Walked into Target this morning, there were multiples of everyone from this wave. I got Luger, and looked for Chase Luger so I could switch boots but there was no Chase. Also considered XPac as a stand in for Syxx but passed.

Hats off to Mattel for making one of their most in-demand lines such a breeze to find for the majority of collectors. I love seeing multiples of an entire line at every Target I go to. And the entire assortment is usually available to ship on Target for a pretty long time, too.

Unfortunately didn't get an answer Target is doing something right, while others are falling behind. This line been the most consistent out of ANY line including the main line as that seems to skip every other one.

This line been the most consistent out of ANY line including the main line as that seems to skip every other one. Its the fact that each character gets its own case. It makes it way easier for each store to handle inventory and for distribution centers to evenly distribute the sets. Imagine if these were assortment sets. Each store initially gets 2 cases -- Kane, X-Pac and Luger sell from each case and now you're stuck with 4-8 Stacey's on the shelf. That store isn't ordering anymore of that set because their inventory says the set began moving slowly. Also, since its assorted, they are clearancing out figures that don't need to be clearanced. Now they can keep hot figures like Kane at full price while marking down cold figures like Stacey, without taking a loss on figures that are selling well. Its all about managing inventory and solid cases of each figure is just making it so much easier to order and manage this line at individual stores.

Oh I know, I had this extensive argument of sorts for no reason why this model of single cases rather than assortment is better. But that may be partial reason , but they are still seemingly getting stuff off their tankers while delays everywhere else.

All 4 have shipped in the last 24 hours. None together, so I should have quite a few Target boxes next Thursday.

Target coming through in a big way with the preorder deliveries today. I was hoping for just one chase Lex, never thought I would get 2. So glad I don't have to hunt one down. Speaking of hunting something down....Chase Lex being chased by a T-Rex.

Somebody hid a chase Luger and clearanced DX Chyna in a stockpile near the Funko section and I found it, and subsequently bought them both. Stop hiding toys!!!

Chase Luger is going to zen411.

Targets near me have been bare save for a new Ultimate Hogan. Going to be moving to a location without a Target nearby so it will be the website pre-orders and orders for me for awhile.

Anybody know when preorders from spam will start shipping?? β¦. Their listings says June/July β¦. I ordered Kane & Lex back in April, itβs almost August & no shipping notifications even though theyβre now in stores & people who preordered from Target have already received them
