Will this ship in plain Amazon box? Info on page makes it sound like it will be visible when it ships & my nephew lives here and would see too soon.

If you order the 'hassle-free' packaging, it comes in a regular Amazon box. If you do the 'standard packaging' it comes in it's normal box IN an Amazon box. (For this purchase, there isn't a price difference but there might be on other items.. keep an eye out!)

I preordered this last month and since I'm a prime member, I selected 2 day shipping. Just got an email last night from Amazon informing me I'll get it on release day. So, what you may have to do is go back into your order and update your shipping preference. But you CAN get it on release day.

I just received my order and it came in a plain brown amazon box. It is a christmas gift and i'm not happy about a 2 year old opening the wrapping paper to find a box with no picture. Didn't realize it defaults to frustration free packaging. If it is a gift, make sure you select standard packaging.

Amazon says they shipped this out on Friday and Fedex says that the package is due to be delivered on Sep 1 (Later today). It'll be interesting to see what they shipped. (I did order the silver although that too seems to be 'not released yet').

My hope is that Amazon is being cautious and giving themselves a buffer now. So that when you possibly get it on the 7th you'll be pleasantly surprised. That being said it sounds like Amazon got their shipments in late so that instead of having them day(s) before release so you get it on release day...now they are all after the date. That's what is sounded like when I talked to customer service. Very apologetic but not much they can do. I have 1 day shipping and it's the 8th for me too. I also confirmed that they did NOT oversell the preorders. That was my fear.

Same here, but showing me a shipping date of 1/21 through 2/2. I here sometime Amazon beats there estimated date, but nothing so far to indicate that will happen at this time.

I ordered directly from Amazon on June 25th and received a delivery estimate of July 27 - August 11. I'm hoping to receive it before going on vacation on August 3rd, but I'm guessing it is going to get delayed. It appears to be in-stock and available from other sellers, but at about a hundred dollars more.

I think it can arrive on release day depending on where you live. Otherwise the soonest it will arrive is the 7th, depending on the shipping method you selected.EDIT: Alright all our e-mails came in today and the estimated is on the 8th, even though I chose 1-day shipping. Hopefully it shows up tomorrow or the 7th.

Item normal packaging should be inside another box to conceal purchase. Mine was ordered with other items all boxed together in plain amazon box. It may depend on the shipper; amazon or another company using amazon site for sales.

I ordered mine earlier this year but when it arrived from amazon it was in a plain cardboard shipping box. Inside that, however, the product comes in a clearly labeled box with a large picture of the item front and center.

I seem to have ordered right before it said that. It originally said "ships in 2-4 weeks." Now it says its not available at all straight from amazon. A week later it still hasn't shipped, or more specifically, Amazon doesn't have it yet. After trying to get some answers, it basically comes down to a "it will ship whenever we get it and if you don't like it cancel the order or order it from a merchant" situation. No way I'm ordering anything from merchants, so I'll stick it out a bit longer. They have upgraded my shipping to one-day for all the vagueness and confusion so at least there's something positive.

In my experience amazon sellers often dont picture the complete package so not SEEing it does not necessarily mean you wont get it. But noone here actually is involved in shipping your purchase -- unlike on eBay. Have you tried contacting the seller?

I ordered today with prime and two day shipping, but now it said expected delivery is Nov 12th...not cool. I need to figure out whats going on because it says in stock and fulfilled by amazon. Please let me know if there are any more details i'm missing!

I preordered mine and on my Amazon order page it says that "this item will NOT arrive by December 24th" I had heard mid-December but based on the fact that it will not arrive by Christmas, I'm not real confident in a December release.

I think amazon must have hired a new shipping department. This is becoming standard operating procedure. If it keeps up I'll be shopping a lot less via http://amazon.com.
