I had to approve a delay this morning for the Black Series Carbonized Mandalorian. They're doing another run of it. I already have the figure, but it was so popular before, I figured what the hell and put in a preorder for it a few months ago.

Same here. I want what I want and I'm gonna get it.

Same here. I've bought all of my CI figures on ebay, except Roadblock, who I found one time in a store. Never seen any Classified figures at all in any store otherwise. I've bought all my non-CI figures from BBTS.

I'm guessing my preorder was so far behind yours that Target realized they'd never get to mine & canceled it. Maybe. Actually, who the F knows what Target does and why anymore.

I hear ya...ordered mine in the first MINUTE preorders were open and still got screwed. The back-and-forth between “Backordered” and “Preparing to Ship.” Sometimes one figure, sometimes both. Currently back to “ Backordered” for the 4th time. I guess the only bright spot (knock on wood) is that it hasn’t been cancelled outright... yet.

I still can't figure out why they cancelled my Zartan pre-order. He's not an exclusive. He should have plenty of stock. Yet, they cancelled it without notice - even before the expected ship date.

This is wishful thinking but maybe Target is backing away from the GI JOE line in general because of all the flak they catch for their poor handling of distribution. Ha. Probably not the case. But I would love for Target to exit this line just so I can stop going to all these Target locations just to find empty pegs/shelves every damn week.

Are there any other aggregators out there that list all the product availability in one spot?

Cobra Island Wave 2 is done. At least in Middle Tennessee. My friend at Target showed me her handheld that lists the Viper and Firefly as "discontinued"

That is weird. I ordered Zartan from Target too (because we're gluttons for punishment?) and it arrives Thursday. Sure hope it's actually Zartan because it was delayed twice. I fully expected it to be cancelled.

Every few days is like "whack-a-mole", wake up to see if that "Action Needed:..." email comes from Target, and then click on that link ASAP to approve the delay. I've had an instance where they sent me the "Action Needed..." email at 5am, then canceled my order at 8am because I "have not responded" (I woke up late that day because it was my day off), I hate these games Target play, but yet I play along...

Cobra Island wave 2 is done in my neck of the woods. Never seen them pop up on popfinder besides once, and now they are gone from targets website as well as most inventory checkers in my area
