Action figure pre-orders are everywhere—but are collectors finally hitting pre-order fatigue? In this episode 103 of Toy Box Chronicles, we break down the growing frustration around constant toy reveals, long wait times, rising prices, and exclusive drops from major brands like Hasbro, Mattel, and McFarlane Toys. From Marvel Legends and DC Multiverse to G.I. Joe Classified, Star Wars Black Series, and beyond, we discuss how pre-order culture is impacting collectors, retailers, and the future of the hobby.

We also explore how movie, TV, and pop culture hype fuels pre-orders, the role of convention reveals, and whether fandom burnout is becoming unavoidable. If you love toy news, toy reviews, comic book news, movie and TV discussions, or collecting action figures, this conversation is for you. Join the Toy Box Chronicles crew as we ask the big question—has pre-ordering gone too far, or is this just the new normal for collectors?
