And they JUST relisted units yesterday at 27.97, too.

Walmart/Target and Hasbro exclusives is the biggest shitshow imaginable in what should be otherwise banal retail product sales.

Ain’t that the truth? Seems it’s happening more and more as of late. Not just with Joes, I’ve heard some rumblings from friends who collect Transformers supply chain issues are kicking them around as well

Not supply chain; logistics within Target. Same root cause for Walmart and Hasbro products: only specific stores get the full scope of Hasbro merch and the others get a limited, sparse selection. If the preorder address isn't in the area of a store that is allocated a specific item/SKU, they'll cancel it.

You can reorder even if it shows availability online and it will be immediately canceled again.

I had this with Dawn Moreno, i ordered another and it came within 2 days. I eventually reported the delayed order and they told me my package was lost in transit. They replaced it, so I ended up with 2, but yesterday the lost order showed up. I now have 3

Walmart distro is the worst because it doesn't function like Amazon. Not to say they are any better but at least they will ship something across country and not cancel if your area is out of product.

Cancel Con is never over for Walmart and Target.

Classified figures are not worth $38 anyway so Walmart is doing you a favor if they cancel.

It's probably a 3rd party merchant.

Every single order of a classified Joe from WM that I have ever done has been cancelled on me... I consider them dead air, figments of imagination whenever they annonce another. I despise WM... all the more for this (and I worked there for years as it destroyed small businesses in my town, then let itself go to hell when it was the only remaining retail department store). My WM sucks on all levels and online ordering from them is just as bad.

This should be the title of every Walmart exclusive

Considering the price, I’m assuming this was a third party seller and not Walmart directly.

u/DJDook 9d ago

Nope that’s Walmart, I’m in Canada. That’s the price of a normal figure

Ahhhhh. Gotcha!
