I guarantee this is because of Americans ordering figures from overseas retailers since the American retailers can't distribute/ship worth a damn. What other reason could there be?

I realize your guarantee is not truly that, so I AM curious as to the true reasoning. Not because I'm directly impacted, but just for the sake of curiosity.

I doubt the number of orders to the US is a significant enough percentage of overall UK sales to warrant such an extreme measure from Hasbro. Something is definitely up, but I don't think it's Hasbro punishing UK retailers. Curious to know more.

In fairness, the *outcome* is punishing UK retailers. They lose foot traffic, attention, and certainly purchases by consumers who know they can buy GI Joe Classified there.
Just want to be pedantic: they may not be *intentionally* punishing UK retailers, but they *ARE* punishing UK retailers.

Because they're treated like mushrooms.

But nothing with this line is ever obvious or clear.

About 25 times so far today I've sat back and marvelled that last night my cynicism was "boy I can't wait for Target to preauthorize October 2023's Target exclusive releases" and instead we got "Target tried to resell you last year's figures that already didn't sell and the cherry on top is Hasbro making a corporate decision to screw over European retailers and consumers, and reward the big box chains that spent the last year proving they can't do it right."
Like, imagine thinking last night that you'd get some late 2023 preorders this morning and somehow the reality is MUCH WORSE THAN THAT.

Frankly, I also doubt that its because of street date reasons as well because we've seen Lightning Collection and Transformers stuff hit Europe months before they ever hit here. I'd argue the main reason is because Joe seems to only be sold at small specialty retailers over there so it's probably easier for Hasbro to make Pulse the only place to buy it than ship it to a ton of tiny stores without the big box stores also carrying them.
