haha relax everyone...half of the line is backordered at most counters and at the warehouse. BECAUSE they didn't anticipate how popular the line would be. All counters will be FULLY stocked (if not already) in the next few weeks. This goes for the eye kohls and pigments mostly...I believe my counter only got 6 or 9 of each color...so it's alll good.

This is weeeird. But anywhoo.. I'm going to the Pro Store tomorrow (possibly freakishly early). I went there Monday to peruse the goods (and possibly grab a few early) and they hadn't even received stock yet (the MA was nice and offered to sell it to me.. but then the manager said they didn't even have it). I'm assuming a lot of places didn't get their stock.. however.. this means that Robson should still have their goods

Hey tinagrzela! I'm in a small town called Tiverton. It's on the shore of Lake Huron. Check on here...I'm sure someone in TO would do a CP for you.

Ohmigoodness, i was worried about this. I wont have enough to get all of what i want (approx. $250 worth of sweetie cake!!), so i am going to my counter tomorrow to at least get the pigments & a softsparkle pencil.
This is such a cute line, im scared that everything is gonna be sold out by the time my check goes through. Darn getting paid on Fridays!!!
Good luck to everyone tomorrow on getting what they want.

Seconded and doubly so for me because I live in the UK where we are not getting Sweetie Cake at all, where we regularly miss out on releases, where we do not have firm release dates and have to take pot luck on getting new collections and where (when we do get stuff) we have to pay much higher prices for it.
I'm getting a CP of Sweetie Cake but it still sucks in a major way that MAC continually screw us Brits over far worse than most other countries in which they sell, and that they charge us ridiculous prices for the products they do graciously deign to release here.

That is what I had to do. Thankfully I found a store that had the whole collection in still. But I do not live in Canada so I could buy from US MAC store. Although I had to call across the country to get it!! ARGH!
I called MAC Pro 800 number today and was completely infuriated that they were out of stock there too. Usually even if the site is out they are not.
I was really ticked off. They said that they doubted it was coming back in, because it was LE and all.
I am getting really fed up with this behavior. I mean, if they are going to sell a collection, make sure that they have enough so that people can buy it.
I just do not get their erratic behavior.

UPDATE:
For those whose counter is out/no stock of certain Sweetie Cake items:
I went bright and early this morning (Vancouver, Bay Counter) to make sure I got my stuff from the collection. When I got there, I too saw that many things were sold out, or so I thought. When I talked to the MA, she let me know that a lot of stuff didn't arrive at all (there were no pencils or Lily White), and would be arriving sometime next week. She said not to worry, it wasn't a stock issue but rather a logistical mishap and a lot of places, including the website had received minimal stock, or only partial stock.
So don't worry my lovelies! Sounds like we will all have a chance to get our hands on the stuff we want!
PS: I picked up Mouth Watering this morning and let me tell you - it is mouth watering! So nice on! I really recommend it for anyone - the colour is so lovely and sheer

Thanks for this. My local counter hasn't received lily white (which is the one I wanted most of course) and I was swearing and cursing about it. It always seems to happen here. GRRRRRRR. I'll calm down now

Praying to the Easter Bunny!
Any any other mystical creature that'll listen! I'm trying desperately to get my hands on the collection before my daughter graduates! I hope you're right, and that they'll re-stock soon.
I did a live chat, and they basically told me they couldn't help me. I call the 800#, and they said they're sold out, but offered no hope. I tried to get items delivered to my mom's (in Florida), since the US site still has everything, but they won't, because my CC's billing address is Canadian *sigh*
I'm just waiting to get home to try to call the PRO stores across Canada, to see if anyone will ship.
If anyone with a PRO discount in US is feeling the need to do their 'good deed for the year', I'd give my right arm for a CP of the quad!
Anyway, thank you ladies for sharing my grief! Let's keep our fingers/eyes/toes crossed!
PS: MAC is a CANADIAN company - why are we always getting shafted?!?

I headed straight to my MAC counter after my afternoon exam, and got there shortly after 5. I just about had a heart attack when I found out they only had ONE Apricot Pink left. Eep. I think I said "I'll take it!" so fast I had to repeat myself. Scared the heck out of me. I also picked up Pinked Mauve as they oly had 4 left, and my friend mentioned wanting to pick it up. I was pretty sure they might not have it when she got around to dropping by. I think both pigments are beautiful. I also picked up Petit Four which I really like. Sadly all the soft sparkle pencils weren't in yet.

That is correct, though the majority of MAC is still manufactured in Canada.
LOL - you think we would just be able to drop by the warehouse or something, pick up some Sweetie Cake. It's kinda ironic that we are closest to where it's made yet we have the least in stock!
