This is why I hate Store Exclusives.

Hasbro’s recent trend of making EVERYTHING exclusive is going to be what kills collecting for a lot of us. Between Star Wars, Transformers, and Power Rangers the stress to simply buy something is ridiculous. I’ve literally stopped trying at this point. I don’t know if it’s just 2020 finally getting to me but I think I stopped caring. If I wander into Walmart and find something new (or EB or TRU), then I’ll certainly buy, but... I just can’t. I finally understand that expression. I just can’t.

Also, has anyone gotten any emails from EB Games about tomorrow's releases being shipped yet. From my experience, I got a shipping email the day before my Shadow Trooper was released.

Just got my pre-order Black Series AOTC Anakin and Obi-Wan from Northmen Toys.

Obi-wan was one I was waiting for, and I'm a little sad about it. The paint on the eyes makes the figure look a little off.

They apparently aren't store exclusives. Walmart got the rights to an initial release then they should see a mass release... Or that's what I've read.

So nobody got any notice from EB Games about the next wave being shipped?

I seriously doubt they will be in stock online or in store tomorrow, highly doubt.

That's what was being rumoured when they were first announced for Walmart in the US, but then it was clarified that it was indeed just a WM exclusive. I'm still hoping that's not the case, but who knows at this point? Hasbro's PR to collectors is basically non-existent.

The PREORDER button is gone on all the new figures, looks like it’s available.

It does say Add to Cart now for all. Still have not received a shipping notice. I guess we will have to wait and see. If in fact it works, I may order some more. Also, not sure if it means other stores will get them at this time.
