So okay, I caved. I went back to see if I missed the Baroness placeholder. And yeah, they have her placeholder on the shelf. So for the one that was asking...

Please tell me this was at the Northgate Target around 9:30 AM! If so, I saw you guys getting into the case while I was standing at the top of the escalator! I was kicking myself for not getting there a few minutes earlier/noticing the pallet. I already have wave 2 on order from Dorkside so I wouldn't have bought them anyway ;D

God those were the days. Would love to wander those isles one more time.
I didn't even go look today. I am patient. Will try the online pre-order 2nd round or try to pick em up on ebay after the initial hype dies down. Even pre Covid I didn't have the patience for it. |

Sorry, didn't mean arguing, more like complaining. They like you kiss Hasbro's ass on this site for some reason. Why did they want you banned?
I completely agree with you, it's a shit show and most on here have front row tickets and are cheering. I've had better luck getting every gaming console and mini on pre-order or launch day than I've had tracking down these figures. If I had not argued with managers, and not just this day but a couple weeks ago, I'd not have any of these figures because I've not seen them at all on any shelf. So yeah, you can sit back and not get anything or try to hold them responsible for their screw up and get what you want. I doubt this will ever be like the 80s where you can walk in the store at any time and find lots of them on the shelf. Online pre-orders will sell out again in less than a second and they will be gone from stores in the first hour on the 14th. If you are looking for wave 1 figures, Amazon sells all of them directly for retail cost but Destro. To get the Snake Eyes for $19.99 you have to select New & Used to see the shipped and sold by Amazon listing. I got Destro from GameStop and it shipped pretty fast. You can also find all but red ninja for pre-order on Amazon as well. https://www.amazon.com/Hasbro-Classi...et_feature_div I ordered the figures I wanted from Hasbro Pulse. Still wanting on Deluxe Snake Eyes. I pre-ordered Storm Shadow at Amazon. And I tracked down the Cobra Troopers and Beach Head locally in store and the tweet worked. But yes I have never seen these figures on the shelves I don't ever plan to see them on shelves going forward either. I just read on the He-Man forums that Walmart employees are reporting random dudes walking in late or early and walking out with arm fulls of of entire stocks of toys. I actually saw some sketchy looking dudes today early at Target walking out with a ton of Lego. I was like whats up with those dudes? They are the professional scalpers. And that is what adds to our frustration in this hobby and it can quickly turn into angst and anger. We are not just having to deal with Hasbro's poor distribution problems, poor store management, other fellow collectors, but professional scalpers who may just be out there following hot trends. We really saw them revealed back in March when hand sanitizer and Lysol disappeared overnight. Guys went around entire regions cleaning them out in a single day. They do this with other hot products too. Hasbro and others need to adopt the Super7 model of pre-ordering. All of this would be solved and we could just sit home and wait for all the figures we want to be mailed to us. |

If that's true then she won't be in most stores as I've been to about 15 in the area and only 2/15 had any labels at all on the shelf and neither had hers. There is no limit on purchases so far as I've bought 3 troopers. They would have to update their system to prevent you from getting multiples and we all know how well they are at updating their system.
