I actually went hunting this weekend and saw at least a Mankind or an Eddie in-stock so it seems like there are more shipments but are probably still selling out fast.

Just got the 11/21 email for Mankind. What do we expect another delay after this then the cancelation? Seems fixed to me. What a joke.

What happened with this set? The Bret/Piper set seemed to restock a few times and wasn't ever made available for preorder.

Went ahead and grabbed Mankind from Paul. I will keep my preorders open but Iโm losing faith that these will ever ship.

Pushed my preorder again.
Chatted with CS. Said that I am apart of an online community of toy collectors. I see plenty of people finding thse in-stores and they are being sold at a 100% markup by third parties online. Its a Walmart exclusive item and its beyond frustrating that Walmart continues to ignore customers who preordered these items months and months in advance while they continue to ship them out. I understand they work for Walmart but the generic "this is a delay in your preorder" answer is flat out incorrect and I've been dealing with this for years with Walmart.
I then requested a gift card for the amount difference for what I preordered the item for ($32.84) and the cheapest third-party seller through Walmart ($68.99) so I can order the item and have the order actually fulfilled, since I can't count on Walmart itself to stock their exclusive items correctly.
The CS agent issued me the difference! I got a gift card + promo code for almost $40 in credit to order from one of the other sellers on Walmart for almost $70. After all discounts, I paid just a few dollars over retail and it'll arrive this week.
Guys, I've tried this in the past and failed. I am not telling you it'll work. But its worth a try. You never know who you will get and how you can politely guide them to getting what you want. When my UE RVD/Eddie were continuously pushed back, I chatted with CS each time and I would get $10, $15 promo codes multiple times as a "make good" that I just used for other purchases while I kept my preorder ordered.
I do not care that Walmart gave me $40 to make the issue right. Its the only way I could guarantee this figure would arrive at all. Its been pushed 4 times and 7 months from the order date.

Iโm glad you got what you wanted but personally, Iโd rather not have them altogether than give money to these people that are part of the problem. |

Got the email yesterday and instantly cancelled my order. Ridiculous. How have they been in stores for this long and still canโt fulfill orders from March?

this all could be solved if they are re-releases..and/or.. Mattel doesnt offer something like this kinda series as an exclusive to a store that has failed many times now, that many people would like to have and simply cant get. The ghostbsters type of TMNT crossover lines belong at Walmart.. Target/Amazon with a proven track record now should be getting RA, MNW, Legends...etc.
