I don't hate SDCC. I just wish Hasbro would stop selling integral ARAH figures as exclusives. Why sell Artic Destro to peg-warm major toy retailers when you could have instead had Zarana or Sgt Slaughter? I imagine Sgt Slaughter or Zarana may not even be made had it not been for SDCC but we get a Croc Master figure? Really?
I'd rather the SDCC exclusives be variants of an already released figure or vehicle. I would have liked to have gotten a "SkyScream" but its not a huge loss. I'm not going to be bummed over getting a silver head Pimp Daddy Destro or Black suit Cobra Commander. In actuality, I wouldn't be bummed at all regarding the SDCC exclusives if the process to purchase these exclusives wasn't so absurd. I wish Hasbro would just sell the inventory to a third party retailer or give it to the GI Joe CC to sell. I believe that would prevent a lot of scalpers from trying to gobble up what's left. Hasbro Toy Shop most likely is an outsourced company using the Hasbro logo as a moniker. Thus, they don't care about the fanbase. We should be mad at Hasbro and not HTS. HTS makes their money either way. Its just a bad experience. I don't mind not being able to purchase the items. I do mind the experience of having items in my cart not able to be purchased when someone 15 minutes later adds the same item, purchases it, and then I'm left without the merchadise I wanted to buy. Its just a bad way to treat a customer. Its one thing to have people at 11:30 gobble up the inventory and I'm left in the cold at 11:35. Its another when its "luck of the internet". Its like Hasbro opening a store with Gi Joe items everyone wants in the middle of the store....with NO RULES haha. Only a few will come out alive and with product. It just further proves Hasbro doesn't know what do with the Gi Joe Franchise either.
Blackman...which WM is restocking? I resorted to EBay to find my Lowlight.
