You may not find them one week or even a month after a first sighting but you will see them... | |

Can't have the Serpie's walking, can't we? LoL. IMO, it's a cool addition. Also the Stinger and the Flak Cannon, say it isn't sooo. One way or another, I will get them either thru brick and mortar or pre-order. They will be mine, o yes, they will be! LoL | |

I think they want to spread out the vehicles instead of just pushing out new ones so fast. Also due to their production going up, but their distribution going down... I think they plan a huge relaunch and want the stuff that is already out to sell a little more so that they can focus more on retail sales than online sale like they have been for the past 3 or 4 waves..
BBTS won't remove the item entirely, but instead place it in backorder till it has either officially been cancelled or after a certain amount of time.

Forced me to have to buy the whole wave Arctic HISS included and the Arctic HISS which I DO NOT want.
Alas, I am now spending MORE money for my trouble of trying to save money....
Awsome. | Or you could sell it to someone who wants one. I know there are peeps who do.

Their computers are updated through Hasbro's Pre-Order system. My sales rep is still trying to figure out why HAsbro has put them on hold. Pre-Sells were high but not sold-out. Hasbro just updated the system as a 'SOLD-OUT' listing. They belive that Hasbro will still release the vehicles but at a later date, or with the Resolute or Movie Waves. I'll post if I hear anything new.
