as o 22:48 UK time Well Hasbro pulse is back up.. not working properly however the menus only work if you scroll upwards as otherwise they auto open the submenus and cover up the options (i.e. it doesn't work properly)

All the images say "Null" it's all black colourscheme now.

The US version isn't much better. I'm trying to update the shipping address on some of my "July 15th" orders, and it either says I'm not allowed to change the country (which I'm not trying to do), or the oh-so-helpful "Something went wrong."

There's also a link for making changes to orders placed prior to 7/12, which takes you right back to where you started.

More like I'll have to hide him from the kids.

At least I won't have to worry too much about losing any of the weapons, they'll all be getting swapped out anyhow.

I've bought 99.9% of my Classified stuff online (probably about 200 figures at this point, mostly from Pulse and BBTS with a couple handfuls from Amazon) and have never had a single one swapped, windowless or window packaging. I live in southern CA (have lived in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles until I moved to Huntington Beach last year), so basically the biggest metro hub of the country.

I do something similar too using a box cutter. I do the same for my TMNT Ultimates since they are usually pretty snug in the tray too.

Man, I remember the little white boxes the mail aways would come in back then (GI Joe and Star Wars). I have vivid memories of the day my brother got hooded CC in the mail. I already had the regular version, but that hooded mail away in the navy and red and gold blew me away.

That makes a lot of sense and it seems like it definitely could have been the reason why they picked February. February is also a good month to kick off the year for bigger budget blockbusters since January is typically a month filled with award-worthy films getting wide releases for award season.

Maybe his mouth would be mostly gone or his lip and some teeth are missing? But I also don't feel like most Cobras need their faces shown, so I'd be fine if we never know what he looks like either.

I was under the impression that the phrase "cut his teeth" was a euphemism, meaning that he was initiated as a pilot with the strafing runs, not that he was disfigured? Just a thought. The IDW run showed him in some really good stories with Scrap-Iron and Copperhead and a few others and he looked normal there. Correct me if i missed something though!!!

[dfaehling]

Also, the Pulse site is a mess - very disorganized, product from lines like Classified in different spots, some saying in stock then when I attempted to order, even with it in my cart, just disappeared. So I'd keep a wary eye on ordering anything for a day or two?

[Ash Talon]

I didn't think you could order from Pulse right now, as the site is undergoing construction.

Not saying it's your fault because it isn't but In your example situation with the inspected blind boxes I would have thrown away the packaging and sold it loose or made the first picture show the box obviously already opened.

This is my experience as well. They don't read descriptions. I will show a picture of the opened box first to ensure they can't use that excuse.

Youre not lying the description will say loose w/box or loose figure and theyre like what does loose mean like the figure has loose joints . People are so dumb .. makes me hate selling almost anything ..

Still believe the best thing the 25th line did was have the mail-in Doc figure. That was so cool getting him in the mail like the old ARAH figures as a kid.
