Yeh that's the big thing with this tariffs situation. It's new to the states but other places already had some exposure to it already. Though I think Canada just gets screwed the hardest

Whenever I'm in Asia, I would always see new things there earlier than here. I picked up some of last year's SDCC exclusives in HK before SDCC even happened.

Not Classified related, but Mattel put up a MOTU Origins release (Hurricane Hordak) for sale yesterday at noon.

I ordered it at noon yesterday.
It shipped today.
It delivers tomorrow.

I understand it's a matter of logistics semantics in a lot of ways, but that kind of sales model really underscores that Hasbro's roulette wheel of "when will it arrive" is not consumer friendly.

Who would ever dare to speak of such efficiency!

I passed on HH for now but yes, Mattel really has their shit together when it comes to these online drops.

By my count there are 20 figures that have yet to go up for preorder. This includes 4 two-packs.

I can think of a few times they put something up and it shipped inside 6 weeks after pre-order, but it doesn't happen that often.

When it takes them so long to get around to listing something and then when it finally shows up it is still most of year before its street date it does feel a bit tiresome.

I think it would be nice if for example when they put up the AWE Striker Preorder the shipping date isn't like next March or something like that.

I'm OK chipping away at my army building - but it does get to be a problem when releases cluster as well not only is it expensive. It also means long periods of 'not much'.

Also considering how cheap (and how quickly) the Marine Corp Sniper and Halo jumper got after release - it makes me very reluctant to order the Fire Fighter for full price. If I can potentially buy 3 for 2 if I wait just a few weeks.

Kinda like the problem with Pet sets so often getting cheap quickly.

Though I have not really seen a cheap Raptor that wasn't American stock yet. So I expect he will show up cheap to me too before to long.

I would though have liked Crystal Ball to ship a bit quicker after pre-order as he did in America. That seemed to me that was what Exclusives were supposed to do 'ship quickly'.
