I’m sure it will go live at 2am….

[Dave]

It just went live.  I used the Yakface link.

Well, I was only off by 12 hours. 

Not sure if this will be like the last one that was easy to find in store or the one with Mon Mothma I never saw anywhere.  Better safe than sorry I guess. I got one. 

[Rob]

Thanks Jeff. 

And yeah I ordered one… OT with all new figures, better safe than sorry.

[EdSolo]

Still available.  Just got my order in.  Almost forgot about it.

The ROTJ pack with Mon Mothma was a Pulse/Disney exclusive, so unless you went to one of the parks your only option was online for that.

I preordered this one just to be on the safe side...and I will buy extras if they show up in stores.

I don’t recall what the original ship date was but I got an email saying this is delayed to May 13.

It was 4/27.  This item was supposed to be on a "May the 4th" endcap along with a bunch of other stuff (BS6" Range Trooper, BS6" Jedha Stormtrooper, Epic Hero X-Wing/Luke).  I was at a Target last night that had the endcap set up and had a shelf tag for this, but the shelf was empty.

[McMetal]

I got that too, I believe the official release date was last week sometime?

[EdSolo]

My order just got cancelled for "technical issues with the vendor" after I approved a delay a few days ago.  Listed out of stock on Target.   HASBRO, STOP THE DAMN TARGET EXCLUSIVES.  THE COMPANY IS INCOMPETENT AT STOCKING STUFF.

Same.

I bet they repost at a higher price point.

[EdSolo]

I can't even find a free site that lets you check for inventory by DPCI anymore.

[Rob]

Got the same email.  Disappointing.

[Jeff]

I bet they repost at a higher price point.

Hard to say if this is tariff related (this is a Vietnam item, not China) or if it's some other kind of issue.  Could be an unavoidable delay on Hasbro's side of things (this item was supposed to be here for Target's 4/27 May the 4th endcap set-up).  Maybe the delay was too long for Target to hold the existing pre-orders? 

I guess we wait and see if it eventually comes back to Target or maybe it ends up at Pulse instead (or maybe even Ollie's).
