OK, so there is alot of complaining, but let's start to put together the story of what happened.......... or could have happened.
Post up your SDCC Slaughter Conspiracy Theory. My Theory is simple: 1- Hasbro's hands are tied to the number of Sgt Slaughters they could make.. i am betting they could only do a limited run. I really think this is the big factor... Mattel/WWE/ Etc probably only granted a very small window. 2- The demand was simply greater than they had previously estimated. |

I ruined it for the hts customers for posting the joeclub had them and hasbro thought they may as well sell them all there for a profit while the scramble is on.

They sold out. Plain and simple. They did not want to be stuck with the exclusives after the show as they have every year with the other SDCC pieces across all brands.
I have a feeling that all of the SDCC exclusives were produced in lower numbers. |

There is no conspiracy.
They produced the limited quantities they had originally planned on, knowing what the demand was, but also keeping in mind that it was intended to be a limited edition exclusive. The Con came and the people manning the booth screwed up and didn't put a limit on the number of Sarges that could be sold. This resulted in them being sold out by end of Con. This resulted in none being available to go on HTS. End of story. No conspiracy. Just some booth workers not paying attention.

I was there and have to say, the regular version was still plentiful by the close of it on Sunday, I'm sure once that stock gets shipped out they will have to find avenues to sell it.

No conspiracy. They made limited run and Hasbro employees didn't pay attention to limits at the con.
Though I still believe there are regular versions out there that have yet to be unaccounted for. |
