Thanks to Javier for sending the report.

We received word this morning from several followers that some accounts with existing open preorders have been changed to “cancelled” status without sending out email notifications of the changes. Hasbro Pulse customer service is aware of the issue and has said that it is a technical issue and the orders are still open and not cancelled.
For collectors that still may need this, it looks like DeepDiscount.com has the TVC Poe Dameron X-wing for only $39.10 (61% off). I’ve not ordered from them before so I can’t speak to their reliability but that is a steal none the less. Free shipping too on orders over $25.00.
Sponsor Entertainment Earth is now carrying the 6″ Black Series Heavy Infantry Mandalorian. Preorder now for shipping in June.
