G.I. Joe Classified Series

Well this bites. I ordered online at 2:15am this morning for pick up. When I got there this morning after 8, they told me they had it in the back on a big pallet, but these would not be put out until later this week when they reset. I then looked at my order on my phone and noticed it was canceled at 8am and now the website is sold out. Ugh.

As expected, my pick-up order for Breaker was canceled so it was a good thing I also placed an order to ship. I already mentioned this in the ML Gamerverse thread, but I had Psylocke pulled from the backroom when the store opened. I didn't ask for Breaker because I feel asking for more than one item is somewhat pushy, that's just me. I really wanted Psylocke, Breaker, and the Great Muta (preorder on backorder).

I'm sure Breaker is in the backroom unless there's still hype for Target Joe exclusives. Carded R&R hasn't exactly flown off the pegs. I'm sure whoever was going to pick my order canceled, since he wasn't on the pegs and probably didn't have a storeroom location.
 
I went to just do an order pick up for Breaker but I wanted to use my store credit which Target bafflingly does not allow you to use for online purchases. So I will go back to the store to get Breaker.......wait, let me check the stock at my nearest store.........yeah, he's down from 6 last night to 5 an hour ago to "limited stock" right now. Maybe I won't go and pick him up. Nice.
 
My Breaker order hasn't been canceled yet... but I was planning to swing by and grab it on my way out of town this morning. Since I won't be back unti next Sunday, I am guessing even if they don't cancel today they will cancel when I can't pick it up timely. Sigh.
 
Store pickup is a crapshoot. I put in a store pickup at 2:30am for the closest Target which is a scalper/local collector hotspot and naturally they couldn't fill it. I don't know how they decide who gets first dibs, but you'd think 2:30am when it just went up at 2:15ish am would be pretty early in line. Thankfully I ordered one for delivery, and one for pickup this morning around 7am for the next closest Target which filled it no problem. All while the original pre-order still says "Backordered." Nice to see both Target and Walmart still suck at preorders. So excited for SDCC :(

EDIT: Ol' preordered Breaker from March "shipped".

Ordered Breaker for store pick up this morning (can't pick up til Monday, Bergen County Blue Laws), but it got canceled anyway. Glad I didn't cancel my original PO, as it has also moved to Preparing.
 
My Preorder quietly moved to "preparing to ship." I think it looks like Target got enough Breakers, but as usual, distribution across the country is a Jackson Pollock painting so how easy he will be to find is going to be a crapshoot.
 
Yep all my local stores went from Available to OOS in a couple hours, with my old preorder finally getting some movement. I imagine a lot of these will be returned and cancelled by those of us who buy dupes just in case Target messes up or QC is bad. Even just buying two, that only takes three customers to clear out a whole Target.

For a while it felt like this hobby was starting to become relaxing, but it's crazy again with resellers. Honestly, just such a silly hobby. Prices keep going up and they have no correlation to the worth of a figure, it's all supply vs demand. The same quality toy can go to Ross for $6 or sell on eBay for $90.
 
My Breaker preorder says preparing to ship currently.

I went out this morning to see if anything new was on the pegs. That was a wasted trip.
 
Just got shipping confirmation on Breaker. UPS should have him to me by next Monday 7/28. If I see in store, I’ll probably still buy in the meantime, and return the one en route.
 
Breaker disappeared QUICK from my area stores. I just went back to the store I was at last night that denied me at 9pm, all six were gone. I even checked guest services hoping that the one I left at self check out ended up there. Nope. I should have hid one of the six last night but I just didn't have my "grown man hides toys in the store" train of thought about me at the time. Oh well, Psylocke arrived today and that one was more of a priority. I think we'll get at least one more shot at Breaker at some point. Another bad job on those needlessly street dated items, Target.
