I consistently told them I'd like two things, nothing else: 1) fulfill my orders 2) connect me with someone in corporate who can explain the fulfillment/logistics failures that led to the orders being delayed and canceled. Every time; "we understand, we apologize for the inconvenience, have a gift card." "we understand, we apologize for the inconvenience, I've refunded your order." Every time the message was clear: "shut up and go away."

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. I physically saw Troopers twice, BH 4 times, and RB hung out for awhile. I have not seen FF or the Viper in the wild - ever. Couple this with the Popfindr blocking and it was bad. Can't wait for wave 3... |

Check out this video. As always, take it with a grain of salt, but it’s some positivity.

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. |

Isn't it amazing? Despite the debacle that was wave 1, wave 2 was actually worse.

The only CI figures I ever saw where the 5 Vipers I got. Never saw Wave 1 at all, even Roadblock. I got a Baroness from a local and even then I paid over retail and it was sheer luck that I called it before the other dozen or so locals who wanted her.
My weekend hunting trips involves 3 in my city, 2 more about 20 miles away, and then 2 in the next state over. This isn't including the same number of Walmarts I'll hit up too. Within the timeframe of CI wave 1 none of the Targets I hit had any. Only two of the Targets I went to ever had Wave 2. Hell as far as I know none of us on TFW's Portland OR area locals saw a Firefly either and me and only one other guy saw Vipers. |

I am glad I just recently started collecting other toy lines.
Transformers studio series 86 Marvel Legends 6” DC multiverse 7” Star Wars black series 6” Finding and buying all kinds of cool figures. Have over 50 preorders with BBTS. Bought a bunch of Stars Wars figs on ebay that are not in stores. Looking to do the same with Marvel. Gijoe I still look for. But don’t expect to find anything. It is the last toy line on my mind as of late . I have preorders with BBTS. So I will get Joes eventually . Until then I have other plastic crack to buy !!! |

I'm holding on hope on that Partner Exclusive page. Hasbro has to know. They HAVE to know that barely any collector got the Cobra Island stuff and it's an Ebay exclusive. I can't imagine putting up a page like on that on Pulse and not eventually getting Cobra Island stuff also. |

For wave 2 I was at least able to get them on release day so it seems like the distribution was a little better, but I haven't been looking since then so I am curious how many later shipments there might have been. |
