I hoped patience would pay off. Big Bad Toy Store and Entertainment Earth just put these up for preorder! I preordered 6.
@comedian Sorry, for some reason it didn't show your post when I made mine.
Never apologize for spreading good news. Can't believe they're (slightly) cheaper than Target.
And, I'm assuming, FAR more reliable.
Just came in here to report that same news. I ordered four. Thoughts and prayers to everyone.
I don't follow all the exclusives, but are there any that HAVEN'T ended up at places like BBTS or EE? Even Pulse exclusives that I've paid attention to have done so.

That's tough to say. I only pay attention to what big box exclusives make it to fan channel outlets if I haven't gotten it from big box (rare) or need extras (sometimes). I think most Walgreens exclusives eventually went fan channel. Just looked up the recent Antman and Yondu Target exclusives on BBTS, and nothing.
@normdapito Ah, thank you! So it's not a sure bet, but seems like chances are high on a lot of these.
I don't know if the Rictor/Domino/Cannonball 3-pack ever made it out anywhere else. But yeah, it does seem like most do - and I'm glad the tracksuits found another home for all those who wanted them!
Bbts!

Finallyyyyyy. First thing I did was go to Target and cancel my forever pending pre order. What was especially annoying is that I had a Tuxedo Indy with the Mafia Tracksuit figure on the same order. They canceled the Indy but the Tracksuit figure always had a pending charge for BOTH figures. Target is the worst place to pre order.
Happily pay full price at BBTS for these figures.
ugh. But I hope you really savored cancelling the TSM figure at Target at least.
Ha! What can ya do except laugh? I pre-ordered from both, and I'll just see which comes in first and go from there.

From what I remember, Pulse sent some out, but that 3pk was a shopDisney exclusive. It was available to PO on shopDisney, but they never fulfilled. Instead, they seem to have put their entire allotment out at one of their Downtown Disney stores at the theme parks. Who knows what happened to those. I imagine they sold through or got clearanced out.
I kept my pre-order for 3 on Target and went ahead and pre-ordered 3 from BBTS. I'll keep whichever ships first. I do have one lone version of the figure in hand that I bought on ebay months ago, and I have to say that it's a nice figure! The whole Target situation with this figure has been beyond bizarre.
