    These will be as plentiful as the Ectobot. I'm waiting for a Gamestop or Target coupon.

    Managed to order one from Pulse this morning. Just happened to check the website.

    True.

    And I'd contend that what Super 7 does and what Hasbro does for a Transformer... not remotely the same thing, nor as easy to turn around as quickly.

    I'm not one of the folks who's complained about that (say what you will about any other comments I've made), but I do confess, seeing some of the promo pictures where they did some kind of Photoshop magic to make it LOOK like he's done in DeLorean-accurate brushed steel, it is a bit disappointing that the actual toy won't look like that.

    I'll deal, but it would have been nice....

    Why is the one on Amazon $50?

    Amazon loves jacking prices up these past few years. It's usually an algorithm thing, but this must have been intentional.

    Either way, not good.

    I sincerely doubt the Amazon price stands. But I guess time will tell. If they charge me 50 and send it to me, I'll be sending it right back for free. Win / win.

    I rarely shop Walmart.com, what's the trepidation regarding ordering from them?

    They loooooove delaying preorders two weeks past the promised ship date, and then canceling them. And if they do ship, the product is usually pretty thrashed by the time it arrives. Walmart is a distant fourth choice out of the Big Four.

    Yikes! I'll place an Amazon order as well and hope the price drops or be prepared to fight for a partial refund.

    Thanks for the quick answer.

    Since you brought it up a few days ago, I ordered a second one. Not sure if I want to hold on to it like with Rotorstorm or if I'm going to sell it, but it does seem to be a chase piece.

    Hmm... I’ve not had any major issues with Walmart. I have had delivery dates pushed back, but I always thought those were manufacturing delays since that seems to be fairly common.

    I'm so excited for Gigawatt I preordered two of them.

    I almost never buy duplicate figures.

    amazon is overpriced and walmart and gamestop are sold out though

    the fact that Target, of the four, is still taking orders at basic retail is the irony given how their own exclusives have been a debacle for most of the year
