This may seem like a whine-fest, but I am just generally disappointed in the release of Classified.
- The Target exclusives (which are available in Canada at TRU, but bots and scalpers are buying out the quantities as soon as they are put out) - Scalpers and bots - yes exclusivity drives up demand which drives up excitement, and I know Hasbro doesn't want to overproduce and have inventory sitting in warehouses/store shelves. But the thing that just chaps my bottom is that the day of announcement, I pre-ordered the Storm Shadow Amazon exclusive, with a delivery date of Oct 5-7. Amazon says that it was out for shipping on the 5th, then I discover without announcement that my order was cancelled due to lack of availability. So even though I pre-ordered (didn't pay, but ordered), somehow that doesn't guarantee an "exclusive"! Yes, it may be a problem with Amazon, but Hasbro has taken what would/could be a great revival of the Joe line and completely perverted it though terrible business arrangements and distribution channels. I would have been completely content if the Classified line was completely Hasbro Pulse exclusive, made to pre-order instead of this Charlie-Foxtrot! (Apologies for the rant, I just needed to vent to like-minded people) |

Don't know how this is good for Hasbro's business, if you have lots and lots of people out there who want to buy your product, but simply can't.
Live in Denver myself, and roughly 20 Targets around the whole Metro area, and maybe 10 of them might actually stock them. And if they literally only get a handful per store.. So a city close to 3 million people is bound to get less than 100 of these figures? Not available on Pulse or anywhere else unless you want to pay double the price or more. |
