    Did anyone suddenly get an e-mail from Walmart saying they needed to update the credit card for the remainder of the order? Because they asked me because the "expiration date had passed", even though it's nearly a year away, or they'd cancel the remainder within three days...

    ??? Bluestreak isn't a Selects figure, it's a Walmart exclusive.

    I would suggest just logging directly onto your Walmart account, instead of clicking any links in that email. Or call their customer service line directly.

    Although I understand your wariness (and why), the e-mail already had all my necessary information in it, including my order number and e-mail address. I didn't even have to enter any credit card information, I just picked the other one I had on file at Walmart.com and changed it for the order (which had the same "You must change the credit card used just because" message when I went to their site). No credit card info was entered.

    Okay, that's a relief. I'm assuming that means they are gonna restock eventually as they have with the G1 reissues.

    For what it's worth, I just reached out to Walmart's customer service to check the status on my Bluestreak, anime Optimus, and anime Megatron (all of which are marked "preparing order"). Here's what they said:
    • Anime Op and Megs (which I preordered 7/21) have a new release date of 11/1 and will ship then
    • Bluestreak (which I ordered 10/1) is out of stock online, but because I ordered during the brief window when it was still available, my order is still good and will ship as soon as they have the inventory - current ship date estimate is tomorrow
    So, fingers crossed, these are still on the way. Hope this helps to reassure others in the same boat.

    Yeah, I somehow doubt that I'll be picking this up today, Walmart.

    They’re either buying them from Walmart.com or from Hasbro Asia. Either way, they have to make them up in order to make a profit.

    If it means there's a chance Streak will ship before people's orders are canceled then I'm crossing everything I've got. Thanks for the heads up.

    I snagged one this morning. My hopes of it dropping back to $30 are dashed and like you I wanted to stop checking every morning.

    I wonder why they increased the price to $40? Pretty shady on Walmart's part
