Which is why no pre-orders is stupid and it coming straight from Hasbro the Marvels Vulture from the movie is just order when released no pre-order ordered by Hasbro what is the logic in this thinking?

Unless Hasbro's Emily is just outright lying to us there will be a preorder for the BAT and Alley Viper. The preorder just might not happen until after some of them have made it to Target or Walmart.
I suspect that the preorder will happen before this rumored December 22 street date.

I'm just speculating but I could see why some items are just starting to go straight to release and skip over the pre-order process.

It's the same freaking gung ho. No way that photoshop will give you an accurate representation of the colors from a shitty video screenshot at 72dpi. There is a shadow hovering over the figure from the cube shelving that it sits in.
The lighting is way off on these as both emily and sam's face have a dark red hue on them.

Target, Walmart, Pulse, and Amazon sell these figures out every time (for the most part) whether people are preordering or not. They couldn't care less whether they sell them as a preorder or sell them during the 2 minutes they stay up for in-stock ordering. Personally, I think the entire long-term preorder system is anti-customer and should be discarded. There is no way we should be preordering stuff that is 6+ months out for delivery. But I really doubt that this model of buying figures is going to change in the near future. Edit: As for why Blaster, BAT, and Alley Vipers might skip preordering, that is some kind of weird mixup at Hasbro (we've debated it endlessly in this thread). And you can tell it wasn't intentional because the very next wave of Transformer and Joe stuff went up for long-term preorders, as usual.

For the record, I am only 38 but apparently I think I am dying?

Maybe I missed a different statement from Emily, but on here she said it was up to the retailers how they wanted to release them. Didn't sound like a preorder was guaranteed at all.

The good thing about 6+ month preorders is that you don't feel bad afterwards because technically you didn't buy anything......yet.

Allowing for the fact that circumstances change (and our supply chain means not a whole lot can be reliably predicted right now), willing to say "outright lying" might be overstating where "sh*t happens" might be a more accurate explanation for any contradiction in availability vs preorder.
