^ Makes sense. Marketing messaging means a lot, and the HISS will be the focus until it funds. I expect Emily will give the same answer at Comic-Con.

Two more sets shipped out to me yesterday. That makes my total 10 sets over 4 accounts. For some reason, when the CO/CT set first went up, Pulse allowed me to place two orders for 2 sets on one account. I will probably stop now. If they offered the Trooper by itself or in multiples, I would grab more of them.

I ordered one Officer/Trooper pack when they first went up, then another with my Stinger. They arrived at the same time. I am impressed with the product, NOT the process of figuring out when what ships.
In terms of the Officer/Trooper pack, I am overall happy. I have not 'fixed' my officer's knees yet. I like the extra accessories a lot. The "Grunt" M-16 is now on display in my V1.5 Grunt's hands. I notice that the...shall we say, "ribbing" on the trooper's shoulder straps are totally resculpted with different spacing. I also notice that the hole at the bottom of the torso where the O-ring goes through is HUGE. The lack of "standard buck" uniformity irks me, but I think it helps pose ability. We know there is more O-ring goodness coming next year, we just don't know the variables (time, quantity, # of SKUs). This was always going to happen though, with the toy cycle being 2-3 years. We are fewer than 9 months since the Skystriker and 2-packs were revealed. Everything we see in the next 6 months or so was planned in some form THEN. The Stinger was a risk, but a safe one because they planned a 100% repaint with the figure. Success or failure, I would not be surprised if the following are in the pipeline for 2023/early 2024: Scarlet (head already being sculpted) Ripcord V1 (already being sculpted) Clutch (VAMP body sculpted, waist/legs already sculpted, head and arms open up Breaker) Grunt (head and backpack are all that need to be sculpted) Viper Pilot (straight Trooper repaint) Short Fuse/Zap (Accessories halfway there, just need backpacks, torso, heads These figures could either be used to finish a line in the event of a failure or stall for time for more 100% tooled figures |

Current inventory shows the quantity of trooper officer packs to be 2098, which is an increase from 900something from a couple days ago. I can only imagine that Hasbro are either restocking, or they've received more product from factories. I wish we knew the totally limit to know just how well the trooper officer are selling, but it must be a good sign that Hasbro are adding more product.

You can use the inspect tool in Chrome and scroll down in the side plane that opens up.

It sounds like the same thing that happened with the SS/SE set where there was a replenishment of stock after an initial run. I think maybe they order two production runs of this stuff with the second run arriving a couple of weeks after the first. The SS/SE set sold out and was then replenished, while the CT/CO sets are being replenished without selling out. Either that means the CT/CO is selling slower, or simply that the initial production run was larger than the SS/SE run. Regardless, SS/SE wasn't replenished again after that 2nd run sold through, so I imagine it'll be the same for the CT/CO and this is the only replenishment it'll get.

I use a mac, and when I'm on the Hasbro Pulse page I want (like the CT/CO page), I press option+command+U and it opens another page with all the source code, then I use the finder on the top right corner of the screen (where the 3 dots are) and type "inventory", and scroll down to find the inventory numbers.
