Incoming BLNR! Luckiest SOB alive.
For no good reason other than I was bored, I called my local AD this morning to see if they had a Batman in stock. The guy was nice enough to say he'd check stock against the wait list, since they just got a shipment yesterday, and call me back. When he did, he told me he had one unspoken for at their other location. I put my deposit down and ran over.
When I arrived, the lady said they only received one and that they did have a four month waiting period however since it wasn't "allocated yet" they were able to sell it to me. If I called an hour later it would've been too late. I'm buying a lottery ticket... what a beaut.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I paid MSRP. Even my reliable sources who are usually good with discounting were only selling at list. Demand is still strong. Good luck with your search! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
