Has Walmart Figured Out The Solution For Their Exclusives?

Don’t answer that. But, it’s worth pointing out that the solution seems to be quite simple: Don’t offer pre-orders for your exclusives. When you have your exclusives ready to go, put them live on the website ready to ship! The one thing in common for all of the 2020 exclusive mishaps with ordering has been they were all pre-orders. We’ve now seen it with almost all of the 2020 exclusives: plenty of availability once they put them up for ORDER, and NOT pre-order. As of this posting, there are STILL Incinerator troopers available, after all that angst. There is still the Holiday Edition Snowtrooper available, after many pre-order cancelations. And the wave of The Clone Wars TBS figures have been in and out of stock for weeks (The Mandalorian Loyalist is currently available). The TVC Mandalorian and The Child figure set is apparently sold out, but when it WAS finally put “In Stock” last month it was available for almost 2 days, so there was plenty of time to order it. 

So, is this what is happening with their 2021 wave of The Vintage Collection figures? Collectors have been waiting and searching for these to show up for pre-order. But, perhaps they HAVE figured things out and we won’t see these listed in-stock until the time comes that they are ready to ship. In case you missed any of them, here’s the list of 2020 exclusives, some of which are still available, and some that are still fluttering in and out of stock.
