At one point we were told by Lenny and Emily those Target figures were the next ones to come (I believe it was in the April event), but they changed that at the beginning of June to say the SS/Officer/Spirit wave had left the Hasbro warehouse.

There has been some speculation here and elsewhere that logistical difficulties related to Target are holding the figures up.

Got Storm Shadow today in the post and he is a very well designed figure. Figure photographers will have a field day.

Emily mentioned the PP and TF figures had shipped out, as well as the others, on June 8th. As for what Target is waiting for, I believe I read something about some retailers wanting to wait until they have everything before they start shipping. That never seemed to stop Target before, but they're not really super consistent, either.

Got Spirit today from Amazon and Croc tomorrow. They were taking orders for both with a 6/28 eta a couple days ago.

The bad thing about Amazon is they have no concept of what a collectors item is so it'll arrive rattling around in a box or in an envelope. Ok for openers I guess but glad to finally see Spirit in person

I try to order Amazon figures in multiples to avoid that. My two Officers shipped in a box. At the very least they ship in Hasbro-provided outer boxes for exclusives like HA Roadblock and hopefully Kamakura.

I try to do the same. There's still usually too much room in the box with no padding so they can shift around which scuffs up the display windows or bends corners. Better than the plastic bag or paper envelope though. We all know what we're getting into with Amazon but at least they pulled through before anyone else in my case. No word yet on my Gamestop and EE preorders from last year
