For those hoping to order for store pickup at midnight (as I do) here is a quick story of what happened with me:
I live in california. Lightning McQueen and the series 1 TRU exclusive disc were available for order at midnight, east coast time, or 9PM for me here in california. I ordered them immediately and had my transaction done by a little after 9pm. our local TRU is on the ball with store pick up orders, and they are open until 10pm, so an associate immediately received my order and canceled it. why you ask? because even though it was available on the website which goes off the east coast time, it was still just after 9pm here in California...so technically those items werent for sale locally yet. I contacted customer service and the store who informed me that i would either have to A) wait for midnight california time to purchase the items, or B) wait til the store closed and replace my order when nobody was working to cancel it. I waited until around 11pm pacific time and replaced my order, which this time went through and my items were waiting for me the next day.
the store pickup is the way to go. during each of the disc events, S1 & S2 TRU exclusives, if you didn't do it like this, you were more than likely not going to get anything on the release day because soooo many people do the order thing. best bet, wait up, or set your alarm, order them fast, and then sleep in. if i was you, id also hang around for a little bit to make sure nobody cancels your order...and if they do...just keep redoing it until it sticks. thing is, with skylanders being released at midnight, the stores may have associates there late...so if your a west coaster like me...this means they have plenty of opportunities to cancel until it actually hits 12pm local time.
hope this helps anyone looking at doing this and anyone who may get an order cancelled.
