Reports have come in that Toys R Us has CHARGED credit and debit cards for this pre-order. The set isn’t due to ship until November, yet they’ve charged the cards now.
Their policy is not to charge until the item is about to ship. Unless this is to ship in the next few days, then this is a serious error on the part of TRU.
Unless you have a few hundred you can afford to have them hold on your account, DO NOT pre-order this item. I’ll keep you folks appraised if they fix the error.
Such a shame too. They are going to RUIN their own pre-order with this, then blame consumers for low pre-orders. Mark my words…

Don’t you just wish YOU could drive this beast!
That would certainly be a dream come true for me.

Toys R Us has just put up it’s pre-order for the Mega Bloks “Forward Unto Dawn” set.
If you buy this week, you can get another for half price!!
The FUD set is priced at $249. I’m not sure if that’s a pre-order price or the regular price. I’ve heard the price range from $269 up to $299. So if you’re thinking about this, it might be better the just pre-order it now and get it for what is likely going to be the cheapest you’ll be able to get it.
Better yet, if you have a friend who is thinking about getting this set too, then get two for the sale price and save even more. Shipping is free (up to $20) off orders of $75 or more, for which this obviously qualifies.
Don’t wait folks, it’s likely this set isn’t going to be mass produced in the thousands. I’m guessing the pre-order is up to gauge interest in the set and that only a select number will be made. Limited edition numbers? I don’t know that…yet.
