Walmart link (https://www.walmart.com/ip/SW-MAN-VIN-HUCK2-BUILD-UP-PK/739125148) Pre-order goes live later today.

Do we have a time?
It's now a dead link.

Supposed to be 4pm ET for today's pre-orders according to StarWars.com but it could be earlier or later in reality.
-
The links currently dead. This is going to be frustrating!

They probably had to pull it down to update the text/pictures since as of a little bit ago it was still saying "SW MAN VIN HUCK2 BUILD UP PK" as the name.
-
Already sold out.
-
Spend 10 minutes ordering Retro at Pulse... miss this one.
Bleh.
-
Yeah....this is going to be a pain in the ass to get.
-
I haven't found any fan site with people stating they had a successful order for this today. No one is even saying they had this in a cart today.
-
There isn't even an option to be notified when it's in stock. Walmart is the absolute worst with these!

No one is worse than Target IMO. At least Walmart is likely to reopen preorders at some point. Target never does that.
-
I got an order in when it went live last week. Like most of my Walmart pre-orders, I expect it will be cancelled, though.
-
It's strange, sometimes when I refresh the page, it shows "SW MAN VIN HUCK2 BUILD UP PK" and sometimes it shows "Star Wars The Vintage Collection Din Djarin (The Mandalorian) and The Child Toys, 3.75-inch-Scale Figures, Only at Walmart." I have a feeling these haven't even gone up yet. There are no eBay listings for it, which is usually a dead giveaway.

Weird as I have an order for two with email confirmation.

Ah, I stand corrected then! ;D

Did you score it today or previously?
-
What's odd about all of this is that the two-pack isn't coming up on any search I do an Walmart.com.
Also, the link provided here keeps toggling the out of stock notice. At no time has there been an add to cart or notify me when available button.

This set accidentally went up for pre-order late Friday 10/23 and Saturday 10/24 for a bit. It is entirely possible that a large number of the allotted sets were sold that day or possibly even all of the pre-order allotment?
I haven't heard from anyone who got an order in today but I do know of quite a few folks (myself included) who got a pre-order off that link last Friday/Saturday (I got an email confirmation for my two set pre-order on Friday 10/23).
-
This just went live!!!!!
-
Yeah, I was just able to order 3x sets @ $17.68 each.
-
Still available. I just ordered 2 of them for myself.
-
Just ordered one... it said it was sold out when I went to my cart, but still let me check out, so that'll be interesting.
-
Very glad that I didn't miss out on the initial offering and relieved I don't have to track it down later.
Today was an expensive day.

6 days ago, though the price was $24.99 compared to what it is now.
-
I ordered mine Friday, but cancelled and reordered yesterday at the lower price.

I'm keeping both preorders for now. A local friend of mine got a price adjustment (I haven't yet), so I'm waiting to see what happens there. Usually Walmart usually cancels my preorders so I hope 1 gets through. If both come, I'll return one of the orders (the more expensive one if the price doesn't get adjusted).
-
I got price adjustments from Walmart on the exclusive Clone Wars Black Series wave. So it might be likely that they would do that with this set also.
-
Even at $17.98 or whatever, my total was like $26 with tax and shipping.

That shipping cost is part of the reason why I decided to order 2 of these. It got the order total over $35 which is Walmart’s threshold for free shipping. Plus I’ve been starting to keep select TVC figures carded.
-
Same. That and because I hate it when pieces are lost after
I my nephew plays with my toys.
-
Same reasoning on two with the shipping
-
Yeah, I don’t keep anything in the packaging and going to Walmart to return one is a pain in the ass for me that’s not worth the $6 or $7 I’d have saved.
-
Looks like this picture from Yak_Face Twitter (https://twitter.com/yak_face/status/1323021905713123328) is confirmation that the Walmart TVC Din Djarin is not a "removable helmet version of Beskar Mando figure" but rather "dirty deco Beskar Mando figure with a separate swappable Din Djarin head".
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ElxRaCuXYAIyJB5.jpg)
-
That is a nice action figure.
-
Yeah, I'm really looking forward to that one.
-
This looks awesome. I saw an in-hand video review by Bossk’s Bounty (https://youtu.be/fI__CnsTm4g) of this figure. The details are fantastic in the kamtono alone. The beskar ingots are a great accessory, and the way the helmet and head are interchangeable is pretty cool.
What I’m beginning to notice is that the various versions of Mando in the beskar armor is that they each offer something slightly different. This version looks like the battle damaged appearance from the final episode of season one. The single carded version looks like the armor in a clean form. Both of those seem to have the Mudhorn signet. And the version with the Razor Crest has a soft goods cape. But the funny thing is that people don’t seem to be griping about multiple versions of the same character. I guess when there’s enough of a drought of figures you can look at things a little bit differently.
-
Got one of these in-hand today (thanks, Hasbro PR team!). Won't get a chance to open it up until later (might not open this copy as it's a potential error card - both this figure and the TVC Incinerator Trooper say VC177 on the cardback). Took a few pics to try and show off the TVC The Child with a comparison to the Black Series 6" sculpt -

Can you just take a series of Baby Yoda posed next to various items for scale? Not that I think he's ******* adorable or anything. It's...for my wife...yeah. And my kids. Yeah, that's it.

If you have the Black Series version of the Child, the one in this two-pack is slightly smaller. Bossk's Bounty on YouTube did a comparison.
-
They really struggle with Pedro's face. The TBS looks like Noel Fielding and this one kind of looks like Nathan Fillion.

-
You’re free to send them my way Jeff! I’ll make sure and tear them apart in a scathing review. 👀 😬
Those look awesome... everything about that set just rocks. I’d be down for more “deluxe” stuff like that.
-
So...is everyone else's Walmart order "delayed" on this one?
-
My incinerator troopers are delayed until January.....nothing on these yet.
I take that back.....went into Walmart.com and noticed that these are also delayed.
-
Got an email today that one of my orders for this figure was canceled. >:(
And it was my oldest preorder too.
-
Mine just got cancelled too. ???
I'm hoping this is the usual Walmart mess and I'll get a shipping notice in six hours for this item.
Have any of these made it to retail yet?
-
I got the cancellation email, too. At first it was just for one of them, which left me hopeful that maybe they would fulfill the other. Wrong. Four minutes later I got another email from Walmart cancelling the second order.
-
Weird. I got two email cancellations that 1 of my 2 figures from separate preorders was cancelled. Maybe they're limiting preorders to 1 to satisfy more customers?
So, I had two preorders (one Friday for 2x $24.99 and then another on Monday with the 2x $17.68), so why cancel half of each order (I guess better than cancelling a person's order for 1x)? I'll likely be paying 2 separate shipping costs when I ordered 2 to avoid that. And they still haven't adjusted the price on the first preorder.
-
I had ordered 2 and got a cancellation as well. **** Walmart.
-
I only ordered one and had my pre-order cancelled.
-
Mine is cancelled as well.
Who wants to chip in to charter an exploratory submarine to look for them amongst those lost containers on the bottom of the Pacific?
Conjecture: when Hasbro realized the shipment was lost and they would have to rerun the figures at the factory, they decided to toss in the "enamel pin" addition to cover-up the fact that things went awry. We will see these for sale on WalMart.com again in August.
-
I had two on preorder as well, and got the cancellation notice too. Honestly I’d be fine with just one, sometimes I order two just to increase the chances of actually getting something that isn’t destroyed from WM.com. This sort of thing is becoming all too common these days (and not just with Star Wars), what is the point of having preorders for things if they are always going to be cancelled? Largest retailer in the world and they can’t figure out how to get this right.
-
I ordered two for similar reasons - condition was one, and the other was the shipping. Ordering two got me to the free shipping threshold. But that's irrelevant now.
-
This is the one we're talking about here right? If so, mine isn't canceled - yet...

In some parts of the world yes, but not in the USA yet.
-
I ordered 2 when I placed my order. WM cancelled one of them.
-

What day did you order? I ordered two on Oct 26th as soon as they became available. They cancelled both of mine. Seems to be no rhyme or reason.
-
I ordered 2 on 10/26. One was cancelled and I'm semi-expecting the other will also considering others had both go bye-bye.
Really strange.
Hope these are offered again so everyone gets another shot.
-
As pissed as all of the rest of you are.
This sucks.
-
I woke up at 4:40 am ET and miraculously this is back in stock. So I re-ordered, and it gave me an estimated delivery date of Thursday. I'll believe it when I have tracking information.
-
Thanks for pointing that out Nick. I was able to reorder just now as well, mine say they will ship tomorrow. Taking it with a huge grain of salt, but they know I'll dance to whatever tune they are playing.
-
Out of stock.
-
Not surprised. They came back in stock during the overnight hours. I saw some people in a TVC Facebook group talking about how they were going to buy 6 or more. REALLY?!?!?!
-
I was able to order two through another link: https://www.walmart.com/product/739125148 (https://www.walmart.com/product/739125148) (insurance policy)
-
My order for just one never got canceled, but I went ahead and ordered one more right now because Walmart is so hit or miss. Hopefully I get a shipping confirmation for one and can cancel the other before I pay an extra $6 for shipping.
-
Thanks Steve! I'm 37% confident I'll get one now.
-
Thanks Steve. I placed another order too (my first got cancelled). Hopefully this one sticks. It says it'll be here next week.
-

Your overconfidence is your weakness. ;)
Hopefully everyone gets their orders.
-
I got a tracking number, so that's promising. But I'm not holding my breath.
-
I got a tracking number too. Supposed to be here on Friday. If I open up the box and there's just two baby Yoda pins and nothing else, I'm going to full ape****.
-
My new tracking says it shipped this morning and will be here tomorrow afternoon, but it is some shipping company I have never heard of before so who really knows?
-

Got a shipping notice already with delivery on Monday. I’m glad I’ve got this crew to point me in the right direction to keep from going in to a Walmart induced rage.
-
I received tracking information for my orders. They should arrive sometime between December 17th and Jan 14th.
-
Got two tracking orders for 3 figures. In one email about it, they said that it was a partial shipment (They supposedly cancelled the other part), so now I'm wondering if I'm going to end up with the "cancelled" figure, too. Wouldn't that be something.
-
What the heck is Ontrac? Walmart start it's own shipping company?
-
I've got a FedEx tracking number. Both of my figures are in the same shipment. I have an origination scan, but haven't seen any details beyond that and an ESTIMATED delivery date. Usually you see something beyond that in the FedEx app.
-
I ordered four of these in two different orders. I have four different tracking numbers with four different points of origin, but all of them should be here tomorrow.
So far this is the most 2021 thing to happen this year!
-
Just received my figure (1 was cancelled). It came in a box too small for it, so as always beware if you are a carded collector. Also it didn’t come with that pin, was that supposed to be included with the original orders?
Haven’t opened it yet, but Mando has some unique weathering and his right leg armor is now Beskar. Grogu looks so tiny and cute.
-
This is so bizarre and stupid... my orders from back in October when this item went up for presale were cancelled.
When the item went back up for availability and I noticed that you could order more than two (and based on my bad experience with the Ahsoka TBS wave), I made an order for three of them and flagged the order as a gift order.
My gift order was maintained and WalMart shipped the three figures in three separate shipments - I'm not sure why. One of them was shipped in a box that was too small for the figure. The other two were individually shipped in boxes that were big enough that could have accommodated three figures each, so it's really silly that they were shipped individually instead of in a single box.
And now, as I write this post, I get alerts that ALL of my Incinerator Trooper pre-orders from back from September have been cancelled. >:(
-
My replacement order (placed yesterday 8am) did indeed show up today at 3pm.
It's a good sized box, but I'm waiting until this evening to open it up (so I can do an "unboxing video" for Instagram ::) )
-
This is so bizarre and stupid...
Agree 100%. I still don't understand why they took the time to cancel all the pre-orders only to turn right around and start fulfilling brand new orders? What the hell sense does that make? ???
-
My orders have another wrinkle...
My single-figure pre-order was NOT canceled.
But expecting that it would be I ordered one when they were available again... that one has shipped, but my original order has not.
Walmart is clueless when it comes to this kind of stuff.
-

You expect Walmart to make sense???
I’m encouraged that I got an update in the tracking information. But I’m still not happy with Walmart. Especially with the situation that arose with the Incinerator Trooper within the past couple of days.
-
I just received 2 of my orders. The one I recently place of 2 figures was put in a bubble mailer (crushed bubbles). The one that was from that Friday with the $24.99 tag came in a nice box, perfect condition. Neither order had pins, though. SMH.
-
I just got one of mine a minute ago too... There wasn't any pin, so I'm assuming it's my original order.
-

Mine was from when they "restocked" them the other day, so it should have had pins.

So amazed by this cluster****.
Steve, you should email CS and tell them you didn't get the pin and see what happens. Maybe you can at least get some money back or something?
-
I got mine today. I didn't see the pins, either. But I'm just glad that the damned things showed up.
We've been through this how many times with Walmart? And just when you think that online retail, web apps and inventory tracking tools might have made dealing with them easier, they find an all new way to **** it up.

Yeah, I contacted them about it and they offered a partial refund on the two figures, which I took. The other one that I ordered from October didn't have the "bundle" label on it so I didn't bother. And since it's $24.99, I'm just going to return it.
-
I read somewhere, might have been the Vintage Collector Group on Facebook, might have been a post over on JTA - sorry, I can't recall - anyway, this one guy contacted them complaining about the pin AND the fact that it arrived crushed in a mailer bag and he got the whole amount of the order refunded.
Like Nick - I'm just happy mine arrived and I didn't care about the pin one bit. Like I said to one of my other collector friends - I was slightly worried that they might take the pin and actually PIN IT to the cardback which would have made me a million times more frustrated/angry - so there are scenarios that could have been MUCH worse.
The two of these that arrived today which brings my total to five were shipped in a mailer bag, which completely negates the effectiveness of flagging an order as being a gift as this order was flagged as a gift. They were completely crushed, but I'm okay with that as I wanted some to open anyway.
Glad to finally be "done" with this item.
Now on to the headache of the Incinerator Trooper... *sigh*
-
Mine showed up today.
Did a quick review if interested. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVpC0VsSA_Y)
-
I got my 2nd order of this set and it did not come with a pin either. Having read that others had some success with Walmart support, I gave them a try. They wound up giving me a 10% discount which covers tax for me. Since I don't need the pin, the discount is a good substitute
-
I had one of these from my original order of 2 cancelled. Not even sure if its shipped yet, so I Won't hold my breath for the pin. Hating exclusives more than ever.
-
Got mine delivered today. No pin. It was crunched in a box too small, but had bubble wrap to make sure it wasn't crushed more than when the packer put it in the box ::) I'm an opener so it doesn't matter too much.
Glad I got this one. Still trying to land a Incinerator Trooper after they cancelled my original order.
-
Someone at WM said how can we make ourselves look even more incompetent with these than cancelling month old pre orders to then relist hours later? I know! Offer a free pin now but don't actually ship it! Raises all around!
-
Still trying to land a Incinerator Trooper after they cancelled my original order.
My order has been processing for about a week now. I'm expecting them to cancel it at some point.
-
I ordered 2 when I placed my order. WM cancelled one of them.
What day did you order? I ordered two on Oct 26th as soon as they became available. They cancelled both of mine. Seems to be no rhyme or reason.
Just saw this, apologies. The day they became available.
-
So, I'm unclear... is this pack ever supposed to ship to Walmart stores? If it is coming to stores it is so far untrackable on brickseek.
-
Little late here, but like others I had my order cancelled. Had two on preorder, got them both cancelled. Missed the second round of them as well. It has gotten to the point where it maybe is just less stressful to pay the secondary markup on these WalMart exclusives.
-

Originally, yes... but now your guess is as good as mine at this point. With all the "they got lost at sea" or "Walmart ****** up their Hasbro order" rumors going on around these, it might be a while before they hit stores (if ever).
(in other words, no one can buy them now but some BFE Walmart in the sticks is going to put out twenty cases of these on clearance for $5 each in like June)
-

I caved and bought the Incinerator Trooper on eBay for a stupid amount. As hard as it was to get The Mandalorian, the Incinerator Trooper seems even more messed up.
Like Jeff said, they'll probably never show up at normal retail and then all be on clearance in a few months in rural Wyoming.
-
I got two of these. And I really attribute it to luck and my awful schedule. Placing an order before 5 AM was how I wound up getting my two. I hope other people are able to get this set, too.
The figures are fantastic! Grogu is tiny beyond belief. But it's an excellent likeness of the Mandalorian. The deco of the figure as well as the head sculpt are kind of specific to the final episode of season 1. But that's not anything approaching a deal breaker with this figure. I'd like to see Mando get some softgoods, though.
I think it's detrimental to the Hasbro Star Wars brand to have these limited to Walmart since these are the two most significant characters in the hottest Star Wars property at this time. And the mishandling of the release, whether it was Walmart or Hasbro's fault hurts the line as a whole. I was reminded while watching a livestream from Bossk's Bounty about how the TVC Rey - Island Journey figure was originally slated to be a Walmart exclusive. That got screwed up, too! And it wound up eventually being released as a Fan Channel release. Hasbro needs to handle these mistakes by making things good like that. If things go pear-shaped with a release there has to be a contingency for getting product to customers.
-
I've got an extra of these if anyone's looking. The card and bubble look pretty solid to me. It's on eBay but I can de-list. I'm just trying to get it to a new home... PM me if you're stuck and need one.
-
I’ll take it Sorry, I thought you meant the incinerator.
-
Sorry nope...Mando and Child.
I'm looking for a few more of the troopers.
-
How much?
-
Brian's already messaged me about it, but I'll let you know if he ends up not taking it.
-
Just got an email from Walmart apologizing for not including a The Child pin in my order as advertised. They are emailing a $10 gift card as a result.
So between no pin on this order and a cancelled order for my Incinerator Trooper I've received $20 in gift cards that I can use for a future Star Wars exclusive that they'll botch. ;D
-
Just got the same email. Honestly I’d completely forgotten about the pin.
-

I'm just happy I actually got the figure, unlike the Incinerator Trooper.

Same here. I wonder if there was some pressure put on corporate with all the complaints they received from customers... plus I'm going to assume Hasbro, too, since they mentioned issues during their Friday reveal show.
-
Well, my Grogu lost an arm with only very mild pressure. The joint was clearly stuck and I massaged it every so slightly.
Sigh...
-
Grogu is super delicate! I had an arm come off of mine, but I was able to get it back on easily enough.
-
They should pop right back in....they are very small ball joints.
-
Anyone know if they are making more of these? My order was cancelled
-
Anyone know if they are making more of these?
I don't think anyone knows.
This is the same company that sent emails saying "sorry we're never getting more Incinerator Troopers" only to turn around and list it for sale again within days. If Walmart itself doesn't know what it's doing, then we have little hope of knowing either.

;D ;D ;D
-
And the price is up a couple bucks on them now, too(out of stock still)... without the pin.
I have an extra that I figured if I'd keep it or return it. I preordered it when it was listed at $24.99 and they never adjusted the price. I have yet to contact them and maybe it'd be too much of a hassle that I might just return it.
-
Need to vent on this for a moment. I ordered two of these at the $24.99 price. I cancelled that order when they dropped to $17.68 and ordered two at the lower price plus the free pins. Fast forward several months and one of the items is cancelled from my order, but not the other. I just recently discovered that the order was still active and one of the 2-packs is still pending. So I reached out to Walmart today to inquire. This was their response:
"I have carefully gone through our records and have determined that your item did not process correctly. (No ****) At this time the order is stuck in the processing state. In this type of scenario the best option is to send a request. Once the request is submitted the fulfillment center will notice it (hopefully) and sometimes this request makes the order to be shipped or can be cancelled. If the order is cancelled you will be notified and can absolutely place the order again. (Apparently you are not notified if the order is not cancelled?)"
ME: Yeah, but the item is pretty much sold out. I do see them selling on your site, but now they're selling for $34.99. Wow, that feels familiar...
"In this moment the item is only being sold by a third party vendor, not by Walmart. That is why the price is higher."
So, preordered six months ago, one item is cancelled for no reason, one item is in limbo and likely not available now, so I will get nothing - no figure or the $10 coupon for people that didn't get the pin because I never got the figure in the first place AND I could buy the figure from your own damn site if I want to pay $35 for it now. I get that mistakes happen and I get that they can't control third party pricing, but this has to be the absolute worst order handling and customer service response I have ever encountered. They should be giving me a $35 credit to go buy the two figures from their third party vendor or maybe $55 since I didn't get the pin like everyone else.
I got an email immediately following saying my order was cancelled.
I HATE WALMART.
*UPDATE*
I just bought 2 of these on Ebay for $45 shipped to be done with it.
-
It's just astounding that stores in the middle of nowhere got tons of these and are already putting them on clearance for $10 when the rest of the country has to fight over them, more or less. :(
-
I just bought 2 of these on Ebay for $45 shipped to be done with it.
These showed in minty shape with tons of extra packaging. Ebay for the win!

Interested now here
