@panthercult are you reading the correct year for Saw Viper? I have CC on Thursday and Raptor on Friday, but I can't trust Amazon until I have them in hand.  They burned me so many times with last minute date changes.  I was surprised I didn't do a BBTS preorder for Raptor and Road Pig.

Storm Shadow/Alpine/IG/Bat have been found at Walmart within the last few days, if anyone is lucky enough to have a nearby Classified carrying store.

That's hilarious... it really does say October 3, 2025.    I did not notice that.   I have SO many pre-orders coming in from Hasbro across multiple brands that it didn't phase me that this one wasn't supposed to be, so I noticed the month and day, but not the year.   LOL.

Interesting, Amazon still shows these as delivering in December - which I'm good with considering the ton of stop dropping on my doorstep in the next two weeks.

lol!  I'm not terribly stoked for SAW Viper but if he shipped today I'd buy him.  Love the instant gratification of a toy buy without a brutal pre-order wait.  Pre-orders for figures two waves in the future really dampers the excitement for what's actually arriving next at our doorsteps.

That said, there's no way that wave doesn't ship out before October 2025.  They had finished, mint in box versions two weeks ago at Pulsecon, I could see these things shipping out anytime.  If these ship out in March or even sooner, I will not be surprised.

The weirdest thing for me is that SAW Viper seems to be the only one I have pre-ordered from that wave.

 

I have a very clear memory of pre-ordering all of them at Amazon, but Amazon does not currently have a history of any order for the other three from that wave.   There is no current listing for any of them on Amazon at the moment either.   They are long since sold out at Pulse.   

Curiously, I also very clearly remember pre-ordering my Punisher/Bushwacker 2-pack at Amazon and it also is not there and is currently out of stock.   

 

So, not sure what happened but Amazon seems to have flushed multiple pre-orders of mine.   Hopefully since those guys are so far in the future they will go back up for order and I won't have much trouble grabbing Leatherneck,  Dial Tone and Zandar.

@panthercult 

If this helps at all, hisstank still has the links to the amazon pages. Even the ones that are sold out, you can still view them at least.

That is super helpful...

 

But I'm still really wondering what happened to that set of Amazon orders...  why did the SAW Viper stick around and none of the others?

@panthercult Yeah that is really weird. Maybe try contacting customer service? I suggest that as someone who will avoid contacting customer service at all cost.

I mean -  history tells me these will come back in stock for order closer to their ship date and they won't be hard to come by, so I'm not exactly panicking,  it's just odd.    Frankly I wonder if I shouldn't wait for Zandar to linger for a bit and get him at a reduced price...

One of my local Targets has marked down the Tiger Force Roadblock and Tripwire 2 pack down to half price at $27.49. Picked up my spare.

My Falcon/Quarrel that had said Oct 2nd updated to say Oct 3rd, but there’s no movement on it. Still just says order placed. So who knows. 

But Cobra Commander and Stalker from Amazon also still say the 3rd and I’ve been charged for them, despite also having no movement.
