I have the same thing as Guru, plus soundtrack CDs. Maybe it the Deluxe edition or the Voodoo cards that are backordered right now, but the DVD's ready. Either way, that's cool, Catfish, do you have a screenshot so we know what it says?
One or more items are backordered. Your order will ship when all items are in stock.
Mine is still backordered. Must be the T-Shirt, or the Poster print I suppose. Those and the deluxe edition are the three things in that invoice order.
I'm going to guess that the Deluxe Edition is what's not ready, since that seems to be the only thing we all have in common (those who still have it backordered). Of course it could also be several different things.
Must be since I still have it back-ordered and all I have is the Deluxe, no cards or anything.
Okay, then now to narrow it down even more: who here has preordered (and therefore gets the slipcase) but ordered the normal edition, and what's your order's status like?
'Hi Charlie,
We're still awaiting the Monkey deluxe edition, not all the components are in. We hope to receive inventory in the next couple of weeks and we will ship shortly thereafter.
Cheers,
bonnie'
... this is the today-reply for my request to Telltale please to refund my $49.95 deducted March 18th 10 years ago ...
I can hardly wait another xxx number of weeks ...
When I pre-order from other companies, they do not take my money months in advance, but when they ship product ...
FOR GOD'S SAKE! If you don't understand what pre-order means when you pay for it, then DON'T! It means it will be out IN THE FUTURE! Not straight away! Paying first means you don't have the hassle of paying later! You probably would have paid for it if you had to pay when it came out, at the same time, anyway! So STOP COMPLAINING, the only difference I see is you paid earlier!
Not to mention that in a situation like this, some people might pay with a debit card, and if payment was collected at the time of shipping, the card might not have the necessary funds on it by the time shipping rolled around. Or the card that was used for the order may have expired by the time the order shipped.
Or, you know, all that pre-order money could be going towards actually producing the items.
Anyway, this is a fairly unique sort of pre-ordering situation, so I don't know what "other companies" you're comparing to.
But then, you're not listening to anything anyone has to say here, so I find that I don't really care.
I must admit, I am a tiny bit disappointed I have to wait another few weeks, but A TRUE FAN DOESN'T ASK FOR A REFUND IF THEIR ORDER IS DELAYED! THEY TAKE IT LIKE A TRUE PIRATE! AARGH, THESE WHINERS WHINE LIKE DAIRY FARMERS!
I would've liked it sooner, but the wait will be compensated for when my goodies come!
Why even bother replying to obvious trolls like that charlie guy?
People like him are the reason there is a burn warning on cups of coffee.
I don't know. Common sense says to stop feeding the troll, but when someone's acting like such an idiot, it's hard to resist trying to give them a verbal punch in the face.
I think pre-orders make more sense when you pay first. Because then they use that money to make the stuff. But in this case, you only paid for shipping anyway, not for the DVD, so...
Well, I guess you paid for the merch.
Still, you always have the option not to pre-order if you don't want to pay until it's out.
Today I received an email (I paid $49.95 on March 18th on basis that DVD super duper Deluxe absent or whatever vapour-ware [had already paid £25 to Steam to play it last year]} to effect that Telltale are gatthering in the next few weeks a 'few more bits' before they will despatch what we paid for for months ago.
I find it amusing that people want to pay months in advance for unreceived items, but find it more amusing to pay for something I receive.
Oh, yes, because it was put up for PRE-order two months ago and is actually starting to ship now, it's vaporware.
No.
This is not Duke Nukem Forever. This is not the Phantom. This is not vaporware. You paid in advance for an item that did not exist yet so that you would receive it as soon as possible once it did exist. If that's not something you're comfortable with, THEN DON'T BUY IT UNTIL IT'S OUT.
What's really retarded about this is that you're starting to make a fuss about this as the thing is in its FINAL STAGES OF RELEASE.
People like you are what make quiet people like me snap and go on violent rampages. I'm going to bed. Highway and Avistew, keep this troll in line for me, will you?
I am obviously sorry to disturb your connived rip-off scam, but I paid years ago for Monkey Island 1-4/received them on floppy/DVDs or whatever-played them/enjoy them/have them.
Last year, obviously not being as used to being ripped-off as you all are, I heard that Monkey 5 was out, and foolishly via the internet paid £24.99 UK to play/enjoy it via what turns out to be 'Steam' ...
Recently (over 2 months ago) I paid $49-95 to receive in APRIL this year Deluxe TOMI on DVDs etc.
It is May 28th, and your pirate company say that it will be a few more weeks before they might despatch that for which I/maybe you have paid.
I give up. You're a moron, and if you do succeed in getting your refund, then it's your loss. Next time, don't buy if you see the words "pre-order", wait until the thing is released. Then you won't have anything to complain about, and we won't have to listen to it.

And I am over in Europe.
The shipping time will probably be really short...

*does 3 backflips*
Did you just get the standard DVD?
Oh and I wish I could take a screenshot
what OS do you have? If it's windows, you just need to click "print screen" then paste in paint or something.
Mine is still backordered. Must be the T-Shirt, or the Poster print I suppose. Those and the deluxe edition are the three things in that invoice order.
...
I ordered standard.
There we go. Thanks Avistew I learned something tonight.
edit: btw I already have tons of pirate stuff soooo. heh
*dances*

Aye! /dance. Grogs all around

Goodnight, everyone.
You didn't pay to recieve it in april, telltale said it would be shipping out "sometime in may" and they never specified what the deluxe would take
and telltale is the most generous company ive ever come across: definitely not a pirate company
Am I able to request a ban for this idiot?
