I'm putting my money on "B" considering they had nearly 12 dozen sets of the exclusive pairs still available less than 24 hours before they took them down.
It's also possible the incorrect listings played havoc with their inventory and they are incorrectly listed as sold out, thus then removed.
Either way, it's pretty likely they'll be back at some point and it's way too soon for any one to panic.
I saw these and others from the Magforce line at TRU today and they look perfect for minimates, both in scale and style. I think I'll get a couple and try them out this weekend. Has anyone else bought them?

MAGFORCE ATV Hauler Playset
This makes the most sense. As of yesterday there were still over 40 & over 70 in stock of the two listed as exclusives. Doubtfully they sold thru them that fast.
I find myself needing to take breaks from the book after certain plotlines. Having real depressing plot points are worse when they serve no real purpose to driving the story, which seems to be Kirkman's go-to move. And to me, #100 was disturbing and vile and (again) pointless. I do find the letters pages rather entertaining though - especially the ones following #100.
I mentioned this once before I believe, but since Luke is sold out with his re-stock, I'll go ahead and mention it again for anyone who missed this set. I made an offer of $20 (with free shipping) for this auction and it was accepted. YMMV, but they seem to have an endless supply of them.

There's been a few on eBay. Plus Luke mentioned in the BB thread that he got his in 9/6. I don't think he's shipped them though as I haven't gotten a shipping notice from him yet.

(Seriously, one day before official release date only to find out it's another month away?)
Guess my wallet needs the breather though. Time to start saving for October...
According to the link you provided:
Aliases: Doombots, Guardian Robots, Omni-Bots, Security Robots, Servo-Units.
So, it seems Doombots is as proper a name just as Iron Man is Tony Stark's alias. All is right with the world once again.
As much as I really want an Invisible Man and Phantom to round out the classics, I would be completely content knowing I have all the villains from The Monster Squad.
I had the same issue with Amaterasu's waist. But I noticed some give when I pushed the back legs further into the waist piece. Right out of the box they are not all the way flush with the inside of the waist piece. Apparently it helps just enough so that mine doesn't fall apart now.
I believe Luke said he was going to get more in stock, so he'd be the best option. But if you can't wait then there's also an ebay seller (redford-films) that I got one from for $20 shipped with a best offer. You could always try a lower offer and see if it's accepted. Apparently they have a ton in-stock.
