I felt pretty lucky, but that was ridiculous.

Now of course....the next part of the game. Will they actually ship? I have about a 50/50 win rate there, as of recently, most of my preorders have been getting canceled just days before they are about to ship.

And then there is the curious case of cel-shaded Spider-Man (from nearly 2 years ago.) He's still listed as not canceled, but rather, "delayed," in my purchase history. Maybe one day Walmart...right?

I did the same thing for my order of the two Snake Men. Had everything up and ready to go before it started. Decided afterwards I might want to get Krang...and I was surprised he was already gone not even a minute later. Moss Man lasted a little bit longer but not much.

I had a WWE Superstars Vader pushed back then cancelled this year. I still have open pre-orders for Classified Retro Card Storm Shadow and Zartan from 2022 with the status of delayed, even though they've been back in stock on their site. I don't want to cancel them because they're price matched, but I highly, highly doubt I'll ever see them.
