I had 2 orders of Zartans for a while now and both got cancelled today. Anyone else? Usually this means they're about to ship them soon, so naturally all orders must be cancelled to prepare for us all to order again. I do expect them to come in stock soon unless Walmart has changed the way they do stupid things to everyone.

I had my Zartan and 1 of my 2 Cobra Infantry figures cancelled by Walmart today. All were preordered within the first few minutes of them going on sale on day one. Between this, the issues with the Retro line, and the nonsense with Target and its CI exclusives, GI Joe collecting is and absolute mess. Hasbro needs to get their distribution in order and get their retail partners to clean up their acts. It's unbelievably infuriating.

Why in the world are you guys ordering from Walmart and Target? I mean, seriously, they aren’t online retailers. Zartan is available everywhere... Amazon, BBTS, Dorkside, GameStop... come on people, this not a rare figure.

I didn't mean to suggest it was rare, just that it happened. If it was rare or exclusive at least it would make more sense.

I've found that "rare" is a relative term nowadays. Just because something is not an exclusive doesn't mean it's not scarce and nearly impossible to find without paying ebay prices.

True, none of us really know what is rare and what isn't. Zartan for instance may not be rare, but he has gone quickly out of stock on Pulse, Amazon and Walmart with only short glimpses of being in-stock. With sites like EE/Dorkside, they tend to leave preorders always in stock and just push the arrival dates back which looks great but doesn't necessarily always work. I tend to order from Pulse, Amazon AND Walmart so I'm prepared for early shipments, cancellations, bad condition, etc.

Yeah I don't order figures from Walmart or Target or even Amazon anymore, I swear they'll ship them in a bubble envelope lol

To be fair to Target, IF I get an order in I always get it. Nothing has ever been cancelled. But being able to order is the real trick isn't it...

This whole situation is so baffling. |
