I kind of get the feeling there might have been some pushback at some level of management towards doing the relatively niche characters at such premium price points. Especially as Hasbro seems to be pulling back on the number of Leaders they do in a given year To begin with.
Victory Saber...
Actually, the Beholder does NOT sport the movie title. And the descriptions note these are both from the film and lore, so I suspect we’ll see some more dragons, just to reuse the tooling.
I DO dig them. Been a while since we got a nice “Not Transformers converting” toy from Hasbro. I also...
I enjoyed them, but the Dooku ones were especially strong. While the final Inquisitor ended being a non-thing...he still had a damned amazing design that seems wasted in this context.
I would LOVE to see Filoni and his crew tackled the sequel trilogy with later "Tales of the Jedi". His work...
I haven't seen a Walgreens exclusive in bulk since Ratchet. I saw a, literal, COUPLE of Bluestreaks after I ordered mine. Red Alert never appeared at all.
Seems whoever the toy guy was when Walgreens snagged all those exclusives got ousted during the pandemic, and the new people don't care...
I'm a little surprised at a new Haslab before Victory Saber has even shipped, but it's a nice offering. And a reasonably "fair price" relative to the stuff even at base support.
I AM a little disappointed they didn't drop a Rise of the Beasts teaser or something during this.
So, Hasbro's doing an "exclusive" Pulse presentation at 5pm EST. I will NOT be posting a link :p
But for all us Pulse Premium members, a thread to discuss...at least until we see what they have in store?
More Legacy reveals?
Studio Series?
Maybe a preview of the Rise of the Beasts film and...
Keep the order for Serpentor. If nothing else, I suspect his resale value in the next couple years will be better so you'd at least be able to make back the money and then some. Or you'd have it when you fancy having a fancy Serpentor and the secondary market is 2-3x the price :p
I've got preorders on Pulse for "my essentials": Recondo, Bazooka, and the Viper as well as Duke. I'm confident Hasbro will do me right with these. I have ZERO faith in the Target preorder system
Entertainment Earth had inventory of that two pack several weeks back. By and large, EE has been pretty good about picking up extra inventory from retailer exclusives, so it's probably worth it to keep an eye on them going forward.
For fans of Spin Master's 4" stuff, Amazon has the Batcave from The Batman not only marked down to $20, but currently has a $5 off coupon ON TOP of that.
The design is open enough that it could work with any number of 4" figure lines as well.
Assorted other stuff is on sale with coupons...
Amazon has the BAT and Cobra Officer on sale with coupons. Each is marked to about $22, with an additional coupon for $5.50 or so off each.
For 3.75" fans, The Batman's Batcave is getting a $5 coupon ON TOP of being marked down to $20.
Well, Lightyear was thorough disappointment in many areas...including toy sales. THAT MEANS SALES!
Amazon has almost the entire Hyperspeed series marked down to some degree, including a lot of later wave items that have little chance of hitting retail. I snagged the XL-14 for 11.99 with a $4...
And in fairness, only 3 Dinobots ever made it out during G2. I'm probably game for a G2 Grimlock, but at current (and a likely $60 by the time they get to them) price point? I'm just not sure I can justify getting more than ONE G2 repaint, much less three and definitely not FIVE.
Coupon must have expired, dang.
But it's still worth keeping an eye out, Galvatron feels like a prime suspect for greater discounts this holiday season (I got Siege Shockwave for about $30 in a similar situation)
