Hi, was there anyone able to order wave 10 figures from HTS? They are showing out of stock on HTS and I wonder when did they become available online? If you were able to get some wave 10 figures off HTS please let me know. Thanks!

I had that same question. It seems like they went from "coming soon" to "out of stock" pretty fast.

I don't think they went up for sale. usually, we have enough eyes on this site to catch the moment they do and announce it. the likelihood that they went up for sale and sold out without a Hisstank member noticing it and letting the rest of us know isn't very high.

Very fishy, Hasblown, very very fishy...

Slinger speaks the truth. There are enough tankers here monitoring it round the clock that somebody would have seen it.

I'm glad this question was asked. I was wondering how I had missed out without hearing a word on here about them.

That site just doesn't make any sense sometimes.
How did they sell out with out being available?

I check throughout the day most days and they have not been available for purchase during the day that I have seen. Now if they came up overnight, then I cannot tell you.

I have been checking threads here and elsewhere since they first came up, were taken off and brought back up Out of Stock. No one has reported getting them from HTS.

HTS "Coming Soon" and my "Coming Soon" I have learned are quite different.

i refuse to buy online as these things should be in stores readily available not forcing us to buy online and pay their high shipping.

Not to mention every time I've ordered from HTS, the figs have arrived scuffed up on the bubble. I guess if you don't order a complete case's worth, you end up with messed up figs? What's wrong with this picture?

I think it's actually a good sign that they're "out of stock" at the site... for instance, when I was checking price scanners for the Rattler / Conquest every day at Target, at first the number would just show "in stockroom = no" but then two days before they arrived, the scanner indicated which aisle they were slated for, and the same "stockroom = no" indicator.

So my theory... hear me out... is that HTS distribution has received shipments of Wave 10, and they are in the process of removing the figs from cases and putting them in to bins for picking for orders. Once the figs are all put in bins, they will run through and do an inventory, then update their systems, and VOILA.

So my fingers are crossed, for one. It'd be nice to find something on my Saturday run this weekend. Meaning ARIZONA you'd better see some damn wave 10 tomorrow or things don't look good for us here in Cali.

The discount code "pony10" should help to reduce the shipping charge. It depends on where you live, in some areas, it is really hard to find things in stores plus the gas prices so I have been buying Joes online instead of trying to find them in stores.

That has happened to me a few times in the past. On a side note, I want to get some more of their protective cases but the price has gone from 9.00 to 14.99...lousy Hasblown! Is this how you treat your loyal fans?

I agree with your theory, but with HTS it's always the same thing. They pop up first thing in the morning, and because I have to work to make money to spend on these. I have to find out when I get home and find out that HTS had'em and sold out in record time while I was at work.

When they're up as Coming Soon and then moved to Out of Stock, that usually means they'll actually be In Stock fairly shortly. That's been my experience with buying SW from them for the last 2 years. I'm pretty sure that that's what happened with the SDCC fun fest a couple of months ago too.
