Does anyone have any idea what's going on with that Spinmaster 89 Batwing?

I placed a preorder on Amazon when it initially appeared.. and they recently bumped the expected delivery date of Aug 27 up to the 19th.. which is tomorrow.. but it's not even shipped yet.

Are they just completely losing their ability to track these limited run items?  Same thing happened with the Micro Galaxy Tie Bombers I ordered, they just up and cancelled them with no warning, saying they couldn't even get them.

Edit: Yeah, I don't know what is going on with Amazon anymore, I'm not sure I'm going to trust them with preordering anything like this from now on.  Just got an email asking if I still wanted the item, and claimed they're having supply issues.

Screw it, bought one with a defined delivery date.  I'll keep the other in case it comes through, but I'm expecting they'll just drop the ball at this point.

I ordered my 2 on 6/7 and received them.  Sometimes there is a delivery delay and they ask for you to approve it.  Then you have to keep checking your order and the listing to see if becomes available to ship.  Where did you end up ordering from?

Just grabbed one from an alternate seller listed on the Amazon page, who's out now.  Maybe I got in on the tail end of the order, and supply ran out?

Not a huge deal, if Amazon comes through, I'll just have a spare, they're not expensive enough to worry too much about, I'm just frustrated with their inability to deliver in a couple of cases now where similar things have happened.  They specifically moved my delivery date up, and then clung to that delivery date, despite the fact that the item had not even been shipped yet.  I got the delay notice at 8am on the day it was due to be delivered.

I'd been watching Amazon for the sale listing, and it didn't come up as available to order until the 14th of July though, so maybe they were on the back end of the supply for it from the beginning.

Already difficult to get, and I wasn't into these designs but oddly Beebop and Rocksteady are up at BBTS... and Beebop looks badass.

I love the blister card packaging, but there's no way I'm double-dipping on those expensive little figures just for the cardbacks... 😒

They’re half price now. Can’t really say they’re too expensive anymore, still a little up there. Totally makes me feel like I should have waited. Oh well

They cost me ¥3800 each in the boxes... Now I see they're ¥3300 on the cards. 

Not "half price," but certainly "still a little up there." 😉

IMG_2863.jpeg.2a171ab6dcac41d33c50b56736b6d4c1.jpegactually a bit less than that for the preorder. The yen was a little different a couple years ago and the boxed figures were almost $40, now they’re less than $20
