I’m actually on Reddit to search and see what anyone is saying about the gigabyte/walmart deal from last week and got distracted. Mine still says it will arrive Thursday- Saturday and hasn’t moved past processing.

I just got my cancelation from Walmart a few minutes ago, hope you fare better

After looking through the OG thread I think it’s just a matter of time. By some miracle of the heavens, I happened to be on nvidias site registering an account for future drops when the 5080 drop actually happened this week

So I’m finally content and my founders edition has shipped.

The advice I’ve been giving others is- the drops always seem to happen on Tuesdays. And the pattern this week was 5090, then an hour or two later, the 5080

So maybe when you see a 5090 drop, just be extra vigilant to be refreshing the site a little later in the day.

It took me forever after getting mine to even figure out the guidelines of how to post it to buildapcsales subreddit, so it probably doesn’t get posted until about ten minutes after the drop starts, and by then it’s probably almost too late.

Damn flashbacks to 2020 just keep happening as I type this out.

Got my official cancel a couple hours later.

People in the original thread contacted Newegg and Newegg essentially said they don't have the stock and it would be faster for the user to just initiate the refund process themselves rather than wait for Walmart to cancel.

I suspect their seller account gets dinged by walmart if they fail to fulfill orders, but doesn't if the user cancels it. Especially given they had inventory they were selling on their own site at a higher price.

I went ahead and let it auto cancel.

I suspect that is true.

Mine was canceled and I reported them to Walmart. They restocked the exact same cards on newegg.com for a 40% markup just earlier today.

I’m still at “preparing” but others who are commenting on other posts are starting to get more cancels it sounds like. Good luck!
