My Bret and Warrior got canceled as well today. Really pissed off as Bret was the crown jewel.

I mean I thought Amazon always did that with those preorders that were so far out. Always seems too good to be true that they’ll have e67 by when they say.

My Bret got cancelled, I'm sure Mattel will be thrilled about all these lost sales.

i think if they go up again and you order them I think you should still get the $5 off, I know it won’t happen though. I'm hopeful for this, but what makes you think that will happen? as I said in the quote I know it won’t but it would be really nice if they did instead of cheat everyone, the figures are over $30 $5 off wouldn’t hurt them.

Yet another reason as to why Im thinking about selling off my collection and being done.
I mean, if you can’t even rely on pre-orders anymore ... wtf 🤦🏼♂️
I’m not even mad about the few dollars savings either, it’s the principle of the whole thing.
Add that to all of the store exclusives, with people trying to flip those as an income instead of having a real job and the distribution being asinine at best ... it isn’t even really that enjoyable for me anymore.
Hell, the company that makes these over priced pieces of plastic can’t even tell you which is a chase variant, let alone let their distributors know ... I mean, just, damn !
All I know is that SDCC better wow me with 1st time in the line / Legends or I’m probably finished.

Not just WWE figures.
A lot of people are getting that same email for some Hasbro Star Wars items.

They never cancel preorders I think you misunderstood. Point being, dont offer a pre-order if you cant honor it. Secondly, why would I pay more just for the hell of it, when these will be retail price or even cheaper on a black Friday sale, that’s just speaking the truth. Bottom line, Amazon screwed up and that’s that, but you’d be a fool to just overpay for something to get it early for the sake of doing it.

Same for me - Warrior and Bret were canceled. They still have Shinsuke listed, but even Ronda was pulled, but my order wasn't canceled for her.

Personally I'd rather have the butterfly shoulder joint as I'm not crazy about the toe articulation.

Amazon can't sell what they don't have.
So if mattel does not send them the product there is not much amazon can do.

I didn't get the variant Sonya Devillie from Amazon unfortunately but the cards on the Deville and Mandy Rose I bought are nice. Got the 12 Inch Kane as well. Great figure for 10 bucks.

Amazon can't sell what they don't have. So if mattel does not send them the product there is not much amazon can do. That’s why they have preorders to know what they need to order. Why put preorders up if they aren’t going to get the product. This has happened with Amazon with many of the Toy lines they sell. They put up preorders months in advance then after two-three months they cancel them saying they aren’t going to be able to fill the preorders. Only to relist them a few weeks/months later when they actually get the correct shipping date.

It is why I never pre-order on Amazon, they have a bad habit of cancelling pre-orders all the time

The good news is you don’t get charged for sh*t until it ships.

Foooock .. any other options besides ringside inflated prices ? Not that I’m a RS apologist, but the higher price is for getting them overnighted from China. They’ll get the slow container across the sea in a month or two when everyone else gets them, and the price will drop to retail. But the whole higher price to cover shipping ahead of every other store is almost exclusive to them. And the few others that do the same charge extra as well. Thank you for answering a burning question for me on how they get these things months ahead of everybody else. Everything, especially the prices, makes more sense now. Sorry to all who got duped by these “preorders”, and thanks to whoever gave me the heads up a few months back on another thread that Amazon preorders are a losing game.
