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.

With a good portion of the country on stay/shelter in place directives to combat the spread of COVID-19, I wouldn’t be surprised if Star Wars collectors were treated to new product preorders next week. I noticed that a few retailer pages have become active again for TVC figures like Wolffe and K-2SO. The same thing happened just this past Friday afternoon when Hasbro dropped preorders for the new 6″ GIJOE Destro Classified Series figure (which I quickly snapped up from sponsor DorksideToys.) Could Wolffe and K-2SO (and others) be part of the preorders?
In this time of major upheaval in the routines of our lives, we thank you for your continued support of our site and our sponsors.
