I'm so tired of all the pre-orders and the long lead time for them. I also hate how they tend to all start hitting in a small window. So I've decided to cancel all of mine (assuming it's not an exclusive) and just wait to find what I can find later. At least then I get to decide when I spend the money.

This isn't a "I'm quitting" post.. I'm just changing my strategy now. Very few figures left are must haves to me.. so it won't hurt my feelings if I miss anything with this wait and see method.

I'm really trying to start dialing back collecting anyways.. so this is a best of both worlds approach.

I do love how McFarlane shows off figures and then they are here in a month. Really makes me fine pre=ordering those because I know when they are coming.

I really don't see how this is a sustainable business model. Dumping everything at once (it's not just Joes, there's Marvel and Star Wars as well) forces most people to pick and choose, holding off on non-priority pieces and impulse buys to absorb the fat bank account/CC ding. Seems common sense would dictate planning things the other way around, and spreading things out to maximize profits and sales. At this point, despite promises to that they wouldn't be doing this anymore, it almost seems deliberate.

Thats pretty much what i have done, there is just to many items coming out and no idea what they will cost from day to day now, like you, i am scaling back my collecting habits, i still think i will collect classified but since i never collected everything anyway, it is easier to be more selective, i canceled all my preorders with BBTS and will take a wait and see approach as to whio i will get as they are actually released, i do have some on order still with Nerdzoic and will keep those orders with them, but moving forward where figures are concerned, preorders are really necessary anyway, they will be out sooner or later.

Has everyone finally gotten their Dial Tones? I'm feeling survivors guilt for having gotten him so long ago now.
It's a bummer but it's also something Hasbro told us about late last year. As much as I gripe about their comms and transparency with customers, this is something they told us about. So I hear you on the sense of ennui around no releases, but all the same I empathize b/c Hasbro knew (and told us) it was going to be the case for a bit.

Now when we have $750 of charges in 7 weeks in Q3 of this year, ask me how I feel then.

It's worked that way for years now, it feels. At least after the pandemic.

I almost feel as if Hasbro doesn't think there is alot of crossover fandom for their IPs, though. I mean, remember when Emily said she had to sell the execs on army builders? These dudes aren't exactly tuned into how collecting works, how fandoms work, etc. They just want to see the $$$.

You also have to wonder if they push alot to certain financial quarters so that they can then say how great that quarter is doing?

At least it makes sense THIS YEAR with Classified, because of the Vietnam factory switching.

So, Hasbro...the lines you make in Vietnam are gonna be cheaper than the lines you make in China...right?

I think you said something about that a week or so ago and I still think you?re correct on that assumption I don?t think we?re gonna get everything this year. There?s no need to rush it either. Besides the fact that they just want more money we can all wait. Just give us a nice slow drip of some G.I. Joe classified goodness & we will be good.

I can't think of any other figures that haven't been announced that I'd be overly excited for outside of potential HasLabs. Maybe Golobulus and the rest of Cobra La or V2 Snake Eyes if they knock if out of the park with a new mold (not the same one that's been repainted 4 times).

Everything else can wait for a discount unless it's exceptional. I stopped collecting after '88 so no attachment to anything after that.

Well I'm in Asia. Maybe I can get some things in early. Really hate how they jacked the prices up before for predicted inflation and now they gotta jack them up again because of tariffs.
