For me it's also the way the disappointment is expressed. It's one thing to say, "Well, shit, nothing I want is on sale, so it does me no good." and quite another to call it a "trash site" and start in on the "Hasblo" shit. In the real world, well-adjusted people with perspective don't complain about a company putting things on sale. They either buy something or they don't. In this "community" though...fuck, you'd think Hasbro somehow personally insulted them by having the nerve to put things on sale, but not the exact things they want or in the exact way they want.
The US sale is just okay if you're looking for GI Joe stuff - but 35% off is $58 for the Viper 3-pack; that's awesome tbh. There's lots of good stuff if you don't collect other lines but are on the fence - loads of Transformers and ML that were tempting. I got a Slaughter and Storm Shadow to open, along with the Star Wars retro 6-pack and Apocalypse ML figures - all that was about $110. To think I nearly spent $70+ on the Star Wars pack at preorder. But, yeah, if a sale has nothing I like, I just pat my wallet and breathe a sigh of relief.

Man, that sale looks tempting. But then I realize I'll have to answer to my family for all the boxes coming in and the money going out of the bank account!
So no go. |

Hmmm...I think I'll wait and see what the livestream on the 8th reveals about the future of O-ring. If it looks like I'll spend some good money on 2023 offerings, I may as well get the Pulse Premium to save on shipping AND get the better deal on this sale. But if it doesn't look like I'll make back the $50, I may not bite on anything.

Went ahead and got another Viper pack. Not bad for 63 bucks shipped.

The only thing I was looking for was the Duke/CC o-ring set. I already bought two sets of the Cobra Trooper/Officer (one to open, one to keep carded) but only bought one Duke/CC set. I might have picked up a second to open if it had been available - and would consider padding the order with Transformers for my son to hit the $75 threshold. No such luck, so I'm out.

The Joe troop builders were tempting, but I do not need to go any further down that road. I got the Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends set and the retro A New Hope 6-pack, plus some stuff for my son.
Solid sale. Interesting to see the time frame Hasbro considers effective for early adopter pricing. |

People can certainly disagree on toys - but I'd really like to know what people who are disappointed expected to see. Like, name what you were hoping for so we can assess if your disappointment is reasonable or not.
If you're mildly bummed that TF/PP wave 1 isn't in the sale, like, okay, that's not an unreasonable thing. If you're hoping for $39.99 Serpentors, however, laffo. Yeah half price on any con exclusives you're dreaming. They know they can sell that stuff full price. Hell not even the better retro SW stuff is included. Anyone remember how to check remaining stock? Could swear I saved the instructions but of course can't find them now. Feel free to PM. |

I looked through it, and while there are lots of great items, nothing jumped out as something i had to have, most everything that is available that peeked my interest, I already have and or dont really need.

Dude, gross man.
They get to choose what you buy and you need to buy 75 dollars worth of it to get the 30% discount. That and all the prices were bumped up, meaning they're telling you you'll get those old 20 dollar 15 dollar prices from BEFORE THE PRICE HIKES. WHOOP DE DOO, you choose what I buy and also hike the prices up and then discount it back down again. If you don't have Premium to get free shipping, the threshold to making it worth it is actually around 100 bucks+ of merchandise.

Yeah, man. You have to buy stuff to take advantage of sale prices. Who knew?
