One per customer is a great policy. I hope they keep it up. Should apply to the post con left over sales as well. “Oh you got one at the show?” Congrats and new order cancelled.”
True, Hasbro treats a lot of those with memberships like complete garbage. Hasbro loves to let the scalpers kick us in the nuts. They need to just stop numbering ALL exclusives because it's a PITA to get them, scalpers scoop them all up because they bet on it being hard to get. In fact, Hasbro should stop with the damn numbering.
They were so inconsistent with the limit during SDCC. I went in Friday, they told me the limit is 1 for the whole weekend. I went in on Saturday, when I asked them they coyly gave me a non answer of “I guess we’ll find out when you get to the front” (which is the most BS ever). What it ended up being was “1 per day” so I got my second Coco on Saturday. My cousin told me that by Sunday, people weren’t even told a limit (this part is unconfirmed by myself).
Looks like Hasbro may have realized the huge debacle that this was on Pulse today. The listing now shows that it’s “sold out” but under that it says “coming soon”. So, I think more are on the way. Hopefully Hasbro puts it back up, gives us ample notification on when it will go live and limits it to two per person.
They need to limit it to 2 per person. These resellers buy them all up then act like they are doing people a favor by profiting off of a shortage they cause.
I order my zartan sdcc from super7 bc bbts price was crazy....I paid for shipping..now I'm pissed that bbts now has the correct price and I paid more from super7...
Well, Jay, you we're right! Hasbro is gonna Hasbro and accidentally posted it at 8a EST and then took it down shortly after. And then it sold out in a matter of minutes (again) at 11a. And still with a 5-per limit. What a fiasco.
I remember getting my first ever gi joes at consumer's distributing just had to search through a catalog then fill out a form the person would go into warehouse and bingo you had your toy.
FYI, if anyone have the 89 Batmobile by McFarlane and Jada Toys Street Fighter (Fei Long) you can use his flame effect for the 89 Batmobile. I used a small spray bottle cap to bridge the two, but it works.
Having such a high limit of 5 units per customer was crazy. And then to go through all this product limit theatre at the show with stamping the badges, I think in previous years they allowed Three per customer online. That's a big difference in volume. I did not really care for the once a man Cobra Commander even though I'm collecting classified, Kind of ugly figure that won't really fit my display. The retro carded Chrome face version is fine with me. So I left it for someone who wanted it. Was able to order that IDW Transformers pack and Deaths Head. I know not everyone wants to pay for pulse premium, since your giving them free money up front, but they provide access and free shipping. But if your buying Haslabs, getting the SDCC and the upcoming Pulsecon exclusives (Skyduster!) it pays for itself.
you left out something about the comic con line. If you didn't get it through the exclusives portal, they opened the line to the public at 3pm Thur. - Sat. and all day Sun.
BBTS doesn’t use bots. They are an authorized retailer, just like Entertainment Earth, and they order direct from Hasbro at wholesale costs. It’s why they are listed on BBTS their normal retail price.
I get on to pulse 12:59...refresh at 1pm...not available yet...refresh again says in stock but sold out at the same time....after about 3 to 5 minutes of me refreshing the 2 damn thing i wanted are sold out....premium membership for nothing...no once a man or death head for.... why 5 per customer if these damn things are so exclusive...
I had no problem buying off the website, I gave myself 15 mins. prior to make a speedy checkout, by 1:01 I had my 2 and done, just think no one was ready and short stock numbers.
I actually got Metal Head, at BBTS, after Hasbro messed me around for 35 minutes until it was Sold Out. I wasn't that high on either of them. Metal Head, to me, is just another member of my Masters of Evil. For Cobra Commander, I really wasn't interested either, because, IMHO, Cobra Commander was NEVER a Man! A Coward, Imbecile, Buffoon, Baboon, Horrible Leader, Dolt, runs from 10 year olds!
The current product listings are updated to Aug 6 at 11AM EST for Death Head and Once a man. Aug 7 at 11AM for Darth Maul. So we get a second chance. Once a man ships on Sept 15 for the second batch. I'm guessing this means they are doing a quick second production run.
The SDCC exclusives need to be limited to one per customer; doing so will help ease some of this scalper nonsense. When people can buy 5 at a time of an item with supposedly very limited stock all Hasbro is doing is setting up scalpers for easy pay-days.
I bought 1 for myself and 2 for friends. I don’t scalp since I pay too much in taxes already and don’t have any time dealing with eBay. Now it should be a limit of 2 or 3. Conventions being 1 limit is dumb.
If you look at the 3 exclusives you're claiming bigbadtoystore price gauged they're all from super7 the same company. MOST LIKELY they where told from their distributor to sell them at that price. I wouldn't be surprised if they even fix the price in orders. Since the Deaths head is up at retail. Not surprised if that was a simple mistake. They have upped prices before but probably on stuff they purchased 2nd hand
It gets really annoying to hear Jay whine about only getting ONE for the whole stream. I got ZERO.
For real. Poor baby had to stand in line. He's not mad that others didn't get a chance to get one. He's mad because he only has one. What an assclown.
One per customer is a great policy. I hope they keep it up. Should apply to the post con left over sales as well. “Oh you got one at the show?” Congrats and new order cancelled.”
Hasbro where scalpers come first.
😂😂😂

I got 0 ! I was on there both times it went up ! This is why i don't bother anymore. Be happy you got one brother lol
Im glad I don't collect GI JOE Classifieds and Blackseries. I just do MOTU and Transformers G1 only and no weak figures like SS86 Prime.
You just saved me. I went through my recycle bin to find the Cobra Commander slip cover. Whew! Thanks, man! :)
Allowing 5 per person is utter garbage.

No vaseline 😂😂😂
I am betting that Gamestop will have these available in-store as they have with previous SDCC "exclusives".

Wasn’t this supposed to be at 7pm est? Why the fuck did they drop it early? That’s such BS.
you left out something about the comic con line. If you didn't get it through the exclusives portal, they opened the line to the public at 3pm Thur. - Sat. and all day Sun.
Yup. On Friday and Saturday, I casually passed by the line at noon and they let us in, no portal code needed
Bbts use BOTS, or they have an inline contact for Hasbro.
BBTS doesn’t use bots. They are an authorized retailer, just like Entertainment Earth, and they order direct from Hasbro at wholesale costs. It’s why they are listed on BBTS their normal retail price.
I get on to pulse 12:59...refresh at 1pm...not available yet...refresh again says in stock but sold out at the same time....after about 3 to 5 minutes of me refreshing the 2 damn thing i wanted are sold out....premium membership for nothing...no once a man or death head for.... why 5 per customer if these damn things are so exclusive...
sorry to hear how things went, but glad ya guys dug the artwork…!
Before it officially sold out, the BBTS page went back up.
Deaths head available at entertainment earth! No cobra commander nor Darth Maul though😢
I got my two cobra commanders right when it was released. Surprised it was limited of 5. I was expecting 2
It wasn't 1 per customer on Saturday at 1pm. The line was small so they sold 2 per customer. Same with Friday at 1 or 2pm
I had no problem buying off the website, I gave myself 15 mins. prior to make a speedy checkout, by 1:01 I had my 2 and done, just think no one was ready and short stock numbers.
I was browsing thru BBTS and accidentally came up with this figure… it sold out in like a minute
I actually got Metal Head, at BBTS, after Hasbro messed me around for 35 minutes until it was Sold Out. I wasn't that high on either of them. Metal Head, to me, is just another member of my Masters of Evil. For Cobra Commander, I really wasn't interested either, because, IMHO, Cobra Commander was NEVER a Man!

Hey Jay, have you checked the site lately? It now doesn't say "Out of Stock" but now "Coming Soon".
The current product listings are updated to Aug 6 at 11AM EST for Death Head and Once a man. Aug 7 at 11AM for Darth Maul.
So we get a second chance. Once a man ships on Sept 15 for the second batch. I'm guessing this means they are doing a quick second production run.
Funny I see Aug 6th at 8 am est on the site for once a man.
Thank you, Hasbro
@@gregarcher8177 Try refreshing the product listing page.
@@gregarcher8177I’m looking at the website now. It says tomorrow at 11AM EST
Hmmm, I got one this afternoon when the orders opened, but my confirmed order on my orders page says it is a preorder that will ship on Sep 15th.
The SDCC exclusives need to be limited to one per customer; doing so will help ease some of this scalper nonsense. When people can buy 5 at a time of an item with supposedly very limited stock all Hasbro is doing is setting up scalpers for easy pay-days.
I would suggest a limit of 1 or 2 per customer for the first 24 hours, then increase the limit.
I read that on the last day of SDCC that they allowed people to get unlimited? Is that true?
Jay, You've been burning the midnight oil a lot lately.
They put the price down on deathhead because he is not exclusive
I always use paypal when available smooth transactions always
you'll get a second chance soon.
I bought 1 for myself and 2 for friends. I don’t scalp since I pay too much in taxes already and don’t have any time dealing with eBay. Now it should be a limit of 2 or 3. Conventions being 1 limit is dumb.
Their new app is garbage. Why they would change the app right before SDCC and launching a new Haslab is baffling.
If you look at the 3 exclusives you're claiming bigbadtoystore price gauged they're all from super7 the same company. MOST LIKELY they where told from their distributor to sell them at that price. I wouldn't be surprised if they even fix the price in orders. Since the Deaths head is up at retail. Not surprised if that was a simple mistake.

Gentlemen, please stop whining on social media over a toy. It ain't a good look.
They are screwing Pulse members.
