    I guarantee there’s a bunch of people that reserved preorders at multiple places just to see who gets it first and because it was a hot item. They won’t be buying all of them. Those will become available when it releases, but they probably will get a price jump. It was available for a while with just a deposit before they started asking for full price.

    Agreed. I've just now started to get back on my feet financially and I thought maybe someone would have this figure up for PO still....nope! If someone can prove this statement false, then please do so.

    I would suggest not buying.

    It's a toy in the end.

    Just be patient. Once it comes in stock there will be a lot of cancellations. Just have to be quick.

    Every Fanstoys figure gets a second run eventually. Just sucks my preorder was cancelled because of Fanstoys “make it seem scarce” tactic. Sadly the second runs always have an inflated price.

    If your PO was cancelled, the retailer overpromised. For Thomas, retailers were allocated specific amounts.
