You are, in fact, right.

Back in my day, you had to GO to a store to buy your toys, or get to the toy show EARLY to get the good stuff. Skip work, if you had to.
Web site? That was the place spiders hung out. App? That was paint on a figure.

"I might have to type something." Kids these days, indeed.

I mean these will certainly be difficult to get for everyone, even if they do go up on pulse. And most likely limited (the RED figures are limit 2 per person)

so you asked others to help you get them because it would be easier for you, and you wouldn't "have to enter bits of info"

I'm only asking, not begging. If there isn't anyone to help but I'll deal. I made it clear. I work most of the day most of the week. If they come up it's likely I'm at work, and I don't have the ability to just stop my production work, pull out a credit card, purchase. So yes I'm sorry, I'm anticipating needing help. Everyone had difficulty getting these. It's not unrealistic to hope that there's a good samaritan out there willing to help me get one.

I'll try, but no guarantees. I feel the same way, actually- the ease of using an app versus a full site while I'm working is definitely appreciated, especially considering the fast paced, no downtime nature of my work.

In any case, I've been watching the page like a hawk since it went up, so if I have any luck, I'll see what I can do.

I mean If you're so good at ordering toys at work, by all means teach me. Teach me how I can stop processing packages at my work, stall my entire work area to buy toys online, and get away with it by my boss and I'll rescind my ask for help!

Should be easy for an esteemed master such as yourself!

Thanks a ton. If I manage to snag some for myself you can keep both. Hell we gotta see if CI stuff even hits the page in the first place. I buy infrequently on Pulse but I feel I should get that Pulse Premium thing just in case.

Damnit. One of my two preordered Vipers was finally cancelled by Target. Oh, well.

Man...These were so much worse on us than CI Wave 1. PopFindr even shut down for GJC figures for a bit. Not long but it was more than enough time to allow our availability window to close.

Here's hoping the "Partner Exclusive" section actually holds stock on these for more than 3 minutes. Timed Exclusive Hasbro. Do it.

Have you ever tried to order from Pulse's site on your mobile? If you are logged into your account and use PayPal it is a very quick process. Very similar to an app. There aren't many instances of actually entering a lot of info. It goes something like...1. Add item to cart. 2. Go to check out 3. Click PayPal. 4. Login to Paypal. 5. Accept and Checkout. It's much quicker than most sites.

To your point though HasbroPulse SHOULD have rolled out an app by now. I wouldn't be surprised if they announced one soon.

Get on the phone with them and find out what happened. They dared to tell me that I did not approve the most recent delay they emailed me. I asked them where I could forward the email I had confirming that their system did approve.

In the end, they sent me another dumbass $15 gift card "for the inconvenience." IIRC, in the end they refunded one of Firefly, the one Viper I did receive, and sent me about $55 in gift cards across the board. My only out of pocket was for the other Firefly (which I traded w/ firmpulse for a Viper). So net three figures and $32 in gift cards.

Ironically, I'm still incredibly mad about the whole situation.

You're mad because they acted with complete and utter incompetence and tried to act otherwise. Target gonna Target.
