What's the problem with "backorder"? Is it a certain guarantee that the preorder will be canceled if so?
Can't help but think by some metric somewhere their system has the figure as "released" and no longer eligible for pre-order, but also not yet on store shelves in most places - therefore "backordered." If we saw loads of sightings of Vipers in stores and backordered in the preorders, that might be reason to be alarmed. |

Target is much, much better with pre-orders than Walmart is. They're not perfect but, there is a universe of difference in reliability between the two.

It's potentially frustrating, but I'm hopeful still, if only because the figures aren't appearing in the backchannels that indicate that Target is getting them in stock but selling them en masse instead of fulfilling preorders. Hope I don't regret my optimism.

Thanks for clarifying. A quick glance at eBay shows about 2 dozen or so sold Vipers, and only about 10 or so active Vipers that are in-hand. And fewer Fireflies - which are shipping from Target.

So, are these still suppose to go live on Friday - in stores? Because I have been checking popfnder and brickseek every day this week and none of the stores within 75 miles of me list any as in stock. I would prefer to know something before getting up early Friday and going to wait in line. Looks like this is going to be another clusterf##k all over again.

Several local Targets are showing "6" Vipers on Popfinder. There are also 2 different Targets showing "18" at each...

I am hoping it is the same way Friday. But watch now that I said something there will be a line. I also keep checking and I am just getting zeros too. Going either way Friday and asking. |
