I love the theories that the stores aren't getting them because they need to fill the online orders, or the online orders aren't being filled because they sent some to the stores. These theories don't even make sense, and Hasbro Toy Shop is the perfect example of why.
All major online retailers that have B&M stores treat the two divisions as completely separate entities. Target ordered 'x' number of these, and a portion of that amount was allocated to their online store just like a portion was allocated to the retail stores that would be carrying these.
Instead of everyone focusing on the bad news of their order being delayed, focus on what is most likely good news, if Target is getting more of these in November, they placed another order with Hasbro... which means that even if these sell out in the stores next week when they hit mass retail, we can probably bet that they'll be restocked in November.
Honestly, everyone here needs to relax... it isn't like these are a numbered 1 to 5000 exclusive or something, it seems like either Target was originally planning to restock these (unlike the exclusives back in April/May), or they decided to restock after they massively oversold the quantity they originally allocated to their online store.
What worries me is the cancellations.... I suspect a lot of you are confirming the November ship date as OK for your pre-order, but will cancel the pre-order once you find them in stores. However, I doubt this will be a problem because I'm sure there are plenty of other people who will be happy to pick up another Rattler or ten to add to your squadron.
