Yeah, those sold out pretty quickly and I was bummed. I ended up buying one on EBay shortly after that for ~$80. The scalpers are better at staying on top of toy releases than the fans are. I've read that some even use bots to place orders very quickly. I am not sure how much truth there is to that but it wouldn't surprise me these days.
I miss being a kid and being able to go to TRU and seeing a massive wall of figures. That was the best part of my weekend every week. |

Or, even weirder, look up Disney Limited Dolls. Bots are slowly ruining online ordering if stores aren't protecting people from them.

I remember when people used bots to snipe auctions, I can't believe it was about 20 years ago.

My Chase was charged 30 for something Pulse recently but I'm not sure what. I have Snake Eyes and Legends Kingpin on order so I'm assuming Snake Eyes is leaving soon. Can't wait to get notice for the Arctic Storm Shadow and Red Ninja, but that will be a ways off...

I have 1 each of all 5 wave 1 figures on order from Pulse and all 5 were charged to my bank account on 07/02.
Here we are at 07/14 and I’ve only received a shipping notice for 1 figure - Scarlett. In my opinion this is not acceptable business practice but not surprising from Hasbro.

Still waiting for Snake Eyes.
