Lol, why would they change the release date? Manufacturing problems, perhaps? O_o

I checked mine today and it says: Expected Ship Date: 10/7/2008
Maybe it depends when you ordered it, I ordered mine on: 7/13/2008
So maybe if you order today it ships in Dec. Strange.

According to actionfigure.com its been discontinued?

In a funny twist, it appears I had an order in for this piece and since it had been so long, I forgot completely. Tonight, HasbroToyShop sent me the bad news...

Thank you for shopping with HasbroToyShop.com. Due to high demand, the following item(s) you ordered are not currently available. Please note the revised availability of the items below:

No revised availability is given. This bit of information is then contradicted with a second message...

DISCONTINUED ITEM(S)
Item number: 92700
Item name: Cloverfield Movie Monster
Quantity: 1

Discontinued, being Latin for canceled. As a further baffle, a quick visit to the Cloverfield Monster's sales page reveals this information...

In-Stock! This product will begin shipping on or about 12/15.

So..cancelled? Discontinued? Rescheduled? In my experience, a company only calls an item discontinued after its sold for a while and they've stopped making it. Since the Cloverfield Monster never actually made it to anyone's house, I'm going to call it canceled. We'll keep you posted as we get more info. Until that time, R.I.P. Clover and her little, tiny parasite thingies.

I fear Hasbro has decided that the toy isn't selling in enough numbers and being released this much later (after the film), it wouldn't have enough attention to garner any increase in sales. Sad thing, as if it had shipped in Sept. as I believe was originally stated it could have revived public interest in the film and it's viral campaign, and thus a potential sequel or other expansion of the Cloverfield universe.

This is a bit like a harsh death blow to the world of Cloverfield. If it really is cancelled, I hope that some day the 'franchise' can rise again like a phoenix from it's own ashes.

At least that could justify having driven us all batshit insane.

They still list it for sale and expected ship date of 12/15/09. Possibly, I could see why they would cancel a pre-order because they cannot ship within the legal timeframe (30 days).

Funny though it says "In Stock" on the page. I'll shoot them an email asking for clarification of whats going on and post it up here.
