    I can't provide solid stats, but I do read some discounted orders here canceled more than others. But probably people here who have used both types of orders can provide more stats.

    I've only used a discount once with Omega last year and he shipped fine.

    I ordered X-Spanse with the discount, and it shipped today.

    Uh. Yes, actually.

    He's right. I've seen far more people end up getting their orders delayed, then canceled, or outright canceled and they all had discounts in place. A friend of mine (who's a poster, here) had to call and get his orders reinstated and so on. (Some of that was due to his card info changing (expired) but the rest was discounts and canceled orders.)

    Some people absolutely do get their figures at the discounted rate, but Target much prefers to get full price (which is why these discounts are pointless unless you purchase in store where they can't really deny it) and somehow, magically, people end up either not getting their stuff or not getting their discount.

    I don't think I'll be getting mine at all, really. People have had theirs ship, mine hasn't even been prepared. If they do end up taking my discount, I certainly won't be paying full price for it and therefore will miss out on it. I refuse to pay full price for this one because it's just not worth the asking price. I skipped Maverick, I'll gladly skip this one if necessary.

    Hasn’t seemed to matter to me. I got all of my SS86 figures, all on discount. But cyclonus (not on discount) was delayed again and again until I just went with Amazon.

    yes it’s true that many of us who had their pre orders cancelled bought with a discount, but how many of us pre order from Target without a discount? I just think the data is skewed.

    When Thrust was shipping, I was able to verify that my copy that I ordered with a discount shipped before another user who ordered without a discount, despite that user placing the order before me. So no, there doesn't seem to be any evidence, just one of those theories we come up with when we're upset that our order got cancelled. Target isn't trying to screw over people who took advantage of their sale, they are just incompetent.

    I'm curious has anyone actually had it ship from Target or are we all under the "Label Created" stage?

    I cancelled my X-panse from Target with 25% discount coupon. I decided I didn't want any of the cross over toys. No room or space in my already large collection for them. So I also cancelled Gigawatt, Ectrotron, and Maverick preorders from Hasbropulse and BBTS too.

    Gigawatt is worth your dough. I pretty much agree with the rest, though.

    Gigawatt is the only one I stuck with and I’m glad I did, he’s pretty great. I still have a passing interest in Ectotron but not at his current price.

    Target finally cancelled my delayed Cyclonus. At least I got him from Amazon. Annoying though.

    My Optimus Primal was canceled this morning too. Guess I will continue placing safety preorders at multiple stores.

    Opposite for me.

    With the arrival of X-Panse, my passing interest for Top Gun Maverick on Pulse came at me hard! :eek: 

    I told my brain the savings from the 25% off on X-Panse is split evenly between Maverick and X-Panse... so Maverick is only $39 and X-Panse is $59. This I can live with. :D

    X-spanse showed up today instead of the designated tuesday it kept saying since being shipped. Will have to look at it later.
