It looks like they're either ending the sale early for a bunch of things, and/or they've "corrected" the discount prices. A number of the discounted games that were removed are now back in the database (though their webpages aren't loading properly). Some are even back in stock; for example, even though Puerto Rico isn't loading I know it's in stock because it reappeared on my wishlist. I was even able to move it to my cart. The price, however...

In stock:
MidEvil 2: Castle Chaos $10.99
Cosmic Cows $14.99 <-- odd, considering they canceled some orders
Puerto Rico $39.99 <-- again, why the canceled orders?

Out of stock:
Pente $11.99
Carcassone: Princess & Dragon $14.99
Star Munchkin $19.99
Zombies!!! 4: The End $24.99
Mississippi Queen $39.99
Twilight Imperium 3rd Edition $79.99
Etcetera.

It appears that they're either really good at restocking quickly, or they didn't want to honor the prices.

*edited to update status of Puerto Rico and other "sold out" games*

And wow, what an incredible straw man attack. Your parents must be proud.

I didn't say all. Unfortunately, the good one in my area closed up shop years ago. And yes, I bought from them.

I think TRU can apologize to me nicely before I ever shop with them again. Oh, and they can honor their 75% off prices.

Bums.

I just sent them some SCATHING comments. I highly recommend that you all do. If we can take the time to try to order from these bozos, let's take the time to tell them how we feel about their (what amount to a) "BAIT AND SWITCH" operation.

Brilliant!

OK, so look at the email I JUST NOW RECEIVED from these jack@sses:

Dear Valued Customer:

We are responding to your request for notification sent to us on 7/3/2007 for the Twilight Imperium 3rd Edition. It is now available for purchase online! Please visit our site as soon as possible because this item is in high demand and we cannot guarantee quantities!

Obviously, this is untrue. I also received the same thing this morning for Puerto Rico, and that is not available.

Just intolerable...

So much for "Ends July 8th" Right now I tried to load some of those games, the page is blank except for a picture of the game. What the heck?

Stephen missed my favorite part of the email:
"Please note: previous sale prices are not available."

So, they have the item in stock now, but are unwilling to sell it at the previously offered prices?!?!

I'm still waiting for my order from last night to be cancelled.

Thanks for that info, Don. Sometimes you have to let the person at the top know what's going on.

Ouch! You are right, I DID miss that part. Those mothers!

However, the games are not available at ANY price, at least not the ones I have checked (TI3E and PR). When I look at them, I get the pretty picture of the game, but there is no way of ordering them.
