2025 Kenner Retro Collection ANH Wave

Yeah feel like Target has done this once or twice before if I remember right, it's not like Amazon where they just delay the ship date indefinitely.  It doesn't necessarily mean that it's not coming or will be impossible to find.

Welp, that sucks. Mine got canceled too. I don’t get the timing because according to Jayson these aren’t even in the US yet. Why not let the preorders stand and see what happens?

This is all very stupid and annoying. 

[Rob]

I suspect Target had policies about how long they will keep preorders for.  Especially in an environment where the import cost is going to be significantly higher.

Either the US was way ahead, or Target screwed up the date by several months.  The UK date is July.  I bet they just raise the price and blame it on tariffs.

The on-line insanity has started with claims of sittings in CA and the ability to order the set for pick-up.  I think these are all bs rumors at this point.

Over on Rebelscum, a guy from Los Angeles (with a pretty clean reputation) has posted pictures in his car with the box, then later at home with the figures unboxed but still carded.

They're out there...we'll see how far across the country they make it!

Looks like the Target page has finally allowed the "look up in stores" portion for the set.  Of course showing up as out of stock everywhere.  Just another reason Target should never be allowed to have exclusives.

I don't understand how this is something Target did. Maybe it is or maybe it's Hasbro or maybe it's tariffs or maybe it's "x".

Saw a post on facebook that someone ordered this off the webpage early this morning (4 or 5 AM).  It's not in stock at the moment, but we'll see.

[Muftak]

I can confirm it showed on the website as available to ship this morning around 4am EDT. I had it in my cart but got error messages on check out 3 times in a row. Then it reverted to being unavailable again before I could successfully complete the transaction.

[EdSolo]

Anyone have any luck yet?  It seems like 1 set will pop up at 2 am and also seems to mostly on the west coast.  I see zero available in a 50 mile radius of my address.  I would really love to hear the rationale about cancelling everyone's orders.

As I posted this, I went to target.com.  It showed as in stock.  Hit add 2 and then get the no longer available.  Close the browser and go back.  Now down to can only add one.  Was already signed in, but still asked for my password again at checkout.  Got to the order now button, and said no longer available.  Now back to unavailable when I reopen the browser.  It is absolutely insane they program their carts as to have items disappear in the middle of check out instead of holding it until you complete the checkout process.

I haven’t had any luck.  I check it whenever it crosses my mind and haven’t seen any options to buy yet.  I’m not chasing this to that level.  I’m assuming that they produced them in numbers that will make them available… hopefully. 

[GrandMoffNick]

I've lost track of how many times I've had it in cart now and then gone

[Rob]

Do you live out west?  I’m wondering how far into the US these have gotten so far…

[GrandMoffNick]

I'm in Minnesota. I have not seen any store pick up options yet.
