Mine was also placed on the 12th.

:( I hope our orders don't get canceled.  I've been lucky so far to get almost everything I want, but our TRU aisles are normally pretty barren.  I know there are a lot of adult collectors in my area, and they've been hitting our toy aisles hard.  So if you're in the northeast TN area, leave a girl some ponies/dolls please.

I got the email too.  The email has an eight digit item number that the stores can't check stock on.  I did find the SKN#851799 on my initial printed out order form.  My store has an open order for 750 pcs., but won't be getting them for another 2-3 weeks.  They are the only store in STL that will be receiving them.  I think I'll just keep my order open with TRU.com and if I end up with two I can always trade it later.
The size of the order you saw is not for one store but the DC for your store.  No store gets there whole allotment at once.  Also if the layouts are not up for the other stores they will not be listed as getting them until there layouts are up.  So other stores in your area maybe getting them, just at a later date.

Also I have not gotten the email in regards to the preoders, I figure if they show up in store first I am just going to cancel them and get the ones I promised two friends and ours and call it quits.

It's really odd that they only sent the email to some people. I checked my spam folder too, just in case, and still nada. hmm. :what:

If you, like me, ordered only Zecora you probably won't get the email as Zecora won't be holding up the shipping of any other items. If you DID order something else at the same time, then I'm not sure what is going on there.

Very interesting...thanks for the information.  I don't actually work at a TRU, this was just what one of the employees told me over the phone.  Hopefully I'll get a Zecora one way or another.  Thanks again!  :)

All TRU stores are supposed to get her, right?  I hope so. I only know where two stores within reasonable driving distance from my home (and each one takes nearly an hour to get to, LOL). So I hope at least one of them gets Zecora in.

Hey DazzleKitty! *waves*  I totally forgot to say something to you about the TRU phone call.  Yep, that was me.  :)  They are so helpful and friendly at the Sunset Hills TRU.  If I find out that the Zecoras come in, I will definitely PM both you and Rhini.  I can't wait...I don't collect G4, but a GITD Zebra...get outta here.  I NEED that!  :P

No worries, I have been with R Us for almost 8 years now and even though I am on the Babies end of it, I still can check things for the Toy side.  And still have buddies working there.

At this point in time from what I was able to find, no it does not look like all stores will get her. BUT that can change in a moment with our company.  And if they chuck a box on one of our trucks instead of a TRU truck I am so grabbing the whole case. LOL

Thanks! I'd definitely wanna know. That store is pretty close to where I work, so I'm hoping that's the one I can get Zecora at. The one in Chesterfield is more of a distance from me. But I'll get her however I can! 

Hopefully us St. Louis ponies can find her somewhere!

Found Zecora today at TRU in my neck of the woods and brought her home :) I really did not think she'd be there. Also... someone bought All the new wave blind bags, and it was not me. Thinking there's an arena member near by?  ^.^

I only ordered her, and got the email. I am going to contact TRU and Hasbro. This is ridiculous.

They had around 5 at my Toys R Us today, I grabbed two for a friend and myself. They all seem to have something silly going on though!  One has 5 plugs of gray in the mane at the front and the other only has 4.

At the ones in the store:

one eye had scratches on it, another had a smudged hoof paint, another had a smudged stripe(mine does too actually).  Really random paint/eye smudges and scuffs! They aren't too bad...to me anyway, but for $10 I think it'd be nice to have pretty ones for sale.
