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.

Recently sold items show it selling for around $120. That's a difference of $80 just for slapping a new shipping label over the original one and sending it right back out the door.

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.

I was able to get Mindbender the first time with a non premium account, so he didn't sell out during premium. I remember people saying Serpentor lasted through premium as well and I still missed it.

But yeah this order limit was bizarre. I'd like to hear an explanation for 5.

Not exactly. There is about 15% eBay fees and the cost of shipping. So its only a profit of around $50ish. Could be less depending on if the seller had to pay sales tax and/or shipping when they bought it from pulse.

I had to put the phone number in multiple times. I was thinking the whole time that I would not get CC before sold out. All thanks to the phone number bug.

You got one with a non-premium account when he went up and HOUR later. He sold out during the premium offering the first time. Sepentor went up several times. My buddy and another Mod here got 6.

I gave you an explanation. Five per is not bizarre if you've got a gazillion and don't want a repeat of Chuckles.

The Pulse UK site is such a cluster**** it has many new items completely missing from any Gi Joe search results or tabs, and they are ONLY on the Pulse Exclusive Tab.

Yet other are on both.. no logic to it at all. & it still put old out of stock items at the front of the search results too. (regardless how you filter them) not that hard to have a tick box that says "In stock pre order only" "In stock only" & not show things that sold out 2 years ago front and centre is it ?

So yeah if you are new to the site you won't even see the Stinger, Alpine, IG BAT, Iron Grenadiers, Spirit & Low light, MM Sarge and others at all if you search for G i Joe (oh and the search isn't smart enough to give proper results on GI Joe it only works on G I JOE or G.I.Joe.)


yet the Quarrel & Falcon Pack and the Twilight & Steel Corp Commander pack do show up... giving the illusion new items are being added.

They are likely going to get lower sales because of that screw up I suspect.

Also Ironically OAMCC is 3 per customer in the UK (still in stock too I would add) and the IG Bat is just one per customer.

I guess they could have a gazillion, but why piss people off now by only offering a handful today? Seems like it would have made more sense to at least let non premiums have a shot.

People are losing their shit in most of these GI Joe groups.

Death's Head on BigBad. Keep an eye out for the Commander, maybe.

Hopefully there’s a restock soon. I didn’t manage to snag him but I’ll take a wait and see approach. I think that this is a definite letdown. I’ll probably pass on anything connected to Cobra-La if I don’t snag a OAMCC. I guess this might save me a few bucks so there is that.
