Also, I wanted to mention one general note about online ordering through
Shop At Home. In order to avoid overselling products and having to cancel
orders once a product is sold out, there is a cut off when the product
inventory reaches a certain point.

I'm very sorry to say, this feature is *not* working.

I placed my order for some of the spare parts packs early on May 3,
all of which (except 5162) were listed as "Available".
(5162 was listed as "Backordered").
In fact, they remained listed as "Available" for many hours after
I placed my order.

I just now got an email stating these items are no longer available:

5138 Castle Accessories
5393 Hats and Wigs
5187 Bricks with Groove and Garage Panels
5162 Fences and Gates

and my order was being *Cancelled* and replaced by a new "P" series
order without these items.

I am really suspicious that I got knocked to the back of the queue
for some reason and I am wondering why.  Did anyone else get a
cancellation notice like this?

Jake, right now I am a *very* unhappy customer.
