the way.


I have spoken.

I went ahead and emailed and they said they have issued me a replacement order.  Others are being told these are sold out and that they can only get refunds.  But this is what they told me…

I wonder if I’ll get 0, 8, or 16 of these now.

These look like a great deal, bummed I missed the Stormtroopers, but it sounds like a lot of people may miss them anyways. I did manage to snag two of the RFTs.

As of this morning, my tracking number finally works.  Shows the package was picked up by UPS 11/4 at 5pm.  Tracking info says I should have the package by 11/10.  Hoping this all works out in the end!

I'm in the same exact boat.

So you might be right.  Maybe they loaded up a semi trailer and temporarily lost it on the lot.

My tracking numbers have also been updated and show the same Nov 10 due date. Looking forward to see these guys come in, I’ve been looking out my window far too much hoping to see them in my front stoop.

My sets just arrived from ShopDisney and delivered last mile by USPS 2 days ahead of schedule. Crazy how the shipping went but very pleased to see them in hand. Hopefully everyone else is about to get theirs.

My order from ShopDisney is finally out for delivery today.  But I have to say, I'm a little disappointed that they don't put the tracking information in the order history on the app.  I dug through a bunch of emails and finally found the tracking info, and it's a similar situation - UPS for the long haul, and USPS handles the home delivery.

Let me know how your sets look. I've been seeing some disappointing reports that the paint is extremely sloppy.

Just got my two sets. Wondering if I'm going to magically get two more now, but at least I got what I've paid for...

Magical extra Stormtrooper sets sounds like a pretty amazing way to start the week.

How are the paint apps?
