I haven't had good luck with this in the past. Lately they ask me to call back on the morning of the launch. But it's worth calling if you want to give it a try.does anyone know if stores are taking pre orders?

Oh God. The Osbournes and RHPS. Worse DAYS of my life.Where I'm at, the Mac launches lately have been showing up around the 7-9 am gap of the release date. Unless they mess this up like the Osbourne collection, so far they've been a teeny tiny bit more consistent with their release hours.
It's even worse that ye who shall not be named is a reseller and/or promotes reselling at inflated prices. Very lame and petty.

Been there, done that. Didn't work to well.Ugh, can't we start speaking in code or something?
Exactly! Deja Vu!Oh God. The Osbournes and RHPS. Worse DAYS of my life.
This about sums up my thoughts on this morning...
Same here, I've never had an issue with MAC's site as long as I stalk like a mad womanI really just wanted Summer Opal. Going to try my luck tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
I agree and disagree with you. Yes, yes, yes, Nordies botched this up royally! But it all boils down to MAC and how they treat loyal customers. Never giving an official release time, playing like Nordies may/may not get the collection at the same time as everyone else... and most importantly, making such little stock that it really behooves re-sellers to purchase the max amount of items permitted-- because they *know* people will pay the prices because they missed out. Which results in just normal makeup consumers missing out and feeling frustrated. If there was more stock (but not so much that it's not considered LE) then a lot of this mess would be easily eliminated in my opinion. I know that MAC has a huge following, and things are going to sell out quickly regardless... but when things sell out in under an hour sometimes, it's just discouraging. Or how, for RHPS, some stores only got 2-3 items and were directed by MAC to use one as a tester. While they have a line out the door before they open! It's just bad business practice to me, unfortunately.Keep in mind that not all launches are like this. Yes, Mac LE collections are hard to get your hands on when the hype of the collection is increased, but to be fair, I think Nordstrom is to blame, not so much MAC in this case.
I'll be stalking Mac for Lavender Jade. I imagine I'd have better luck if I was looking for a unicorn!Mac's launch is going to be similiar to the Osbournes with a side of RHPS. Get your game faces on! Its not going to be pretty....
I think the same thing happened with proenza I think...T bought the blushes herself for review after the collection launched online.I think this entire collection is cursed. From the accidental leak a few months ago and that fiasco to this fiasco. Bleh.
It was ridiculousWow almost 1000 new posts this morning. Something must be up. hboy:
