The way Target has worked in the past with preorders is that they allocate for online and retail stores separately. If they don't receive the full shipment- they fill online orders first and retail gets the left overs- which means it might be difficult to find this exclusive item in store. Another possibility is that they were gauging the demand for this item in order to ascertain what kind of supply they would need.

But it said 'Also available in stores'...

Which means absolutely nothing- they have stuff like that online that I have never seen in store.

Bump, it is back up. was considering ordering, but I am moving in 5 weeks. I don't really like the battle damage, but I am sick of looking for it for now and am not patient.

Hey Frostliger, thanks! Good of you to share! I've gotten the BBs I want but am very sure that we'll be out of the 2 pack for sure. So I've done my pre-order too.

My thoughts exactly when I saw it was up again. went all the way to checkout and found that it was almost $30 with tax and shipping. I am resisting, but we will see how I feel after I talk to the stockers at "the Wal" tonight.

WOOT GOT SOME! ;;)

After being severely depressed for not buying that 2-pack while I had the chance (I was all the way to the very last step buying it online when it suddenly disappeared), I bought it the instant I saw it online this morning. I was really surprised, but I could not lose the chance this time around.

Sure, I don't like the battle damage, but it'll do. I don't have a 74 BB either, so it works out for me.

I guess it's easier for us non-Americans. In Asia each deluxe figure is USD$18-21 RRP So when I see how including shipping it 'only' costs $30 to an address in the States it's an easier decision to make.

Thanks I picked up two of them. The BD is okay, but good thing I already have a normal 08.
