It is available for pre-order at ToySnowman.com, as well as other online figure retailers in Canada. And just because it's not available online at GameStop, doesn't mean it's actually sold out in stores. Check your local GameStop, or ask them to see if any other stores in your area have it in stock. They can even transfer it between stores, though that's up to the store staff to decide. Some will do it happily, while others will say they aren't allowed to. |
Thanks for the info.
Are all Fan Channel exclusives (not to be confused with Hasbro Pulse exclusives like the Hellfire Club or Excalibur box sets) normally not available at big box stores or Amazon? Or does that only apply to those which Hasbro specifically states will be exclusive to certain online retailers (e.g. the X-Force 3-pack was only on Hasbro Pulse and ShopDisney)?
I remember the Firestar, Black Cat, J. Jonah Jameson, She-Hulk, gray Beast and Hydra Supreme/Arnim Zola 2-pack were sold at Toys R Us, while the deluxe Archangel, deluxe Apocalypse (Age of Apocalypse) and Storm in black costume were readily available directly from Amazon as well.
Although these websites need to be updated, I'm just going by the information I found on this one:

and this one:

Also, the two X-Men 3-packs, the Outback Rogue, and the 5 pack of X-Men characters (Stryfe, Vertigo, Pretty Boy, Random and Zero) which are all Fan Channel exclusives are available for pre-order on Amazon. It's a little weird why Blob wouldn't be available as well...although the CMDStore listing in the Amazon marketplace section does indicate it's "new to Amazon"...which might suggest that Amazon hasn't gotten it yet, much like other online retailers like Toy Snowman and Big Bad Toy Store? I don't know.
I'm definitely going to check some of the other GameStop stores to see if they have Blob, but if it ends up eventually being available on Amazon as well, that would be nice, especially since the price may go down over time.
