2023 TVC Deluxe TM Darktrooper

For whatever it's worth, it let me place multiple orders.

Based on Target's recent history with pre-orders, I wonder what the likelihood of these pre-orders being cancelled is?  50%? 75%? 100%?

That's how every preorder should go.

They never canceled my duplicate Chewbacca pre-orders... the only times I ever saw that it happen, it happened instantaneously.

Sorry, I meant in general, not just your specific case.  Target hasn't had the best track record filling all pre-orders and if they are going to cancel orders, I'd guess they'd cancel the sale price ones over the regular price ones?  Maybe just me being too hard on Target...

[Rob]

Ah right.  That would be most uncool if it happened.   Between this and the prototypes being available longer, I’m wondering if Target hasn’t upped their orders for product.

Amazon is getting in on the action - the Dark Trooper is now listed for $19.86!  And existing preorders have been adjusted to reflect that price.

Sweet.  I’ve got a dozen preordered with each, and whoever doesn’t cancel them and ships first gets the business.  At $20 each, I’m down for twelve.

[Nicklab]

It's a lot easier to deal with these at $20 each, I agree.

Awesome, thanks for the heads-up Nick! I had ordered 5 at the original pricepoint with Amazon and it looks like all my preorders have been adjusted. At a mere $20 I'm down to up that total to at least a dozen (Using the JD affiliate link of course  )

[Nicklab]

I was definitely relieved to see that Amazon adjusted that price automatically!  Because OMG was there some serious sticker shock when these went up for preorder.  What was the original price?  $28?

[Mister Skeezler]

Well, that's me ordering another two to add to my preorder of six. I'm such a whore.

[Ryan]

I noticed my local Target has an empty peg set for these guys already on an endcap, (no figures in stock). I thought these weren’t due out until next year… Has anyone else seen this at Targets or seen these guys popping up yet?

[Rob]

I haven’t but I thought I saw a report about them showing up at ports or in systems as being out soon-ish.

[CorranHorn]

I too saw an empty peg with a price tag on the “collector friendly” end cap at my local Target. I scanned the price tag and it showed nothing in stock at that store or any others in the area. Hopefully though it means these are arriving soon so the online preorders can ship.

For a while my Target preorder for these has been a pending charge on my check card. it just fell off this week. Anybody else notice something similar?
