Well, Slaughter was always going to be really limited. But with Zarana, there was no excuse not to have plenty.

I don't understand why they can't get a handle on the demand.

Jesus, the site is already basically crashed and there's nothing new up.

We're a captive audience, and it's better "hype" for the company and the brand when products are perceived as limited/high-demand than if they linger on the website for a month or three waiting to sell out (ala the 2009 Destro packs...even longer for the 12" Baroness IIRC).

As you guys sit wasting your time on HTS for SDCC exclusives ;)
I will put the call out for Dragon-Con...2013...a MU thread event (I don't think that breaks Tank rules as Tank isn't in the event name). I am planning on going unless the zombie apocalypse happens....I imagine we will have to start planning within a week of this year's dragon con being over...rooms sell out quick for the following year I heard.... Who's in--or out? i hope to get about 10 people minimum set to go... It's either this or Charlotte Heroes-con if there is more interest in that event... Those will be great trade fodder for me when I get those exclusives for you while you are in class Quote:

They should do attending and non-attending preorders plus extras. I don't think they will ever get it just right. They had a TON of ROC Destro sets. But they should know by now to boost the site and have plenty of product. It's not like it won't sell out no matter how many they make.

Last year I got everything I wanted in my cart with no problem, updated the quantities, no problem. Then I couldn't get through checkout and most of the stuff sold out before I could get done.

It'll never happen. I have told them year after year they should setup a fucking pre-order system if they're not going to bother enhancing the server once a year for this shit and they never go for it. And I give Terrordrome some credit for nicely sticking it to the Hasbro team over this shit. SDCC isn't for the fans, it's strictly for the scalpers at this point. When you have people walking out with sealed cases of items, you know that it's not going to the fans.
What's sad is HTS has joined this secondary market stupidity before. They started getting figures graded and posting them on HTS to sell at high prices. That shit didn't fly very well and it certainly didn't sell very well.

I am attempting to run test trials with the current items on the site, and each time I attempt to add something to my cart, the site crashes. Already?

The problem is that I'm pretty sure the factories making this stuff doesn't usually do it "to order." So a preorder system could end up leaving HTS with god knows how many "extras" (if the preordered amount came up just above the "next step up" threshold). Would they eventually sell out? Probably...but it might take quite a while. Or maybe not happen at all (see: The exclusives that are still on their website as we speak).
Exclusives (particularly SDCC exclusives) are pretty much meant to be no-risk items. Hasbro's not going to put themselves into a position where there's even the chance they might lose some money on them. |
