REMINDER SDCC Exclusives up on Hasbro Toy Shop today July 28 2015

Reminder: the Kre-O set sold out fast last time. Don't sleep on it if you want it.

Another reminder: if you want stuff just to sell for profit, go after the Magic cards (if they even did those this time around?) and the Stormtrooper. The TF stuff will totally not increase on the secondary market. Totally. No reason I'd say that on a TF board or anything

10:09AM EST and nothing. I'm thinking more towards 10:30. FYI another reliable source has told me 12PM EST but obviously I can't confirm.

LOL at DoS

My fiber is running extremely well this morning. Hooray for being a network admin!!



To be honest, the only thing I wanted to buy today was the Converse Chuck Taylor II's. I'm entertaining the thought of SDCC Devastator..

Do NOT tell people to go after the Stormtrooper for profit

Can confirm. I barely squeaked out with the class of 1984 last year (3rd or 4th left before it sold out) and intend to repeat the performance this year.

Might try for the femmes, too, but that'll be an impulse buy.

I want one too, but it's totally happening anyway so no harm in joking about it right?

THERE IS NO HUMOR IN TOY COLLECTING!!!!! FYI the exclusives tab disappeared a few days ago, look for that or a link in their SDCC announcement.

I can vouch for that storm trooper, the hasbro booth at SDCC was overwhelmed. And this being a big year for star wars, the SDCC exclusive will be uber wanted online. Not for long term, but for the short term, it will be a very in demand item.

Don't agree with him! Keep this up and Chuck Daddy won't be able to get one, literally all I want is one

I was just referring to this insane story: http://www.bleedingcool.com/2015/07/09/sdcc-15-star-wars-fever-hits-hard-comic-con/

People almost died getting this thing.

People will die if I don't get one, not really.

Those stormtroopers ARE going for around $80 on eBay. Assuming it stays ~$25 as it was at the show, that's a huge increase.

There'd damn well better be a Limit 1 on those things or I'll be tempted to scalp, like the scum I secretly am.

Nothing yet, and now I want one of those Stormtroopers!!

I don't know you, but I hate you already.

By the by if they're not up by 11AM I'm feeling 12PM EST. Also I think after today we'll start seeing a drop in the price of some of the SDCC stuff just because there's more out there.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:I don't know you, but I hate you already.

Femmebots, gentlecons, a new motto is born.

And a desire to buy the Stormtrooper before my old pal Chuck can, but I'll suppress that unhelpful thought.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:

HA! I wish you get one. TO be frank though, I saw the figure and I have no clue why the demand is so high. How is it any different to previous Storm Troopers?

Also, it kinda blows that the exclusive figure happens to be a troop builder

I don't assign much predictability to the time this stuff goes up. This is year number 8 waiting on it and there just isn't a pattern. The fact that there's even a date this time is a pleasant and welcome surprise!

I'm sure it uses a LOT of tooling from the original Stormtrooper but the helmet is different. New weapons too.

It'll go up when they feel like putting it up... like when everyone's out to lunch

I was thinking that too, I'm sure they'll try to have things live by mid-day EDT.

Arby's is a Level 15 planeswalker and has to keep up.

(I have no idea if that's a good joke or not. Whatever.)

MTG is serious business!

11:02 and nothing new. I do find it funny that on the hour there is a bit of a slow down on the site, like a million people hit refresh at the same time.

I wonder what the collective weight loss is going to be from the whole fandom skipping lunch. See HTS does care about you!

Ahahahahahahaha like everyone waiting doesn't have Doritos and/or Mountain Dew at their side.

:looks to his right:

:has a Mountain Dew:

Well dang.

Yeah, once once they go live things will really start to crawl.

Just coffee for me and a banana

Ok some real talk on bananas though - I think once they're brown-ish and somewhat mushy they're compost, but my wife tells me this is how most people prefer them because that's peak ripeness. I'm more into them while pretty much all yellow and still somewhat solid. Is this odd?

F*** you Hasbro y r u doing this to us!!

THE SHIELD IS DOWN! COMMENCE THE ATTACK!

Combiner Hunters, Rodimus, and 2 StormTroopers are mine! Good times, everybody.

I like mine somewhere in between. But the browner ones are great for cooking/baking. They are sweeter, just mushier.

Agreed I actually like them most when there's still some green in them. just a lil bit green. Although I've heard that brown bananas prevents cancer.... umm.. its upppppppp!!!!

Stormtroopers are out. Trying to remove it from cart so I can check out on these other things and the site is just borked.

Those troopers sold out in a hurry. I had 2 in my cart, but held out hope for the TFs... and they were gone.


Can't hesitate.

Moving pretty slowly..Rodimus and Skywarp are now "Add to cart"

I got the MTG set, the hunters, the kreons, and the ML set and then wen to check out. I figured the Storm troopers is going to f*ck with my check out process so i opened another page to order them separately but the sold out.

btw they wouldn't let me check out with paypal either.

itscramtastic wrote:Moving pretty slowly..Rodimus and Skywarp are now "Add to cart"

Right click "Add to cart" button everything you want to add and open in new tab. When done, go to last new tab you opened and close the others. It'll load your cart with all the things in it, no back and forth.

Got my Lady Robots and Kreons. It was less painful than ordering the Steel Core trailer a while back. Hooray!

The slowdown is unbearable... two more screens to get through. Baby, baby hold together...

Site's crashed.

So I guess it went live at 11:30am EDT

Good luck errybody! I'm off the site, nothing ordered

I've been trying to delete this stupid stormtrooper from my cart for 20 minutes.

Aaaand good enough. Got my Kreons.

Farewell, Stormtrooper. I take solace in knowing you'll be available for $15 sometime next year at retail.

Can't believe I actually managed to get the ladies with the big ass swords!

The thank you page failed to load after I clicked purchase but I let it sit and eventually got through to the confirmation page.

i was (slowly) able to navigate a combiner hunter, but no order confirmation email yet...

Transformers Exclusives on Hasbro Toy Shop is now Live!

Go get them while they're still instock! Please note that the site is extremely slow at the moment.

Marvel Legends set sold out.
