If they made as many as Chuckles then I’d expect him to linger on Pulse for a few days actually. Even Mindbender came back in stock or didn’t they order more? Can’t recall.

It's lagging. Darth Maul says in stock until you click on his page, then it's sold out.

Well, I managed to order what I wanted, despite Hasbro's broken website making it difficult for me.

Death's Head is in stock so I "should" get him next week, and Cobra Commander isn't out for some weeks yet. Fortunately "after" The Rattler payment is taken at least.

Paypal pay in 3 (the UK equivalent of some territories pay in 4) however still isn't working on the Pulse site even on "in-stock" & in hand ready to ship items. Which is vexing when other stores like HMV for example they have Pay in 3 work on even pre-orders (which is useful when the shipping date is close by).

Just not handy when I'm trying to budget for a Rattler really.
At least they don't take the funds until they ship.

But Hasbro shot themselves in the foot as I think I may have to cancel Low Light & Spirit (even though I kinda don't want too).

This is new territory.

If they don't do another pre-order for later delivery, this is going leave a really bad taste in Premium Members mouths. Like, the Pulse twitter is a-buzzed with content creators calling for people to cancel or not renew their Premium Memberships because of today. At least with Death's Head, he's going up again on Fan Channel at 7pm today. Why isn't CC getting the same treatment?

The Target Cobra Island debacle was also annoying, but, it was Target, so dealing with exclusive toys is hardly a priority for them. Pulse, on the other hand, makes a big deal about ?Early access to exclusives for Premium members?. It is a big part of their pitch to sell memberships. Memberships which cost money. They should definitely have known how to handle this better.

Yeah my low point was early on when I almost had to fight a grown women (on the phone with her husband) over a Baroness with COIL in the toy aisle of a Florida Target, ha.

I agree, it's certainly bullshit. I hate cons, and I hate con exclusives. But don't let this one figure ruin the hobby for ya.

It seems strange that Hasbro wouldn't make sure to let people know that OAMCC would be going back up again, at some point, to keep people from being so angry about how quickly it sold out. Not to mention, it feels like Hasbro is actively driving the scalper market by not communicating whether or not this is a one-and-done or if he'll be back up for sale again later.

I think this is very smart and would do well for any exclusive, especially con exclusives.

I think the re-manufactured Mind Bender at least twice. The last Batch was notable in that the Cape didn't stain the figure like the earlier batches did.

Has anyone checked the numbers sold on Pulse through the page source?

Huh, let me use PayPal with no problem.
