But at $35 still overpriced. If there was at the very least a Jamie Foxx head sculpt I could see them trying to push the price that high. But without it just too much in my opinion.

No argument from me. The lack of a decent Foxx likeness is a travesty.

It was $35, though. It's not a $50 figure.

Edit: Ah, unless you're talking Canadian prices. Not sure where you live.

I must've thought I saw someone say $50 in a previous post, must be my old age . But at $35 still overpriced. If there was at the very least a Jamie Foxx head sculpt I could see them trying to push the price that high. But without it just too much in my opinion.

And I'm not trying to come across abrasive. I just reread my post and I was like Damn I must have been heated. Hot flash maybe. But TBH I was angry at this thing from the onset. This is just terrible. Just so terrible. And I do love the double ball joint concept. It is amazing on the G.I. Joe and it's a full time thing with them along with the drop pins in the legs. How they got so far ahead of ML on this front is crazy. And I know it's the difference of a license Hasbro owns versus a license they lease but to me that's always been a BS argument. The accommodations for the price to land the license is accounted for at bid time. The money is already gone. To go throughout the lifetime of the agreement and try to cut corners and pinch pennies to try to recover that money prevents you from making full use of that license. It's just a silly excuse.

It's all good. I just wasn't sure if you originally thought I was trying to justify the price when I was actually agreeing with you lol.

I appreciate it. I guess Ill be paying eBay prices - Im just happy to know itll be manufactured in high enough numbers for scalpers to have it.

Lol. That's a way to put a silver lining on it. I was able to get one myself but I also live in an area that's actually been pretty good at getting most of these exclusives on the shelves. I'll keep an eye out and contact you if I can help you out.

Awww, that sucks. That happened to me on the Danvers Warbird, and I've never seen her. A buddy of mine happened to have insomnia and was up at 2 am when they restocked a few weeks later. On the other hand, this happened to me on Black Widow too. Then the same guy and I were at a random Target and found full racks of Widow on clearance for 12 bucks. Even though they were still sold out online with no real reason to be on sale. So I got two for less than one if I'd snagged it right away!

So don't give up hope, but there really is no telling with Target. They usually restock randomly. Most of the time you'll see some in a store if you have time to hunt. And ebay Will have them, its just a matter of what people will charge. But sorry you missed it, good luck, hope you're able to find one!

I'll say this again and this has worked for me every time. If you get on the Target website at midnight( I know that can be a stretch) on the release date you will be guaranteed to get one. Now by the morning I'd say 6am it will be sold out again. This has worked for the last few Target exclusive's for me. Hope this helps someone out.

I was on at midnight, at 2, and at 3. No sign of the figure at any of those times. Not that it would hurt to try, its just not a guarantee!

Im so upset about the Jean preorder. Ive wanted this figure for years and Ive heard the horror stories about Target preorders, so I got up early and checked the site every hour on the hour at 7, 8, 9, and 10, EST. The figure showed up at 10:00 I put one in my cart, and it sold out while I was checking out. Are these going to be widely available on the secondary market or are they super limited?

I completely agree with you that it's overpriced. At $50 there should have been a Jamie Foxx head, extra hands, and even a flight stand.

It was $35, though. It's not a $50 figure.
