Aww, bad luck Wedge. Here’s hoping some great news later today cheers you up again! (I have no clue what Hasbro has under wraps...sadly, I am not any kind of insider, so I am not hinting at or implying anything...just expressing hope.)
CC, I have no clue whether they are exclusive or not, but I bet we’ll have a clear indication by the end of the day. Maybe the artist formerly known as HTS will offer some at some point. I hope so. And, you’re welcome for the news. I like sharing it and helping...it’s a nice antidote to the often justified by always exaggerated whining that appears on so many of these boards. Even if in a couple hours this thread is full of people making predictable complaints about 5” and 8” and distribution and 5POA and that girl from Ipanema, at least this thread will have gotten something constructive done today! |

Did Pulse have the Gamorrean Guard available? By the time I got over to the site, there was no entry for him.

The only updates I’ve seen are that EE showed a carded image of the fan channel clone, and JTA ran a photo comparison article with the new Gamorrean vs previous versions, which are very very similar, except they omitted some paint apps on the weapons. Sometime soon(ish) a whole bunch of places should be putting up preorders for them, EE, BBTS, Dorkside, presumably Pulse. But I would have jumped on a preorder if I saw it, and I didn’t. 95% sure it was just regular wave 4. Last edited by books; 02-16-2019 at 10:34 AM.. |

This holiday is such a wild ride of up and down emotions. I look forward to it every year and then am an emotional basketcase all weekend. |

I apologize that I contributed to the exaggerated whining today. I was just frustrated. You are right: There is bound to be good news around the corner.
This holiday is such a wild ride of up and down emotions. I look forward to it every year and then am an emotional basketcase all weekend. What I meant to be criticizing was the type of poster who only signs on to post endless harangues about how all products from all companies are total crap, how all collectors are either fools or shills, how entire generations of people or entire demographics of collectors are garbage or trash or cancers, etc etc. You aren’t that guy, at all. |

No worries. I need someone to call me on my behavior sometimes (this weekend especially). I think everyone who is passionate about this hobby has to step back and remember that it isn’t life or death. It’s just toys, and we all find what we want eventually.
Anyway, I wasn’t offended by what you said and agree that we should all be positive and contribute to the fun. Now, where are all of the reveals? |

I think last year it wasn’t until late afternoon that ToyArk got around to posting Hasbro shots, though it’s possible I’m confusing last year’s Toy Fair with last year’s SDCC.
In the meantime, is everybody familiar with the new 8” Hyperreal line? |

Not likely. When I got on all everything was in stock and no GG. Unless it sold out in seconds and they pulled the listing as quickly, but doubtful.
