    Yeah me too. But it seems like Walmart's website puts orders up for plenty of stock as opposed to Target? Maybe? I dunno...but lately, pre-ordering through Target gives me deja vu of preordering Bandai Macross stuff :lol  So I'll happily wait til my stores get it in...or settle for not having it, and saving my money. No biggie.

    I resolved myself to only buy Vintage once I complete my remaining Black Series OT figures (Endor 3, Hoth Luke, Hoth Han, Thrawn). So today I was able to preorder Moff Gideon, Armorer, and the Mando/Child set. Thankful for an easy experience overall. Now to just sit back and wait.

    VC Hondo arrives this evening. I’d almost forgotten about the delivery. That’s how used to preordering I’m getting.

    It'll be interesting to see what happens with this TVC Mando/Child set that some of us preordered October 23rd with a $24.99 price.

    Me too. $25 would have been insane for that set. I wouldn’t put it past Hasbro though.

    I've read a couple stores and they all have mixed release dates for the Retro Collection.

    The regular Lady Armoured Mando has a plastic cape and two regular forge tools. The Deluxe version has Fur Cape, two additional forge tools with different coloured tips, flame effect and the coloured Mando helmet for Din.

    Deluxe box is 3× larger and better looking than the regular version.

    You thinking that Walmart will loser the price you mean? I had the old link on another tab and actually ordered mine from the link that AzT posted. Then went back and saw that the old link updated the price to the lower price after I hit refresh.

    Yeah, I'm wondering if the price will lower. I did order on the 23rd and my Walmart order history still shows $24.99. I suppose I could cancel and reorder, but I kinda feel like letting it ride and seeing what happens.

    these are pretty much the real deal goldspira.jpg silverspira.jpg

    the Batuuan Spira metal gift cards from Galaxy's Edge...you gotta load them with minimum $100 but get to keep the (very) hefty metal ingot as a souvenir...the gold ones were available when the land opened and were free to load but now that they moved on to the silvers they charge $5 to load

    I guess the buildup Mando from walmart.com that went up early over the weekend was for $25 but the actual listing is $18, so I wonder if walmart is sending the same thing and overcharged the early jumpers-on?

    it was a limit of one per order

    I'm almost certain walmart doesn't cap their preorders so that's why they continuously delay preorders to the point where they have to cancel them...it's happened too many times to me and it is obvious items are going up and out online when they come in before preorders are filled...

    Target on the other hand seems to put up a minimal amount of preorders intially and then later adds more in at the release date...is it to stoke excitement/traffic at their site/stores?

    With all they revealed yesterday, what could they possibly do for the next 8 weeks?

    Ahhh, yeah I wonder if they will change the price. I think I remember they did that for Doubledealer when they lowered the price (they lowered the price in people's orders). I actually cancelled mine and reordered it at the lower price, but that was before Walmart changed the price. I then cancelled my order because I just didn't feel like I needed him (not really having any attachment to the toy).

    Oh those gift cards are really awesome!!! Hopefully they'll still have them when I eventually get over there. I so gotta get one of those.
