How can sellers be offering this item today (10/21/13) claiming to have it in stock when the release date is 11/12/13, and the retail will be $19.99?

On MANY occasions there has been an "initial", or anticipated release date established so ALL locations will have the product, for sure. I have encountered stores releasing the particular item as much as 2 months ahead of the "release date". This particular item is NOT part of the "standard" Nerf Rebelle Heartbreaker bow pack. (The Phoenix and Vine designs) This has be commissioned specifically for ONE company, and besides the gold decorations this also has a target in the package and the retail is higher from what I have seen. They are VERY limited, at least in our area, and I do know some friend's in another state said they were available there in October and very limited quantities have been coming in there. I hope this is of some additional assistance to Niredy4's answer. (In short, some stores don't hold their sales until the release date.) Happy shopping!

Purchased mine on January 25th and I'm still waiting in the backorder queue, if that gives you any indication. I'll let you know when mine shows up, as it might give you an idea about yours. Regardless, I think waiting 4 weeks or so for Amazon to restock is well worth paying the MSRP instead of the 20% to 40% markup other online retailers are charging, including some of Amazon's own 3rd party sellers. I don't fault them for charging it though. If consumers are willing to pay the inflated prices then there's no reason a business shouldn't capitalize on it. I'm just saying I won't. waiting 30 days or so for delivery is worth $200 or more in my pocket. End of rant. ;o)

how are they offering this bundle at that price 2,309.00 when it shows its "Currently unavailable"

I paid $2 plus $2 shipping. It is currently shown as $4. My guess is the price changes with popularity. I would keep watching and buy when it drops!

I am in same boat guys, I did notice on eBay a lot of the vendors are saying "pre-order till March 11". Hard to imagine Amazon getting it much later than them. Good luck.

Yup, you're not going to sell it at that price. For an extra $500 bucks I'll gladly wait until April for mine. I ordered mine Feb. 23rd and my shipping has not changed since then. :-(

It would be nice to know, they told me the 8th as well but I paid for one day shipping. I'm really considering cancelling and swinging by a gamestop to pick it up. Amazon would be wise to try and keep their customer's loyalty by sending their items out on time. Why anyone would want to wait 2-3 days to get an item they pre-ordered months in advance is beyond me, I assumed we all chose this for the reason of having it release day, or at the very least, the following day.

this item is backordered. Amazon sometimes promises future delivery range without having products on hand/in stock; I ordered one to lock in the $197 price

I dont't understand the logic here. This product is being advertised all over the web that it would be released on the 22nd. I sent my order through Amazon today but I wonder now if I should have waited more or go somewhere else.

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 also pre-ordered this unit on May 6th at the $379 price. At first it would be delivered at the end of May, and then on June 5th. Now there are no estimates on when they will have them for delivery. I called the manufacturer and was told they are in stock and available at other outlets on the web. They also said they do not sell direct to Amazon. I am concerned that Amazon has sold a number of these units at a price that will cause them to lose money if they deliver. I hope this is not what is behind this mystery.

I just received an "In-Stock ready to ship" notice from Next Day PC and is cheaper than Price Pros if anyone is interested. Personally, I'm sticking with my pre-order.

Thank you for noticing! I thought I was the only one who questioned this. I would never have known if I hadn't tried to order one for my mom's birthday because she liked mine so much. I nearly dropped my teeth when it was listed at $119.00. I checked the next day and it was $249.00! In addition, there was a new seller. It appears as if the second seller bought out the first one. Other sites seemed to have their stock dried up as well. When I bought mine Amazon sold it and I used my prime membership to save on shipping. Seems like someone figured out a dirty little way to scam us. I wonder how many other low profile products are going the same way. I called customer service. I did not get a satisfactory response, so I e-mailed them just now. I hope they take notice.

Preordered this and I just received an email from Amazon saying it would be delivered on 10/22. Checking the product page at Amazon, it's no longer pre-order, it's available now.

I just saw that Best Buy has it listed for the price that Amazon had it listed at not too long ago (around 2,200.00). It's not available at all their stores though..

The the price they had listed was an initial projected price from before any announcements of pricing. The actual price is reflected on the product page now. Just like anything else, if the actual price ends up being lower than what you pre-ordered at you only pay the actual price. Not the higher price just because you were excited and pre-ordered months early for no reason.
