Why they keep making some of the years most wanted figures store exclusives is mind boggling.

Because Hasbro and the retailers know that key exclusives are collecting choke-points. The whole goal is for retailers to get customers in their stores and for Hasbro to get orders from those retailers.If the retailer thinks they can sell the toy, they place the threshold order ( or better) with Hasbro--and the key is that character. We are a proven captive audiences and suckers for this kind of thing. It will not change anytime soon. But here's the thing.......make enough noise about this, and Hasbro will make the figure again---probably with small changes, maybe a different portrait. Because, again, they KNOW they have a captive buying audience.

I've found the notification things doesn't really work anymore either on stuff.

Yeah, I'm definitely seeing that here.

This is ridiculous. I'm set up for Target to let me know when it's in stock, no notification whatsoever. Guess I should be happy with the older version, cause catching up to this thing is a fulltime job.

I guess I've gotten lucky cause I've seen at least 2 full cases of her sitting on shelves in the past few weeks. I grabbed one for custom fodder, I didn't know she was so hard to find.

Getting real sick of this. There are tons on ebay for double the price. What are they releasing a few hundred at a time? They sell out in minutes!

Dang it! Missed it again! Out of stock again...

I had signed up for an alert through Target.com for when it was available again but of course didn't get anything. I'd really like to have this figure, but not going to jump through hoops or pay scalper prices for it. I will just have to hope that it gets wider release or reissued at some point. In my opinion this looks to easily be the best Carol figure they've ever done in any costume, and it just happens to be my favorite costume for her.

Shown below is the new Hasbro Marvel Legends Series 85th Anniversary Target Exclusive Warbird Figure is now available and in-stock from Target with a suggested retail price of $24.99.

Preordered Warbird for shipping just after 11pm PST on the 20th. The next day my order was listed as backordered with an estimated ship date of August 5th. Changed to expected to ship soon but then back to being backordered. This morning changed to preparing to ship with a shipping label created. Holding my breath until it's actually in transit. This shouldn't be that difficult.
