What's the point of being a Pulse member if other outlets are shipping the damn things out before Hasbro?

I've stopped thinking of Pulse Premium in terms of "worth it" financially and more about the peace of mind it offers in the case of those exclusives you know are gonna sell through lickety split like Mindbender or Serpentor. It's like belonging to a social club - think of it more as an "admission fee" than a fringe benefit and it makes more sense (while that also makes it even worse b/c you start to realize you're paying the company for the privilege to pay the company).

Free shipping on Pulse exclusives, I guess? And the early-bird access to purchases too. I went with Amazon because I'm not a Pulse Premium member and Pulse not offering free shipping on a $90 purchase is stupid.

There are enough things that only Pulse has, or are hard enough to get if you aren't a PP member, that makes the stress reduction mixed with free shipping "worth it."

I just canceled my Megatron/Baroness on Pulse and went with Amazon. BB/Stalker are up next.

Hasbro definitely need to offer more products to support the line.
The retro vehicles were cool but I don’t like me figures. I missed the hiss but the hiss3 was easy to find. The o ring figures sucked me back into joe and I fear I would buy all of the figures but I can’t get them if they don’t release them and I’m not buying a transformer to get stalker and baroness despite really wanting them. I even bought the sun in colours - I only wanted cc and I got it half price. Duke isn’t terrible but I would prefer the original colours. I really want the original team but s mix of newer one would have scope and maybe some new figures that were never made like dr venom or snake eyes in his dress greens

The way I see it is - proceed with caution. Whatever 2022 has shown the team is probably that there is a market, but its not a huge market. Not all items sold out on Pulse, and thats a small market. So Im sure Hasbro dont wont to increase massively what they are putting out. I do hope that does mean they will continue with releases but it might be on a small scale, similar to what we have seen in 2022. That is unless a retailer wants to pick it up. If one of the big retailers wants to take it, then obviously we sill see a bigger range. If not then we have to accept $20 per figure.

Yeah, I'm about to do the same thing. Looks as though the Joe floodgates have opened, here's to hoping it's a sign of supply chains catching up and not just a one-off.

Guys, there's no need for doom and gloom yet. I obviously have no insider knowledge, but we did hear that a soft reboot was in the works, and we also knew well in advance that Pulsecon was to feature Classified news only. It's a bit early to start proclaiming "death of the line!!!"
