I'm just in it for the free Han and poster. Who need's a half price LEGO set anyways? Wait, what am I saying?
Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?

I have had that happen before. You should be able to see the weight in the FedEx system to verify what was sent.

I think I'm good, each shipment shows 10 pounds which would be a little heavy for a han, 2 posters and 5 series 10 minifigs.

Both my B-Wing TRU order and LEGO S@H orders have shipped. Got 1 B-Wing from TRU and didn't want to miss out on Han so bought Rancor Pit and AT-RT for the LEGO Promo. Should get both orders by Friday it seems. :D

@popnfresh, I'm so sorry about your TRU order being cancelled, that could have easily happened to me as well... ordered around the same time as you. If they had done the same to my order I would of been completely done with them as well. You might try calling LEGO customer service and telling them the situation, they might sympathize and give you the same deal? Worth a try... :(

Are you sure it was the B-Wing that shipped and not just the Han Solo and poster? I ordered at 12:01 as well and my Han Solo and poster shipped; but, my B-Wing is still "backordered."
Me too. Mine is still in process. And I ordered right after midnight EST. I will be a super sad Lego panda if my order is cancelled.

I didn't order the half price B-Wing, but I did order the Y-Wing + Watch combo and the Umbaran MHC™ to get the free shipping plus poster plus Han. However, when I placed it midday on Saturday, I got a message saying that due to high volume I might not get a confirmation e-mail for up to 24 hours. Well, it's been well over 48 hours now and I just looked at my order history at S@H and it isn't showing up. I just sent an e-mail to S@H to inquire about it. I'm really hoping that they don't let me down.

I would be much less annoyed if they didn't wait 48 hours to cancel after charging my card and saying my order is processed. They had plenty of time to warn so I could order from s@h, but nope, TRU loves shoddy business practices.

I didn't have my order cancelled but as soon as the sale went live I bought a B-Wing. I was refreshing the page every 5 seconds so I must have been one of the first to purchase and yet still my order is on back order. If I wouldn't have been buying this at such a good price or I would be a little peeved right now. Regardless though their ordering system seems a little out of wack.

I got a notice saying that my b-wing shipped! Maybe my card (discover) processed quicker than others?

it's impossible to find the common reason why some are getting their order cancelled or backordered. I ordered within 1-2 min after sale went live and I had no problems. Everyone who is stating that they had problems would need to document all the specifics of their sale including payment method, credit card used, time, location, use of gift cards, use of vip points, how many sets purchased, other sets purchased with the bwing, etc before anyone can surmise whether there was a common problem to all cancelled orders or backorders.

I don't think the use of discover credit card would be a reason for getting the order in without problems or delays.

I also order a couple of the $14.99 minifigure sets with mine.I ordered mine a minute or two after it went live. I only ordered 1 b-wing. And as I stated, I used a credit card, but used no vip points or gift cards. I am located in New England.

I ordered at 12:01AM EST. I ordered 1 B-Wing with the same credit card I always use at S@H (and had used for another order on May 2nd.) I'm located in the GTA. So far only my bonus items have shipped. My B-Wing is back ordered.

I also placed a second order for the Red Five X-Wing at around 12:06AM and that ordered has shipped in its entirety.

When I called LEGO I was told that my order is in the May 20th back order group. Apparently there is also a May 16th group. I think it is a good sign that the B-Wing is still order-able and isn't "Sold Out".

The only other time I had an issue was during Black Friday a couple of years ago. I ordered the Imperial Flagship and it was in stock. The order quickly went to back ordered status and then was cancelled. I'm positive in that case LEGO did not process orders in the order in which they were placed as I mentioned the deal to a friend and they ordered after me and they received one.

Fingers crossed.

I placed my order about 10 minutes into the sale. Got notice that my complete order (2 B-wings and some other stuff) has shipped.

Now I just hope my VIP points get credited correctly.

I ordered late Saturday night. I thought I hit place order and left the PC and realized around 11pm that it didn't go through and ordered again. I've gotten two emails that the b wing is backordered (same order, I only ordered one) and my 5 CMF, two posters and Han have not shipped. I hope they have enough Han figs, because I will be annoyed if that does't ship. Odd that someone who ordered on Sunday had their promo stuff shipped.

Any time Lego has a sale like this, people desperately grasp for any sense in the order-filling mechanism. And once again, there is none to be found. There are hundreds of customer service reps processing orders, hundreds more verifying inventory, supposedly a team of sleuths looking for people abrogating the quantity restrictions... I imagine it as something like Kafka in primary colors.

"This order is only for you."
"Can you fill it?"
"No."

I received my B-wing and also got a free 70113 Chi battles set as a trial for the speedorz. First time I've seen Lego thrown in surprise freebies, thought that was nice.

Wait wut?? Was the freebie listed on your receipt as such? Did anyone else get any Chima freebies? And, if you don't mind, what was the total amount of your order?

The set was not on the receipt but they included a flyer explaining that the chima set was a free trial. I ordered only 1 B-wing.
