Walmart 2023 TVC TCW ARC Commanders - Havoc/Colt/Blitz

[McMetal]

I hope you guys have better luck than I did…mine arrived today in the standard Walmart bubble mailer and was all busted up to hell. The bubble was literally falling off the card it was so smashed up. Totally unsalvageable for a MOC collector like myself.

So my credit card got compromised last week and I just got the new one... I'm updating all these pre-orders now and I just got to Walmart, where I have Colt and Blitz pre-orders.

Turns out you can't update payment information on Walmart preorders... at least that's what they're telling me.  There's even an 'edit payment' button on the order page, but it doesn't work.

Customer service chat isn't getting me anywhere:  "Since the order was already placed, we no longer have the option to change the payment method for this one, Robert."

All of this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard and I just wanted to bitch about it..

I was able to place a new order for Colt and cancel the existing one, but Blitz is out of stock, so I guess I'm just stuck with no Blitz preorder now, since the existing one will be declined.

Maybe they'll let me update the payment when the charge fails later...

I ran into the same issue in something last year, with both Walmart & Target. It’s immensely frustrating. Sorry to hear that Rob. I just don’t get how companies of that size don’t allow that. Things like this are is part of why I never shop at Walmart outside of exclusive Star Wars purchases.

On topic with the ARC Troopers, I had originally skipped preorders for 2 out of 3 (FOMO got me on the 3rd) and wasn’t planning on buying any of them. I made an impromptu stop at Walmart last week (for maybe the first time in 6 months) and they happened to have 6 Havocs. FOMO got me again and now I just need to get either Colt or Blitz.

I had the same problem Rob, although through some magic Walmart still shipped my Havoc.   I guess they were able to work with my credit card company to tie my old card number to my new card number.  I'm hoping they can do that with my other two pre-orders.

I totally agree that it is madness in 2023 that Walmart won't let you update your payment information.

I had the same problem when I moved.  I ended up cancelling my orders and immediately trying to re-order them.  I managed to get most of my items re-ordered.

I was in Walmart and saw two Havocs on the pegs.  I decided pick up one.

[Nicklab]

I came across a peg full of Havocs and picked up another one.  If only for trade bait!

[McMetal]

He hasn’t hit the East Coast yet but I sure need one to replace the smashed up piece of crap they sent me through the mail…does Brickseek or Popfindr or any of that stuff work for him?

[Rob]

Blitz is available to preorder again if anyone was in a similar boat as me. 

So that’s one problem fixed… now if they ever actually ship these ARC’s…

[Dave]

now if they ever actually ship these ARC’s…

It is surprising considering they're so similar.  You would think they would have come out pretty close to each other.

[Rob]

Beats me.  Target is taking equally long on those three Fett variants.  Makes
Me wonder if it’s a Hasbro issue.

You would think that its a Hasbro issue. 

I'd expect all new figures to take longer, but you would think all these repaints/kitbashes could get cranked out quicker.

I did just get a text today and email today that my Colt's have shipped.

Nice.  I haven't got a notice but I checked the web site and mine have shipped and will be here Friday. 

Blitz still says mid-October.

[Mister Skeezler]

I got an email that my Entertainment Earth order had shipped and got excited (since there are so many preorders). Then I opened the email and saw it was Colt...I mean I guess it's fine, but honestly, I'm pretty sick of that Arc Trooper figure at this point, so it was truly underwhelming.
