Glad I didn't shell out for Pulse Premium again. I got tired of getting the "early access" emails 10 minutes after something sold out. So dumb. The e-mail arrived today at 10:08 and it was sold out at 10:04. Pulse Premium is a rip off.

This. Couldn't care less about the figure. THAT SAID ... I'm glad I didn't want it because my Interwebz went out for like an hour the same time it went up lol. I guess I could've tried on my phone though.

Scalpers who think they're going to make a lot of money off these lol. FYI, they won't. Reselling rarely nets the big bucks. You do get lucky from time to time. For example, I was able to get the canceled and never released Chief Jay Strongbow WWE Elite figure on the Bay for $35 from a guy who somehow got a case of them. They now go from $800-$1000 if not more. I plan to see what I can get for it this week. THAT is a profit.

I am pretty disheartened with this one. I was ready to quit Classified when CI Firefly was the issue and I was only about 10-15 figures into the collection then too. But I thought about it after today's crap. I wasn't fast enough. But it will change my buying habits with the Joes. I am thinking without having OAMCC, what is the point of the rest of the Cobra-La team? If I get them, that makes the sting worse or not having him. I am hoping for a restock down the line, but this is a dark day, IMO of course. Congrats to all who got one, and for those who got more for the wrong reasons...well you know.

In a way OAMCC is a "2 pack" LOL.

I guess it is nice for those with a mind to do so to have the option of having more than one as then you can display one helmet on one helmet off.

First time in 7 years that I missed buying the SDCC figures...hope he goes back up or they do preorders and make it 2 limit whats with 5 limit...who needs 5 of a non troop builder...guess it was a bad idea to cancel membership a few months back...

I have to believe an item that sells out in 4 minutes will get restocked. Doing otherwise seems like a really bad business decision (but it is Hasbro we are talking about I guess).

I don't blame people for venting at all. While I have no interest in this version of CC, I had a similar experience with the original Eel. Let's take a popular army-builder and make him an exclusive. It has been proven that FOMO is real thing has it not? Shame on companies for playing on something that is a negative for people's mental state. Kind of like how the government up here will advertise their gambling sites which can be just as dangerous an addiction as tobacco, for which ads are banned.

I'm looking through the page source now but not sure what I should be searching for. Hoping to find something that has the value of how many were in stock when the page went up.

Mindbender absolutely sold out during the premium hour the first time. And so have MULTIPLE other offerings including Serpentor. This IS NOT new territory. It's the same old path that we've worn a rut in 5 feet deep by continually trekking the shit out of it. Including everyone worrying they aren't going to get a figure.

Making this 5 per customer should be a GLARING sun-bright clue they have a metric shit ton of these in the warehouse. Think about it.

That doesn't seem to work on the new and improved Pulse since there's no "reserved" in the script. If there's another way to tell idk.
