I ordered the redeco of Duke and Scarlett and about fell out of my chair when I received a same day shipping notice from BBTS. That literally has never happened to me before. Maybe improvements are afoot in their anticipated shipping speed? They used to be one of the slowest, as items would sit in "warehouse" and "preparing shipment" for sometimes days at a time, but this was a very welcome shock.

Take from this what you will: Funny. Sad. Infuriating.
I have not seen a Joe at this Target since last year (BeachHead). And been checking weekly, or more.
Another example of Target being Target.

I'd love to believe that Hasbro actually cares and that things will change but I doubt they will, at least in regard to Target exclusives. Target doesn't care and Hasbro can't force them to request more stock. So while the Hasbro rep claims they are "working on it", what does that even mean? They can say that none of the Cobra Island figures are "discontinued" but what difference does it make if they aren't actually in stores? I've never seen a single CI figure on a peg/shelf. Ever. I did get lucky two times where a store clerk got me some and one time another shopper handed me a Viper and said I could buy it but I've never just walked into a Target and saw figures in the toy aisle, and I go to many Targets many times each week like a middleclass mom on a mission.

CS reps will say anything to get you off the line. I know from experience lol

I saw this last night. While I agree most CS phone people say think to appease you and get you off the phone, I do like his optimism if for nothing else than just someone trying to put good vibes out there.

I know it does help if you can’t find a figure, I just like some kind of optimism.

Same here, and I agree. I didn't dance up And down and shout "we're saved!!!" or anything, but it was nice just to see a bit of positivity in regards to this mess.

And who knows? Maybe he's right. I mean, Hasbro is in the business of prying our hard earned dollars from our wallets, they're most definitely aware that third parties are making more than they are on these, and they've never really been forthcoming with details regarding what's in the pipeline until they're ready to do so. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
