Hasbro is the equivalent of receiving a terminal diagnosis from a Dr. and going on about your life as if nothing is wrong.
Everybody - "Whatever happened to that Dr.s appointment you made?" Hasbro - "Oh yeah, almost forgot about that...I think it's in June. Everybody -"really? that's weird, because somebody called from the Dr.s office and they said your appointment is for May 19th" Hasbro - "They must have called the wrong number, it's a really busy office." Everybody - "The pharmacy at Target?" Hasbro - "Yeah it gets pretty craz...hey what's that over there!?!?"

I realize there's all kinds of stuff wrong with that analogy but I don't care.

It's really getting impossible to argue against this. The silence on Hasbro's part is the worst part. Just from a corporate business point of view - to simply not address or acknowledge your customer's complaints - that is self sabotage.
I just can't believe they let the social media team release a statement - "official announcement for Major Bludd coming in June!" when he's been leaked for two weeks already - and our own research shows that he will be in stores on May 18th. It's like every Hasbro team is doing their own thing - and no one is communicating with each other. And it's all just 'jobs' to them... nobody is really a fan of the property or even action figures in general. Just going thru the motions. Quote:

Is there any possibility May 18th is just an arrival date and that it will soon be assigned a June street date? Or does Target not get stuff in that far ahead?

Target exclusive Retro Boba Fett Prototype went up for pre-order today at 1PM. From 1:00 to 1:05 I searched, using multiple devices:
Boba Fett Retro Star Wars Prototype Boba Fett Prototype Retro Boba Fett I even opened a separate window and went into their Star Wars tab and clicked exclusives!! Nothing came up!! At 1:05 the link showed up on Twitter. Clicked it, and.......SOLD OUT!!!! Oh Target, you consistently sneaky worthless bastard. Not really shocked, but worth a try. F'n Target.

Why would you want to be able to pre-order the figure for a retail price when you can just wait for it to be released and pay 3-4 times that price on EBay? It's so much better! /sarcasm

Don't get me wrong, as a collector, it sucks, but that is how I understand the principle.

Store exclusives are something I don't really ever expect to see as pre-order or able to purchase from a website as the whole point is to try to drive customer traffic into the stores. If I could buy it online it would defeat the whole purpose.
Don't get me wrong, as a collector, it sucks, but that is how I understand the principle. I get what your saying, in terms of overall corporate logic......**But** Over the past couple years I have successfully pre-oredered and received several exclusives from Walmart, Best Buy, & Game Stop. Only Target is this dickish about their exclusives.

I've been extremely lucky about acquiring the Target exclusives up to this point but I expect my luck is gonna run out with the good Major.
