Im just now seeing your reply! Thanks very much, I massively appreciate it!

Yea a Target exclusive villain that no one can get! Don't wish that on us. Target is now the king of letdowns I'm so tired of trying to get there figures. My way was to get on at midnight and order on the release date but that did not work this time,alas. I live in Arkansas we only have two Targets and the closest one is over an hour away...feel my pain.
Hoping it will be a villain. I love the Retro Card villain colours

However, Target seems to be getting pretty bad about having their exclusives sell out online quick and never getting stocked in physical stores (at least in my area).
I'm getting really tired of Target. Agree 100% with you for online. In-store, the waves appear 1 to 3 times each, and then they vanish. The only way I can keep up is swing by the store a block from work. If the pegwarmers are up, I know I just missed it and I've 1 or 2 more chances.
so we are probably getting the third retro X-men tomorrow.

There's a LOT of placeholders in their lines and a lot of "Malibu Stacy's with Hats" too.I bought the ToyBiz stuff from the start, and I still have a bunch in my collection. So figures therein have, imo, never been surpassed, or have been upgraded only so marginally as to be not worth the effort to get.Lockjaw is an interesting case: I thought the Mezco: ONE-12 Blackbolt set had ( initially) a leagues better Lockjaw. Uh-uh.The Hasbro Lockjaw is more articulated, by a bit---it just lacks the light-up feature.
Haha, the Hasbro Lockjaw proves my asymptote theory. To get close to an end-all Lockjaw by Hasbro, it would need that light-up feature! (And maybe better articulation. We can dream LoL)
I do have a handful, and I mean literally 5 or less, of the old Toybiz Legends: Ultimate Iron Man---I thought this was really great at the time, until I checked under the lid and found Tony's ridiculous looking tiny head! I leave it on him---Beast w/articulated jaw, Professor X, the other 2 I can't recall.

Are tons of people cancelling?

More than likely a limited amount available for preorder when it first went up to create FOMO.

I mean, can you imagine years earlier, buying the farm, only to have lived through the TOY BIZ era as the highlight of one's collecting experience? We're in a golden age of sorts. I got Crystal/Lockjaw recently. Sure wish Lockjaw's legs were a little more articulated. But in this case, who knows when Hasbro will get around to rereleasing a retooled "super-posable) Lockjaw, so I'm grateful.
