They shipped Gearshift so early that she showed up a day before the game came out, but I haven't gotten a confirmation that Nitro has shipped out yet. I was wondering if anyone has gotten a confirmation yet.

Mine was on backorder, so I cancelled it and got him in store. My Target only had 3 left yesterday though...

Yeah, I wasn't getting any confirmation either, so I went to my local Target and grabbed one, then cancelled my order. There were still several on the shelves.

I did the same, bought instore and canceled them. I am still waitinf for my dark editions atm too.

Well, this is disheartening. I'd do what you guys did but the only Target around is almost 40 minutes away. I guess I'll just have to wait until they decide to ship it.

I'm concerned as well. Mine hasn't shipped, and the closest Target is 80 miles.

Mine did not ship and I called they said it was out of stock. I canceled it! Why does Target Preorder and send them all to the store? Because they suck and do not need to be in the preorder business. It's just another reason for me to shop some place else because they can't even do an online order right. The company must be so rich they don't care about taking care of the customers that taking care of them well they were until now. I am not happy........

This is ridiculous. You pre-order things to ensure that you get it on release day! So they screwed over people who pre-ordered Nitro yet they apparently still have enough to put on their shelves. Welp, this may be the last time I buy from Target. I'll get your Skylander variants second hand if I must, if I get them at all anymore.

I preordered mine, but no word on shipment. I saw plenty at my local Target store yesterday...I should have just picked out the one with the best paint job and been done with it. Hopefully we'll see stores other than TRU have sales on figures soon.

It seems there's no winning with Target. Their first few exclusive variants appeared for mere days before vanishing for eternity. (Granite Crusher and Jade Flashwing). Now we try to avoid that by pre-ordering online, and it looks like the only way to get Nitro Krypt King is to actually venture to a store, where they're finally well-stocked.

There only well stocked because Target dropped the ball For people that preorder a stater kit was to get a free trap and Nitro Krypt King. If they would have let everyone know this I would have bought mine there. Oh well I just cant win with Target. It's all down hill from here....

It's always a gamble with Target...we're all trying to avoid a Granite Crusher situation. It seems that Nitro Magna Charge and regular Magna Charge can't be found at any stores now, but I do recall the Nitro Magna Charge double packs were restocked quite well for months following the launch of Swap Force.

I think this first week or two of launch is the only time we'll see the Outlaw Brawl & Chain exclusive traps on the pegs of some Target stores.

My target had tons of Nitro Krypt Kings TODAY! I got it on Sunday, so I cancelled my online order....why wait for it to just be out of stock, is what I was thinking. So sorry for those of you that don't have easy access to a target!

I cancelled mine and picked up him and Gearshift at Target today... Pointless to wait on it when they're both plentifully available.

I cancelled mine as well. I went to the store tonight and they had about 6 or 7 on the shelf. What is up with these stores being so slow at shipping things out? I'm still waiting on two preorders from ToysRus to ship too.

My L Jawbreaker and L N Express are due tomorrow via UPS, but they didn't ship until Tuesday.

Welp, according to Target's site, tomorrow is supposed to be the latest Nitro was meant to show up and it still hasn't even shipped yet. It would be nice of them to at least send me an email saying that there's been a delay instead of this complete radio silence.

Speaking of which, I ordered a few traps from Toys R Us on Sunday and they still haven't shipped those either. What is up with these huge delays? I pre-ordered the Legendary Nightmare Expresses and Legendary Jawbreaker and they're both expected to show up tomorrow. These online stores are being super inconsistent.

I got an email from Target this morning, saying:

New Estimated Delivery Date: 10/29/2014 - 11/17/2014" (I'd placed my order on 9/6).

If you would like to keep waiting for the item(s), please select that option on the order detail page
If the item(s) are on backorder and you no longer want the delayed item(s), you can cancel them from the order detail page
If we don’t hear from you, we will cancel the item(s) by the below estimated delivery date.

So I oblige, and the cancel option is easy enough to find, but I don't see anything along the lines of "keep waiting".
I won't have time to call until this evening.

Does anyone in this boat see that keep option?

I haven't gotten an email from them at all yet.

Picked up Nitro Krypt King in store on day one. Completely forgot I had pre-ordered one online weeks ago. After getting the e-mail about it being back-ordered, I simply cancelled.

I decided to bite the bullet and canceled my order from Target. I've gone and bought Nitro off Ebay for about three dollars more than what buying him off Target would have costed me. At least Ebay will enforce some accountability on the seller if they botched an order as badly as Target. Congrats, Target. I'm never buying from you again.

Cancelled mine also...still waiting on Dark Edition... Target has lost my business on this one! If you pre-order an item....and its not available ....that's one thing...but when you have stock in store and back order pre-orders....well that's crazy!

Why anyone would buy a Skylander from Target at this point outside of a ridiculously good sale is beyond me...Their online ordering is a mess and their store is terrible with inventory. I'd rather pay full price at any other store than buy from Target. I mourn for the people that will probably show up first thing Sunday morning at Target for Wave 2 and end up with nothing. Just go to TRU...It's the best option and the BOGO 40% deal is just as good. My Redcard has been collecting dust since the Stink Bomb Sunday Ad fiasco.

Well, I USED to only use Target for buying their exclusive variants. As for Toys R Us, just like Target, the only one nearby is nearly 40 minutes away. I pretty much have to rely on online orders to get exclusives. It sucks pretty bad. The town over used to have both a Target and Toys R Us back in the ye olde days. I remember getting Pokemon Blue Version from that Toys R Us back when I was a kid, now it's been an empty building for over ten years. LOL.

MY dark editions finally came! Thou out of the 5 of them every food fight looks painted horribly sadly

That's just how he is, I looked at a bunch of them the first night and noticed it on all of them. The silver paint fade over the black doesn't work well since the colors are so contrasting. His mold is also kind of borked.
