I feel you. On Monday they told me it would be before Thurs. Yesterday I checked in and they said they couldn't give a time-frame. I went ahead and got a refund and picked it up at the Wal-Mart next door.
Can someone tell me if the game is "gamey" in the sense that it provides challenge and interesting things to do whilst trying to obtain your objective?
Everything I hear so far suggests is not really a game for "Gamers" but more for children to wander around in a Lego world. I'd like to know it's different to that and would be a fun game in and of itself.

I'm hoping someone chimes in on this, since if there is a large enough difference in load times I'll save myself the wait from Gamestop and just download it.

Picked this up in Chinatown NYC for you NYC Gaffers, J&L.
Went to Target and Gears of War and God of War were both sold out. But they had Undercover in stock. Damn. Went across the street to Best Buy and picked it up -- both stores had plenty in stock. I guess I'll try another Target later this week to try and take advantage of the B2G1F deal.
It's a fun game but you aren't going to be stuck on puzzles for any length of time. It's nearly identical to every Lego title released before it in terms of puzzles, combat, etc.. The appeal is the humor and endless amount of collectables.
to be fair, most games nowadays are casual.
I'm playing AC3 for the first time and there's been not much of a challenge.

Unfortunately it's hardly even a Lego world. It's a realistic world with some Lego vehicles in it. But from the videos I've watched it does look pretty fun and charming.

Huh, everyone is a lego, how is it not a lego world, there's lego stuff everywhere.

Just bring your local target flyer to best buy and show customer service/check out the deal. They will price match it

Yup. You'd be here all day if you tried to name all the lego things in the game. Certainly not just "some LEGO vehicles".

I've always seen the motif of TT's LEGO games as representing a kid playing with legos in real places. It's the figures, vehicles, set pieces, and little bits and bobs a kid would arrange then imagine that the place they are playing in, fills in the rest of the world.
Likewise. I always took these games as being in a child's imagination with a Lego set. Exploring the city, stopping the character you decided to be an enemy, etc..

I'm really quite surprised to see so many people complaining about jaggies. They're not apparent to me while I play. I'm not sure if it's my TV (720p) or it's settings.
There are brief moments when the game looks so good it could almost pass for a real set of LEGO.
Or my eyes

The last time I tried this they would not price match (was the TRU deal back in Sep/Oct?). But I will call to see if this has changed with their new price matching policy. Thanks for the heads-up.

Press X to block.
This is how I see it too. Like you are a kid and take your LEGO sets and arrange them in a real landscape.

The map in the OP does not represent the game at all. It's HUGE! Plenty of stuff to do.
This is easily my favorite Lego game so far and I've played them all.

You can buy them anytime, just go to the requisition's desk in the basement of the police station and buy them from the guy there.

Can't seem to jump with vehicles. I'm tilting every direction.
You have to pop it up quickly.
lol. Yeah, I was agreeing with you, not pointing out any conspiracy theories in your post. It's all good.

Just called my local GS.
Me: Do you have LCU in yet?
GS flunky: No. We'll probably get it in tomorrow. It was supposed to be released by now but what happened was someone started selling it early so Nintendo pulled the game from store shelves. Now they're shipping it out again. That's why it's delayed.
I shit you not that's what he told me.

That sounds like a reasonable and completely rational thing to do, oh yes.
Actually, I do feel a little bit disappointed that not all buildings are made of Lego, but nitpicking the game for that would be a disservice.
Need a goddamn Lego Mr. Met, now!
Apparently, everything in the game that is made out of LEGO can be built/bought for real as well. I think it was one of the games the developers had. Plus, what everyone else said
That's probably the point, I think it might be near impossible to do actual skyscrapers out of real lego pieces. Either that or it wouldn't look that great.

Go to the police basement, I think the key card is near the requisitions desk, just bash everything around that area, it also might be right from the elevator with the grapple gun. You may also have to sleuth near the lift, but it isn't too hard to find. The red brick console is just up the lift. Double studs helps tremendously.

Just received a text message from GameStop, supposedly my local store will have my preorder in tomorrow afternoon. I damn well hope this is correct.
Me too. I'm advising my wife to call the store before going to pick it up.
I never got why this bothered people. When you play with real legos that's how things look. You use legos in combination with real world items and locations. Unless kids are different these days I don't think I ever played with just the legos and only those when I was small.
Mine didn't.
So this sucks...
I had 14.98 in my account this morning...I buy Punch-Out, now it's 14.68...wife gives me 35 for my birthday so it's up to 49.68...
DAMNIT. Had to buy a ten pointer for it

You don't like linking credit cards to the eshop? You could have just played the remainder with one

When you buy something in the e-shop and you don't have enough funds it gives you the option of adding the difference so you don't have to buy the full increment.
Disguise booth can save the game, you can unlock it after chapter 1
Depends on your state.

You can pay the balance with a credit card at the time of purchase instead of using the credit card to add funds before purchase/check out.... unless you are buying funds through physical cards.
