The rough thing is that Target's online inventory tracking is just completely hosed now. Items show up through either Popfindr or Target's own web site as being there, but when you ask an employee and they check their local system--which has always shown different results than the web-based systems--and they're showing zero in stock. For a few days every local Target was showing 6 to 10 in stock, but then one day they all flipped to 0 even though I had seen her in a store on a day that Popfindr was showing none anywhere in the area.
That sucks big time, it saved a lot of driving/fuel/frustration for me and I’m assuming everyone else
It does suck, but there is an alternative--if you call stores with the item's DPCI they will usually tell me if it's in the store, and about half the time someone will hold one at customer service for me. TCIN is what we've had to use for Popfindr for the last two years, but every time I've ever tried to give a TCIN to someone on the phone or in the store they don't know what to do with it.
If the store you're calling doesn't have it you can ask them if local stores do and there's a screen in their system that will show nearby stores and their stock. However, much like the online inventories are different than the inventories shown on their in-store computers the nearby store inventories have been incorrect multiple times. Several times employees have seen stock at a local store, but then you call that store and they say they show none in their local system.
You guys got your preorders filled? WTF Target? Just checked & mine says backordered... This is the info I miss out on without the Fwoosh. Guess I need to start looking for her.
Yeah, mine says backordered with the expected arrival date of Aug 2 - 7th
Tried checking some Targets but most of them around me don't even have Marvel Legends right now.
It's anybody's guess as to whether Target will get more of these. Their inventory management is so flaky now I have no guess myself.
My Target had at least 2 rows worth at one point, but they have since dried up.
On one hand I am surprised, since they started off with so many. On the other hand, I am not surprised, as it really is a fantastic figure.
Ended up with 2 myself.
Ebay prices haven't doubled MSRP yet so I'm guessing enough people are finding her to keep the market price reasonable. If they don't get re-stocks I'm expecting her to go to $75 or more within a few months. The first retro Spidey from 2020 with the lower ab crunch ended up rising to $125 or so, and it's certainly possible Widow will get that high as well.
What's the next female character you guys think will utilize this new body?
Couldn't stop posing this figure on my desk.. also still can't believe we got 10 pieces of accessories with it.
Picked one of these up from Target about a month ago. Forgot to cancel my preorder, so they shipped me that one (which I returned to my local store).

If they're going to take advantage of that zipper torso with the sculpted fabric, the kinds of characters that come to mind are agents like Maria Hill (we already have), Sharon Carter, maybe Madame Masque. Black Cat? Not the right build? Like I said, I don't see a lot of uses for it with the specific sculpted details, but maybe I'm not thinking outside the box enough.

Black cat (with some mods) would be great!
With a new upper torso, it'd be appropriate for a decent percentage of female figures. I want Mystique or this first:
I think they’d need to rework the entire torso for that Rogue costume.
Noticed this weekend that all of the Avengers-themed ML that sprung up during that last reset are completely gone from the Targets around me. Hawkeye, Hulk, everyone.
You can't say the stuff isn't selling.

heck yes! Give her the Kubert or Bachalo 90’s hair as an alt head from the Kelly/Seagle era too! Def need this look for a few eras.
Just got a shipping notification for Black Widow! I didn't think it would happen. This is good news.
