I just thought I would point out, my own personal experience, of pre-ordering exclusives online. It's jarring how much smoother it's been with Walmart Vs Target.
I was able to pre-order the following exclusive items from Walmart, and all of them have shown up in near mint packaging:
Retro Awe Strikers
Retro Scarlett X2
Retro Lady Jay x2
Retro Snake Eyes
Retro Boba Fett x5
Retro Star Wars Wave 2
TVC MANDO & CHILD 2pack X2
TVC Incenerator Trooper x3
Black Series Mandalorian Super Commando
Black Series Mandalorian Loyalist
Black Series 322nd Ahsoka’s Clone Trooper
Black Series Ahsoka Tano
TVC Carbonized - Mando
TVC Carbonized - Cara Dune
TVC Carbonized - Death Trooper
TVC Carbonized - Remnant Stormtrooper
There's probably others I'm not remembering, but you get the picture.
Now let's compare to what I've been able to successfully pre-order and receive from Target:
Black Series Mountain Trooper
Black series Hondo
Shang-Chi Katy
Meanwhile, the list of what I could not preorder online from Target:
Classified Viper
Classified BeachHead
Classified Baroness
Classified Trooper
Classified Firefly
Black Series Deluxe Mando
Black series Remnant Stormtroper
Retro Prototype Boba Fett
Credit Collection Cara Dune
And these are just the ones off the top of my head.
This tells me, the problem is Target, not Hasbro. I'm sure some of you are reading this and saying "duh". But I keep hearing about how Walmart is worse than Target for exclusives. Really? Does the list above not say otherwise? I haven't even talked about Gamestop, where I have been able to buy EVERY exclusive they've had, with ease. Online purchases are clearly the present/future of toy buying for collectors. Target needs to get their act together.
Ok, Target bitch-fest over.
