Might as well throw the figure away if printing a new shipping label for the box will only net $50 in profit. Meanwhile, poor Hasbro charged $40 for a figure that probably cost between $0-$40 to manufacture. But that's just me assuming this convention exclusive wasn't some kind of loss leader. Ha.

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.

If I can add on to this, something doesn't add up just on the nature of the character itself. OAM CC is not Dr Mindbender or Serpentor, it is a variant of a figure coming out based on a controversial scene in a polarizing moment in Joe history. Even back during the reveal, there were a lot of people here on the boards saying they were going to pass this figure because they didn't like the moment it's referencing.

Building off of that, if there are say, 10,000 figures each of Mindbender and CC made, does it really make any sense for this CC to be as in-demand, if not more so than Dr. Mindbender? Even though it's popular, it's still very hard to contest, and I have a very difficult time believing OAM CC is more in-demand than Mindbender.

If there's no update for the rest of the day, I would maybe say there might be a restock for Pre-orders or something on Friday judging by how they like to put up restocks then.

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

Death's Head was previously announced to be Fan Channel, not just Pulse exclusive. It doesn't reflect on Hasbro's plans for OAMCC. Hopefully, there will be a restock like some of the previous SDCC figures.

Dwight told us SDDC was the "first to market" implementation of Death's Head. He wasn't "exactly" a SDCC Exclusive. Although that wasn't revealed until the Con was underway. CC is a 100% SDCC Exclusive.

Just a reminder that if you pay with paypal and skip the last part of checkout it doesn't even ask for the phone number (you can still use the same payment source of course).

& if you do want to pay with card and the phone number is being a bother try putting it in with the country code and (missing zero) and no spaces it likes that format and seems to accept it each time I use that trick.

Even though it won't let you actually save it that way in your personal details.

The glitching site is even slower than having to "put up with" Paypal security phone calls too. (well at least when they are 4 digit codes - the longer ones are a chore as you have to actually listen to the call).. [ yeah great for deaf people there Paypal ]

Ah, I was not aware of that.

I didn't say it wasn't a decent profit. Just pointing out that something that sells for $120 on eBay isn't as big of a profit as it seems.

Also, it definitely did not cost $0 or $40 to manufacture....
The range is probably more like $5-$15

It really doesn't make any sense when people buy $20-25 figures and sell them for $40-45. Those scalpers only make a couple bucks per figure and I can't understand why they even bother.

Deaths Head was announced as a fan channel release at SDCX and he was only a first release exclusive. That?s probably why Marvel was the only team to discuss their SDCC exclusive during the hasbro panels

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

If they have/had a gazillion, then why did it sell out in 1 minute?

Not sure why it would benefit them to release their real stock in several piecemeal allocations? (Though this has happened before). Just to create an illusion of rarity?…or just playing it safe because they aren’t confident in the actual stock numbers?

Trusting anything said on Reddit is the first mistake. Always, always listen to your mods here. We will make sure you have accurate info. We had people at SDCC and a Hasbro rep said on YouTube this would be much limited and only remaining stock from SDCC would be available.
