Who Got Jinx and Who Didn't?

[sbartek1974]

Just curious who was able to order Jinx and who didn't.

No crying! Just who got her and who didn't. I don't want this to turn into a "flamefest" and get closed.

[RolandofGilead]

Got mine. And I am very happy to say this is the first time since Pimp Daddy Destro that I was able to obtain both the regular and exclusive versions off of HTS.

[shawnspookcity]

I got them at SDCC. I was trying for another set, but they were gone in no time on HTS

[DarkSkyMind]

Got both!

[c_money_collins]

I had both in my cart and the stock ran out as I was trying to go checkout. I literally never even had a total price on the shopping cart page.

[MonkeyBoyZ]

I got neither. I was up away from my desk to use the restroom after having been refreshing it so often I think I have a callus.

[evopete]

when did they go live.. I was going to see when it was going to happen and just to find out the boat has come and left.

[nerdsgetchicks]

I got nothing!

[bluesparrow]

One of each.

[Zarana]

Zarana did.

[MonkeyBoyZ]

Grats to everyone who got the ones they want.

[Delorean]

I got both versions of Jinx, but I had to resort to eBay and I ended up spending a total of a little over $90.00 for the pair. I really did not feel like wasting so much of my time on the Hasbro toy shop website waiting for Jinx to be put up for sale, especially when the odds of picking her up were so slim.

[slim19722]

I got both AFTER I dropped $88 on both from ebay last week.

[humantorch]

I was able to get both. I am going to sell them. All I really wanted was the HISS Tank. I am going to use the money to help buy the Starscream/Cobra Commander Striker SDCC. I have been wanting it for over a year now. I wish Hasbro would sell the Transformers/GI Joe crossovers outside of SDCC. I think it would do really well in comic book stores.

[Typhis]

I had the White Jinx in cart all I had to do was place order and BANG she was gone SOLD OUT!! But I did get Red Jinx!!!!!(else where)

[ceraurus]

Got one of each.

[Davestro]

Got Skyscreamer and Zarana and this year...nada. I'll get them down the road somewhere since there is no new product until next year!!!

[VideoViper]

I managed to get a White Jinx, Plus some fodder figures I preloaded.

After last year of missing out on what I wanted because I tried to get the StarStriker too I went for only what I wanted, & still would have missed out if I waited a few more seconds.

[sbartek1974]

Just curious, but how much was the set on HTS? Shipped.

[dorian247]

Im still hoping to trade someone for some Joecon stuff for some sdcc stuff, Ive got a signed white Jinx by Larry Hama, Red Jinx, and Shockwave Hiss. I just want the 6 oktober guard figures. Maybe once demand for Jinxes and hiss go up...

[Cobra-La]

I got a set.

[sbartek1974]

Im still hoping to trade someone for some Joecon stuff for some sdcc stuff, Ive got a signed white Jinx by Larry Hama, Red Jinx, and Shockwave Hiss. I just want the 6 oktober guard figures. Maybe once demand for Jinxes and hiss go up...

And I'm wanting Darklon and Voltar for my two Jinx.

[MunkyX]

I spent my one morning of free time away from my booth at SDCC getting mine. Got my allotment of 2 red and 1 white. Kept a pair and gave my extra red to a friend that couldn't make it to San Diego.

Hasbro's lines are ridiculous... 'nuff said.

[swafus]

With the help of my coworkers I managed to get 4 red

[CG76]

Zero.

[Turtle Master]

My plan was to use the white Jinx body to make a v5 Scarlett.

If anyone has an extra white Jinx body, let me know.

[mav55mdash]

Still looking for a tanker to help me out. looking for 1 of each... PM me if you can help out a tanker..

[tuan_tran73]

Nada for me. Ebay will get my support again this year. :(

[THALASTDRAGON]

I didn't get her. I was delayed even getting in on the action. I stopped paying attention for a bit expecting a longer wait. Foolish.

[jeffafa]

I got a rock.

[joefan76]

nada here

[cerpintaxt]

Got both versions for the same prices as a Red Jinx I was bidding on last night.

[BCDX97]

None for me. I forgot to check today after being online Monday and Tuesday at noon. I guess it was not to be. The whole deal is a sucky pain in the ass for any and all involved.

[Hit & Run]

I got a rock.

Hehehe. Poor Chuck.

I grabbed mine on eBay during Con week. I knew I wouldn't have the patience to sit on HTS and stalk them.

[cgcommando]

lucked out and got back to the computer at the right time. was able to get both jinx and hiss tank and check out in less than a minute. good thing i was logged in and memorized the security number on the card to prevent delays. last year, i had all three joe peices in my cart and had the wrong number for the card at checkout and lost them all.

[FadetoBlack2880]

Didn't even try.

[CVdelgado]

nothing here. i blinked at the wrong second...

[sbwy80]

I did not get either because I was at Target.

[dpstro]

I went directly to Ebay. Yes I paid more but less hastle.

[Hawkeye]

I didn't.

Had both taken right out of my cart as I tried to check out. I think that steams me more than anything.

If they sell out before I get there, fine. But once it's in my cart?

[CobraOfficer999]

Didn't get her. Hope to later though.

[Red Sox]

Came up empty because of the log-in glitch.

[theprocess]

I got to read this thread.

[wrw311]

I got both and I would love to trade one for a zarana! PM if your interested.

[sbartek1974]

I got to read this thread.

But did you read all 5 pages?

[WVMojo]

In cart, out at checkout. So nope.

[KungfuGrip]

Missed out on both, went to go make breakfast, came back and it was done.....

[Mr Duke Togo]

I got lucky and scored one of each, even though I had to update my cart mid-checkout when the Shockwave HISS sold out. Snagged one of the SW Carbonite sets too!

[Xerofall]

Missed them. I was going to sell a Hiss to a Tanker in London for cost if I got one, but my good intentions fell flat. Figured it was good karma, but it just wasn't in the cards.

[RogueWingnut]

Nope.

[theprocess]

But did you read all 5 pages?

I'm a little slow, almost there (Page 2)

[supermanblue]

Had em in the cart and then sold out at check out. Would love to get the white jinx. Maybe someday.

[switchback]

After Slaughter and Zarana I didn't even bother, went disc golfing instead, alot less stressful. I'll just pick up a yellow one next year and paint it red

[cobraEdaco]

I got them both.

[Viper Commando]

1 of each, plus the Shockwave Hiss on HTS. Also got a second Jinx (red) off Ebay shortly after that.

[A.C.T.]

I got nothing.

[JoeMama]

I need both.. Willing to pay $50 shipped.

[A.C.T.]

I really just want the red one to open. Falcons lonely.

[Brcall]

Both got snagged out of my cart on the final step of checkout. My wife said she was going to stalk the sh!t out of HTS to wait for the restocks to try to get them for me.

[psb81]

I got them both. Only wanted the vintage homage red Jinx though. Picked up the white Jinx to trade for a Zarana that I missed out on last year.

[Mermaniel]

I got both versions (well, in the mail anyways) thanks to my good buddy Str8cash! Woot woot! The variant I will scalpt on ebay though.

[Cdt Weasel]

I didnt, I was way late to the game, here is hoping my ebay purchases come through ok. Shockwave was what i really wanted though.

[Python_Puckman]

Nope, but hoping BBTS pulls through for me.

[EvilOne]

Had her until the system kept my shopping cart reading $0.00 for the total. Couldn't proceed with the process. By the time I opened a new browser and logged back into HTS.... I had to delete her from my cart because they had sold out. Epic fail!

[spot138]

Just the plain one for me

[camper]

Shows both with a total in my cart, but out of stock. I was w/in a c(-at) hair of ownership.

[WildCard]

No Jinx for me. Got the Masters of Evil, Helicarrier and SW Carbonite set. Maybe that was my mistake, took too long to add everything to my cart and by the time I went to check out both Jinx(es?) and X Force set were out of stock.

[MeLikeJinx]

Who's that? Never heard of her... at least that's what I am trying to tell myself. LOL.

[CrimsonGuard101]

Was denied due to cart theft.

[Marine-73]

I got one due to the efforts of a great man,...STR8CASH!!!!!!! thank you again Bro.

[Bub]

NOTHING!!!! WAHHHHHH! Okay, I am done. Guess it is ebay for me....

[kingphilbert]

I decided to use ebay while SDCC was in pro just to avoid any other headaches. Sure, paid a bit more than HTS, but at least I have one coming.

[LG]

I grabbed mine off of Ebay, anticipating HTS shortages. She showed up today, and the seller just inserted it into a padded envelope and dropped it into the mail. She's squished. Ugh.

[Bub]

I'll buy her off of you at a reduce price loose!

[CG23]

Had one of each in my cart and could not complete the checkout

[LG]

I'll buy her off of you at a reduce price loose!
Heh, nah.

Best case, the seller will have another still and we can swap out. Worst case, I'll eat it and just open her myself.

[boomer77]

I got nothing!

Ditto here ....

[The BLAY]

I got all three exclusives.
Now I wish I hadn't bought a red jinx on ebay

[Owner of a Lonely B.A.T.]

Nothing here.

Dropped the ebay on red though...still want a white ang that Hiss or at least the BAT and Destro.

[sbartek1974]

How much was the Jinx set on HTS including shipping?

[Xenos]

How much was the Jinx set on HTS including shipping?

It was $15, and they usually charge about $7 shipping on a single figure. Add in tax and I would guess it worked out to about $23-$24.

[shinbaiken]

i got both, but the shockwave disappeared from my cart during checkout....

[youdoitimbusy]

Holly me crap batman....I got nothin

[sithlordsmart]

Got my red jinx

[Raw Dog]

Unfortunately I sneezed when they became available so I wasn't able to get one.

[gijoe071681]

i got both red and white

[Tracer]

I picked up a Red Jinx on Ebay. Gave up on HTS.

[a1veedubber]

I had my account logged in already at work today and remembered to check between two jobs. All were available! I managed to get the variant Jinx as I already have two red ones on the way to me. I must have been lucky because it looked like they only had them in stock for a few minutes!

[dmess]

I got jack and squat.

[Nyloc]

I had to work. I got nothing. Oh well.

[Cody]

I did not get one. I also did not try to get one. I am not going to pay that much for a single figure that I feel should not be an exclusive. Pimp Destro, sure. Business suit Cobra Commander, sure. A figure that was part of the basic vintage line, nope.

[Scotty97]

I had one of each in my cart, but by the time I got through checkout I only had the Marvel Universe set.

[osiris]

I didnt. I work as a mechanic and so before i started to work on a customers car i checked hts on my phone and nothing was up. then 5 min later after pulling the car in BOOM sold out! all i really wanted was the shockhiss but really bummed i couldnt get anything.

[Bravo Sierra]

Not me.....I don't get to buy toys for me as much.....my son is waaaay into star wars figs. Its cool though....I'm into it. Its fun.

[chickenbroth]

I did not. Although I bought a set off of ebay, I was hoping to score a set from HTS for openers. Oh well. They were gone way too fast. I wish HTS would have it set up that once an item is in your cart, it's yours till checkout.

[Tauron]

I didn't get them today from HTS but by sheer coincidence both versions of Jinx that I bought from ebay arrived today, from two different sellers, and picked up a second Red Jinx on ebay for my display case. I like to display the modern versions of the 80s figures. I didn't get a Hiss either but found one on ebay for less than BBTS had it listed so it wasn't bad. I spent a bit more than HTS would have charged but I'm still pretty happy with this year's exclusive halls for me.

[LUCKYDUBE]

Got both JinX and the X-FROCE and MoE sets. I wish I had got the pony. Does anyone have an extra pony? I'm glad i didnt get starscream last year because I would have had to go for the H.I.S.S. Tank and I think if I had gone for the H.I.S.S. Tank I would have lost both Jinx and maybe the X-FORCE set.

I need Derpy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP ME OUT PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dewrag]

Just curious, but how much was the set on HTS? Shipped.

The two Jinx and Shockwave were 112 total inclucing shipping. I think the total shipping cost was like 10.50

Here ya go:

ORDER TOTAL
Item Subtotal: $94.97
Gift Wrap: $0.00
Shipping: $10.94
Tax: $6.35
Discount: $0.00

[turner]

Good job bro, helped some people out.

[9deadjoes]

gonna help a few more

[atomsmasher]

I did not get her. Didn't know she was out until it was to late.

[THALASTDRAGON]

I'm deciding the max that I'm willing to pay for her now.

[Magick]

I kept putting stuff in my cart and before I could get to the check out it would sell out.. so i get to shop Ebay.. for both the SDCC stuff and the Con figures.. As I got screwed on both of those this year. Oh well.. life goes on.

[Firefly9145]

I got one thanks to a tanker(tofujesse)

Red jinx

[X-factorz]

I was playing the damn G.I.JOE Spec Ops game with another collector when they went up. I checked before the game started and when it ended, I went back and they had all been put up and sold out.

[Dawg99]

gonna help a few more

sweet hook a brother up

[Kaboomskie]

Not yet, but I know I will.

[McSoundwave]

Zarana did.

Jinx? Hmmm. I'd like to see that!

[beef664422]

got one off of ebay sunday night before they hit bts. paid more than I wanted to, but $40 after shipping wasn't TOO bad.

[CornDog_The_Ninja]

I kinda wanted one. The red one mostly. But I work at night, so staying up all day to F5 was out of the question. So I didn't get one.

Ironically, they came online right after I went to bed. If I'd stayed up just a little longer...

Oh well, life goes on. No nerd rage here.

[Energon Viper]

Did not want. No maskless head with blindfold.

[sparks007]

I got both Jinxes and a Hiss off eBay for a little under $200 shipped on the first day of SDCC. Made a trade for another Red and white Jinx to open. I wasn't about to stalk HTS for 3 days to try and save what turned out to be about $60 my time is worth way more than that.

[sbartek1974]

I wasn't about to stalk HTS for 3 days to try and save what turned out to be about $60 my time is worth way more than that.

^^This^^

But I did get a little pleasure watching others stalk HTS on those 3 days. :)

[KingStalin]

I got both and the Hiss tank.

[SonOfMindbender]

This was the first year I didn't try. I will get her eventually.

[ChaplainAsst]

I got both and the Hiss tank.

Same for me. I was incredibly lucky.

[cmderinchief]

No worries here. I missed out but did manage to get the carrier. I feel good.

[Steel Brigade]

Got both versions yesterday from HTS, one white, one red! My brother did too.

[Xerofall]

I got sloppy seconds today.

[Hellion42]

I hedged and got a red one off of ebay over the weekend. Then I lucked out and scored one of each and a Hiss yesterday.

[Tomax & Xamot]

Nope, didn't score either...

[Coil Member]

I F5ed for three days straight. On Wednesday I started watching Taboo and got sucked in. I missed the frenzy after all that vigilant waiting. Ha ha. I got beat :) After market it is!

[The Real Winner]

I was a security code away from getting two separate sets. I had put a white Jinx, HISS tank, and Derpy in my cart with my credit card/shipping information and checked out with that. Had time to log out, log back in with my mom's log in, get a red Jinx, white Jinx, and another HISS tank in the cart, get to checkout, and not know the security code. They were still in the cart as I called my mom on both the house phone and her cell phone...but no answer. :( THEN they sold out.

[GMunny]

lucked out with a red jinx today, first SDCC exclusive, and I'm totally opening her.

[MonkeyBoyZ]

I got my red one today, maybe. I got lucky and was still watching the HTS site while working and saw some available at 11:30 or so am EST. I wonder if this will be like this tomorrow also. Maybe they are slowly adding quantities to make sure they can fill orders that get charged? Will these be offered at the NY CC?

[CrimsonGuard101]

lucked out with a red jinx today, first SDCC exclusive, and I'm totally opening her.

After cart fail 2012 yesterday I was able ot get 1 of each i wanted today at the terrific price of 14.99 cant beat that with a dollar.

Might as well....HTS is notorious for destroying the box/card art...I ordered 5 POC Vipers and everyone of them had their tops of their cards bent at a 90 degree angel to fit em in the box...one of them had a huge cut accross the bubble from a box knife too...has happened 9 times out 14 orders from them over the past 4 years...My 2 SDCC Cobra Commander I got were in a standard bubble mailer...totally flattened...I open all HTS.com purchases as a result...

[Jay West]

No worries here. I missed out but did manage to get the carrier. I feel good.

Yep, like all exclusives she's attainable. Just depends how much effort you want to put in it.

[CrocPotMaster]

I had pretty much given up on Wednesday (for the day anyway) and was playing a game, refreshing every time I equipped something. I got REEEEEAL lucky and got all three. Then today a Target was holding a Ninja Cruiser for me and sold it before I got there on my lunch break, and I got stuck in traffic for an hour on the way back. The universe evens itself out.

[CrocPotMaster]

I did not get one. I also did not try to get one. I am not going to pay that much for a single figure that I feel should not be an exclusive. Pimp Destro, sure. Business suit Cobra Commander, sure. A figure that was part of the basic vintage line, nope.

I'm honestly baffled here, and not trying to flame. Just needed to say that, I think. Do you really feel this way about Jinx from HTS? I totally get your point ebay wise, but for 15 and shipping, that's too much? I get it if it's your way to "take a stand" about the exclusives topic, but if you really think 22 or 23 for Jinx is too much when most Retaliation figures are 10 bucks each and have less than half of the accessories, articulation, and details of the Jinxes, and none of the nostalgia or fan love. I know you can't please all the people all the time, but what is your ideal set? Like, how much should they charge per figure and what level of detail should they have? RoC, PoC, 25th, 30, etc. I'm really interested in this, honestly. It may be the beer.

[tuan_tran73]

I got her off eBay. Does that count?

[GI C]

Well,a buddy of mine helped me out but I wasn't able to get one on my own either.HTS really needs to put into account that people accaully have jobs and some don't have access to a computer.
