Anyone know the score with the Dorkside Toys preorders? When they’re likely to ship?
Great to see people grabbing Joe at retail again (along with the store displays lol), but here in Europe we’re relying on the toy websites. |

So from all the instagram posts and folks finding the toys, it seems that most walmarts were given essentially two case assortments of the classified series along with the display. Some stores often if they don't got a space or just don't care won't even put our their cardboard displays, they often get tossed out too. But from those finding full shelves and those not even in the cardboard endcap display pieces, it seems to be consistent two cases worth of figures. So far from everyone who went and wiped out their walmarts, they essentially all have the same story of getting 2 sets, 12 figures and that was all they had on shelves.
Now to see if they actually reorder, this is what the line needs, big box retailers willing to buy more cases of these. But these big box retailers have been really bad at stocking their toy aisles, all my local targets and walmarts looks awful with huge gaps of nothing on the shelves, even stuff like Transformers you see the popular toys picked out and essentially same unwanted figs there for months with no restocks. Star Wars lines are awful too, toys are just being treated badly nowadays. Last edited by PanzerKrake; 07-08-2020 at 08:34 AM.. |

Thanks for posting the SKU’s!
Looking at the extremely limited stock in my area makes me a little more relieved that I pre-ordered all of these from Pulse. While it’s an annoyance dealing with their shenanigans I am glad I’m not going to miss out on these. This first wave could end up hard to find.

My son collects Nascar diecast cars. The Walmart that used to be faithful in restocking and getting new waves in first has not put new product on the shelf since Wave 11, 2018! They are a full year-and-a-half behind at this point.

I placed a BBTS order for a case and I received it last month. I also have a BBTS order in for another Duke and SE but those have not shipped.

It sucks but at least it's a good sign when they are not able to fill so many preorders after release, if anything it's gonna help push these online retailers to be ordering more of the future waves as the big box retailers struggle to properly stock their stores, or once they sell out of a toy, they don't even bother to reorder anymore. |

I don't bother to even toy hunt at retail anymore, stores are awful at stocking anything anymore, they complain about online competition but they leave us no choice. If I want a toy, I just preorder online nowadays.
