Do you feel that? The cold . . .

^ That shot gives of some serious SW The Old Republic cinematic vibes IMO.

Saw the Vintage Galaxy Edge Falcon at my Target... 400 bucks. Just have to wait now and hopefully be the first one to see it go on clearance. Some rich Saudi Oil prince better not come to my Target and just buy it regular price and ruin it for everyone.

I still remember passing on the Legacy Falcon for 80 bucks clearance at TRU, but I am kinda glad I did because my Big AT-AT (which I got for 40 buck on clearance at K-mart) is kinda yellowing and that thing didn't even ever seen any direct sunlight either. And the AT AT is so big I don't even logistically know how to do the Hydrogen Peroxide in the sun to whiten it thing. I'm sure if I had bought the Falcon back then it would be yellowing by now too... much better to get the shiny new Galaxy Edge version if possible.

Just got word that Walmart has cancelled my Vintage Din Djarin with Child exclusive. Checking other forums, it looks like many others have had that happen. What's it like with you guys? Did you get your preorder cancelled? Did anybody NOT get theirs cancelled?

Hasn't been cancelled yet but I haven't heard anything about it in a while.

It turned up here in Australia at Target the week before X mas:

And not long after saying this I got an email saying should be here tomorrow. Really hope that's true.

If you don't mind me asking, when did you place your order? I ordered mine November 6th.

EDIT: It looks like there isn't any rhyme or reason to the cancellations. Some people who ordered as far back as October were cancelled but others who didn't order until December had theirs fulfilled.

snake5289 · 01-11-2021, 02:35 PM

I honestly don't know what's going on. Every time I've checked the site it says out of stock but since there's like 4 Wal-Marts close to here I'd hope it comes from one of them.

It's like the current "retro" Joe line. I've looked in person and haven't found a damn thing while online is always out of stock but my mom managed to find 3 of them for Christmas. I hate Wal-Mart. I really do.

I ordered 2 just to get free shipping and they canceled one order due to lack of supply and are supposed to ship one... I really just wanted one so I’m fine with it. I just assumed they canceled one so that nobody would get multiples.

Also ordered mine on 10/28

Dragstrip · 01-11-2021, 05:14 PM

My Din Djarin and Child was canceled by Walmart today. I ordered as soon as it became available. This is the umpteenth time they have cancelled one of my action figure preorders, and I went ahead and canceled all of my remaining preorders for transformers and star wars. I assume they would have all been canceled eventually anyway. I really hate Walmart.

This is the way Walmart operates. This is how they handle all preorders, unfortunately.

snake5289 · 01-12-2021, 10:16 AM

Got an email this morning that my VC Mando and Child shipped and it'll be here by the end of the day. Apparently its coming from Dallas though so I guess we'll see.

Artic 66 · 01-12-2021, 10:20 AM

I ordered 2 Din Djarin and the Child on Oct 26 (as soon as I found out about it) Just checked the order and it says it should arrive today, but also says the order is being prepared, so who knows!

Sign up for a back in stock notification. Walmart has been restocking Din Djarin on and off. I got 3 notifications in about a 2 hour period. I missed the first two but got in an order on the 3rd. The first time, it was out of stock by the time I clicked the link. The second, I managed to get it in the cart, but it was out of stock when I tried to check out. Luckily, it was still in my cart when the third alert came and I was able to just check out. Fingers crossed it won't get cancelled again.

Got my VC Mando this morning. Very cool figure.

SlamSlayer · 01-14-2021, 12:39 PM

This was way more painful to get than it should have been. But im glad it arrived

SlamSlayer · 01-15-2021, 09:27 AM

Wasn't quite feeling the shot I did of this guy yesterday. Felt it was missing something. Re-did it

snake5289 · 01-15-2021, 11:17 AM

That was such a badass scene.

I just started the second season and I'm LOVING this show.
