Word first started to spread with online retailer Entertainment Earth notifying people that had pre-ordered G.I. Joe Wave 5 Vehicles (Cobra Stinger w/Stinger Commander, Cobra Arctic HISS w/Arctic HISS Driver and COBRA CLAW w/Strato-Viper & FLAK Cannon w/Outback), that their orders were cancelled. And that Hasbro was canceling production of these items. Unsure of why this had happened, everyone was just left wondering what the reasoning was. Well today BigBadToyStore, has given validation and verification that this wave is indeed cancelled.

Hi – Hasbro has just informed us that this item has been cancelled, and as a result they will not be able to fill our orders. We apologize for the inconvenience. We have cancelled all preorders and removed the item from our site.

Thanks

Now word going around is that this wave is just merely delayed until later in the first quarter of 2009 allowing Hasbro to ramp up production to meet supply and demand. Hopefully some official word will come down from the Hasbro house to put the Joe community at ease over this situation.
