this has been happening more than you think jugsy, you need to harass the store you pre-ordered from, make sure you get what's owed, you have the rights of any consumer
but yes, it's been known for suppliers such as (as an example, not pointing fingers) amazon and best buy to really fudge up the pre-order process.
good luck jugsy, harass them and spank them until you get your AoC bits n pieces
