Hopefully they can fulfill everyone's orders before halloween.
I noticed this too. Should we be concerned that we're going to get them at all or is this a sign that they're not taking any more orders and will start to fulfill the ones they have?
Sounds like they're fulfilling existing orders before taking on new ones--gotta say, I'm rather impressed with that business model. I have three packs on order with them and haven't received any notice of them cancelling it and I also checked my order this morning and it still shows an approximate 15-Oct-2017 ship date.

Not sure how this would effect those of us with existing orders if it is true. I would hope they could come to some agreement to at least finish up the preorders.
Anyone have more information on this?
Don't waste your time believing in a C&D because of what was said in a YouTube video. Looking at the packaging, Spirit would be risking huge $ by not having permission to make this so I doubt that's the case--they use the logo, the font, the name, everything; I'm fairly certain they had the licensing rights. Besides, if they didn't have the licensing rights, all GB material, and probably Star Wars too, would have been removed from the site. No need to start a panic GK45.
