Because this isn't a retaliatory move like some are suggesting. This is most likely just due to the number of units they actually sell in Europe. Joe is a very niche product over there and it is probably easier for Hasbro to do it through themselves than a lot of specialty shops.

"I can't wait until product ships so people can stop complaining about products not shipping" is not quite the company-bolstering argument TSB thinks it is.
I make very good use of my time *and* I don't have to hop on here to defend a $6B global corporation and earn $0 for the effort. This week I spent many hours in the gym, hung out with friends, went to a concert (one more on Sunday), got in a full work-week, leisure-read half a biography, and I'm gonna go skate tonight with friends and grab some beers after work. I'm as happy as can be about life in general; the only thing that lets me down in life right now are toys and the political state of our nation (which I ain't getting into here). Y'all wanna point fingers about wasting time and unhappiness? Look elsewhere, your smarmy barbs mean less than nothing to me.

I even clicked on a random Facebook post from FULL FORCE PODCAST, and there you were in the comment section. What was the content of your comments? You guessed it... complaining about distribution. I couldn't believe it, I literally laughed out loud. I lean to the side of positivity when it comes to toys. If I felt the need to post 30 comments in two days complaining about ANYTHING, I'd quit collecting. That said, the windowless packaging is a disaster, and the rising prices caused me to cut my purchases by at least 30%. I am not a Hasbro apologist but page after page after page of the same complaint makes the thread unreadable. Last edited by TheSteelBrigade; 09-23-2022 at 04:29 PM.. |

I step away for a day and all hell breaks loose! Finally caught up on 10 pages of posts. I guess no more Star Action Figure orders then? And of course after my epic rant about quitting Hasbro a couple of days ago they drop the D&D cartoon figures and I could not frantically order them fast enough. Dammit.

I think the new D&D Cartoon line is the story of the day. I ordered Venger from Pulse but I'm going to wait until the other figures go up on BBTS or DOrkside or Amazon, no way am ordering anything non-exclusive from Target.

well, Emily is lying again then.. unless Hasbro PULSE is not part of Hasbro. Cuz the figures that have been arriving overseas for months were also sold on Hasbro PULSE: Tiger Force Outback Python Patrol Viper Python Patrol BATS and also Stalker Tomax and Xamot and now even Dusty Crimson Guard Zarana |

Yes, it SAYS the stuff is shipping next week. But the issue is Hasbro, through Emily, has said since May that Target has had these IN HAND. So why was there no date originally and then suddenly there is a specific date if Target has had these since May?
That's the frustration. The manufacturer is telling us "Oh, yeah, it's all shipped to the stores!" and then Target has basically been saying "What Joes?" for half a year. |

I have to agree with you. Just did the same with Venger from Pulse. I wonder when the other three will go up at other retailers?
