Good news. My Cars playset and Francesco figure part of my Amazon order has shipped and should arrive on Monday. My starter pack part of the order still hasn't shipped though but has been upgraded to Shipping Now status and should arrive on Tuesday.

The Cars playset and Francesco figure are coming from an Indiana warehouse which is one state away from me. I guess the starter pack is in a different warehouse though which is why my shipment was split into 2.

I am still hoping that the Cars Play Set price is lowered tomorrow on Amazon.com to price match the Target deal. Then we would get the discount due to Amazon.com's preorder price guarantee if the price lowers before 12:00am Monday.

Amazon told me they don't price match, so I cancelled Cars, and will get it from Target tomorrow, hopefully.

Amazon never price matches some times they drop the price to match it for a day or week so they kinda do it but it's random they might and might not

Amazon does not officially price match and they will definitely tell you that if you ask, but they do lower their prices on items to match other companies prices to be competitive. The reason that the Prima Official Guide is currently $11.99 at Amazon.com is because it is currently listed at $11.99 on Walmart's website. There is a link on each item's amazon.com listing that says tell us about a lower price. Amazon.com is not aware of Target's price until tomorrow so there is always a chance. If enough people "tell is about a lower price", they could modify the price in time for all of the people that preordered to get the price adjustment.

Just a quick update. My Cars playset and Francesco figure arrived today. Woohoo! :)

My Xbox starter pack has not shipped yet. It is still listed as "Shipping Now" at the time of this post and the game still has an estimated delivery time of tomorrow. I hope it arrives on time or else I will probably ask for some money back on part of the shipping charge.

Also, Amazon gave me a refund on the Cars playset and Francesco figure. It was a nice surprise when I got the email today. The Francesco figure got me a refund of 3 cents because the price dropped to $12.96. haha. :) However, the Cars playset got me a refund of $15.03 because the price dropped to $19.96. I guess this was a result of the Target sale that Amazon lowered the price of the playset. I don't mind getting some money back. ;)

Also, my Amazon order arrived today!! Guess I'm lucky cause the warehouse my stuff came from is in my town :D
