    Same for my order of Overload and Blitzwing. If Target were cancelling all the old pre-orders so we'd have to buy them for full price, it certainly backfired on them in my case. So suck it target, suck it long or suck it hard, but suck it none the less.

    It's been a cheap insurance policy for me to just go ahead and buy it in store if I see it before the pre-order ships.
    I bought Biltzwing for a lower price during the BOGO promotion a few weeks ago.

    As for Overload I passed on him several times at both Walmart and Target, for the same reason you did. After the delay emails kept coming, I started looking only to find none in stock locally. Then last Friday I found one at Target for $26.96. Had I realized I should have paired it with another voyager to get the discount... but getting a leader figure for the voyager price was good enough for me.

    I just found him and Trailbreaker last night and only paid $13 and change for each... time to cancel my pre-order

    Both my Thrust and Runabout show as preparing to ship.

    Well, my Runabout is preparing to ship, but my Thrust is still saying December 2nd-7th. *sigh* I really hope I don't have to go chase him down because they cancel my order or some such nonsense. =\

    Frustrating, finally have been hit with a canceled order. I ordered SS Blitzwing way back in February with a BOGO 50% deal. Kept getting the delayed email, kept approving the delay. Today I got an email that they have canceled my order.

    Target has generally been good for me. This is their first fuck up for me.

    I have two orders for 1x each Runabout and Thrust. First order says "Preparing to ship" with an arrival date of 12/2, while the other just lists the preorder status.

    My situation with Blitzwing and Cliffjumper was frustrating.
    Target finally cancelled my preorder today.

    I doesn’t seem like Hasbro Pulse has them in stock either.
    What’s up with these two figures?

    not the thread for it...but ss cliffjumper and blitzwing are on walmarts page right now. Although it is 50/50 shot you actually get the right figure.

    I woke up to a message notifying me that runabout had been shipped, so that’s something to keep an eye out for. Thrust did not ship yet, but I am not expecting it till Dec 7 or so anyways so it may take a bit to ship.

    Somewhat humorous but also a sad commentary on Fandom.

    I used popfindr to look up the DPCI and there's a request to "stop being rude to employees".

    Count me in on the "Runabout shipped" club - for one of my orders. (I ended up ordering 3 times, 2 of them as backups for my friend and myself because well, lesson learned this year. No updates on those two backups.)

    Nothing on Thrust yet either.

    EDIT: 2nd Runabout shipped now.

    Just got an order shipment notification for Runabout.

    Nothing regarding Thurst like others are reporting.
