Speaking of Guile, it looks like his air force blue P2 colors is a Target exclusive releasing around early April and as a Wonddrcon exclusive. Not only that kinda breaks the mold of red color Target exclusives, but out of all the colors it had to be exclusive to Target. That sucks. I was hoping this would be online store exclusive as that opens the gate to better distribution and availability. I don’t know about you guys, but my local Targets have been absolutely crap when it comes to stocking Jada SF recently. They seemed to improve last year but ever since wave 3 was released , I have not seen anything physical with wave 3 in stores. Just some smatterings of wave 1 and 2 but even they disappear after a few days still.
Btw, I heard reports that Cammy is showing up in Barnes and Nobles.
Granted, I didn’t have too much trouble with Red Chunners, however that was when my stores were getting shipments and restocks every 2 or three weeks. Red Chunners doesn’t seem to be shipping anymore in my area as the blue Chunners has replaced the red variant in the 3pack she ships with Dhalsim and Bison. I hope to God blue Guile will be plentiful. I really don’t want to have to hunt too hard for this guy.
Alright Jada, here’s my personal rant for you. Start having other exclusives to stores available on your site as well. It just sucks hard for some collectors to have to go to stores when time is limited.
My Target has had the same Fei Long and Red Chun since Thanksgiving.
@spongyblue You are fortunate to have some Jada SF to look at in a Target store. I have roughly 20 Targets I can get to in a reasonable amount of time. Only 8 or 9 carry Jada SF. No figures from any waves so far as I know the last few weeks in my area. They may have showed up but not last long on the shelves.
Also on another note, GameStop USA seems to have the Jada SF listings in their system for April release supposedly. But at $29.99 for their regular sized figures. This tariff related or Just a GameStop thing? Also BBTS has increased Sagat and Blanka preorders from $29.99 to $34.99. Their in stock Jada SF are still regular price at $24.99 except regular Ken who is a little higher for some reason. But the interesting figure to note is the regular blue Chunners as she is the only one not instock at their site currently but has a preorder price of $29.99. It doesn’t look like Entertainment Earth has raised prices on Jada SF yet. Looks like some places are starting to implement that $5 increase. Hopefully not every store does it but we shall see.
I clocked the $5 price increase as well. I saw it, too on the new wave of Thundercats figures that just came in stock. My pre-orders were fulfilled at the original price but the figures are currently on sale at a $5 mark up - so I definitely think this is tariff related adjustment.
And just when I said my Targets were crap with Jada SF restocks, I see Cammy and Deejay at one Target. Not sure who the third pack mate was supposed to be since it was just the two of them, but I am assuming it was Guile. Could be Ryu since I seen him a month ago by himself at Target.
Hopefully the restocks start picking up steam, as that blue Guile must be mine.
Saw Ryu, Chun-Li, Fei-Long at Walmart for the excessive price of 31.44 each! 🤯
@kryptonian gross! Walmart never ceases to disappoint me.
Seriously considering starting a P2 variant collection. Bison looks really good and I really want a yellow and blue Blanka..
I would really like some beat up head sculpt accessories from the continue screens too. That would be something we’ve not seen before.
Found Bison and Dhalsim at Barnes and Noble the other day. First time seeing a different wave there. Hoping Vega preorders go up soon
Saw the Jada SF figures at my local Walmart at the $31.44 price also. I may vomit.
P2 Blue Guile found at one of my local Targets. Still $24.99. Case of three consisted of 2 blue Guile and one red Chun Li. Looks like he’s starting to hit the bay. Glad I got him and no need to hunt further.
