I didn't see any overall thread for these or maybe it is buried away deep.
I just had to vent at Hasbro's decision to make some characters exclusive to Target. These characters were quite significant in the Mandalorian series.
These were sold out immediately. I'm sure part of the problem were bot buyers.
Target's search function does not help either. That is pretty much broken. I consider it broken because it gives irrelevant results. It very well could be made intentionally like this. Plus every time you do a new search it resets to show the stupid 3rd party resellers.

I just ordered all three with no problems like 10 minutes ago.

I was able to get Mayfeld and Koska Reeves when they went up at 10PT, but despite clicking the link for Woves at that same time, he was somehow already sold out. Like, literally less than 15 seconds, if that. However, I kept refreshing him throughout the day and happened to catch it when one came back into stock. It's worth trying again a few times today while the system filters out the people who ordered more than the allowed amount.

That said, though, yikes: less than a minute of time to get something just isn't enough. And even that required being there at the exact moment they went up on the site. Whatever their process is for the preorders, it isn't working, because this happens with every exclusive they release now. I kept trying for weeks with the Morak Boba Fett and never broke through. Buying a Star Wars figure shouldn't require setting alarms and sneaking away from work to click a button at a precise time like you're carrying out a high-tech jewel heist or something.

ugh of course when I'm busy
and now both Mandos

Hasbro is the abusive boyfriend/girlfriend - you say you are giving up on them, but you keep coming back.

How many times do they make awesome figures exclusives, yet how often (like now) do you have Lando warming the pegs?

I was able to get on tonight and get Migs and Koska, which were the two I wanted. Shouldn’t be this hard, and I shouldn’t be sitting here waiting for Target to send me a cancellation notice.

Let me know when they fix that awful upper leg articulation. Great stuff is coming out, but it is spoiled by that terrible engineered vertical peg.

I really wanted to love this line - and still catch myself getting characters even though they're way too small to fit in with any other line. So I've been limiting myself to aliens/droids while I make customs of humans from MTF/Joes/etc.

The vehicles are the best they've ever been, though - really hoping we get some more soon (like a Mando-modded Naboo Starfighter).

Just wish the human heads weren't so tiny so I could bash them onto other figs. Glad I have all those Bobas/Jangos with removable armor bits in my fodder bin so I can make a bunch of mandos with MTF bodies. But I'm dreading trying to find a suitable Fennec head that isn't the size of a pea.

They seem to be fixing this, at least based on the recent Lando, Bo Katan, and Kuill. All of them have horizontal pegs in the crotch, basically modern GI Joe articulation. Much improved!

Are these 1/18th or the smaller ones?

These are the 1/18th scale figures.

I let out an audible "oh, awesome!" when I discovered that the hips on the Kuiil and Bo Katan figures were a new, infinitely superior design. Kuiil instantly went from being a figure I was kind of happy to have to being one of the best figures they've done in the modern era. That dude is going to get used for so many customs of shorter characters...

Makes a nice halfling

You read my mind! I've got a couple of halflings pieced together already, with more Kuiils on the way.
