    I decided to cancel my MP-19+ pre-order. It's showing available to add to cart if anyone wants it. (Pretty sure it showed sold out before.)

    I worried that the hand/foot pegs will be stressed as easily as Rippersnapper. I’ve had two different rippersnappers have the peg connector crack when I formed Abominus.

    It’s a much different and bigger pain to have that happen to a figure twice as expensive!

    So far I see Hasbro pulse as a wonderful upgrade over the old HTS site. The easy access to all the Takara Tomy mall exclusives and MP releases is a very long overdue. Not to mention the ability to pre-order future waves of figures.

    When it comes to the whole Pulse Premium membership, it is nice for the free shipping, but that's all I honestly expected out of it in the first year and especially for free. The early access to SDCC released items was a nice bonus, but if they wanted to take it one step further, they would allow premium members to pre-order items ahead of SDCC next year, even if it's just for one day.

    Over time I see the premium membership being worth more and more, esp for people attending SDCC or other events with a huge Hasbro presence.

    So far in the first year Premium members have gotten the following:
    • Free shipping on all orders
    • Ability to reserve a time slot to purchase items at SDCC
    • Ability to reserve ticket to attend Hasbro's special after hours party at SDCC
    • Early access to SDCC items on the HP website
    • Wasn't there a SW related thing that Hasbro pulse offered premium members?
    Not too bad for something that was given away for free. Assuming that's all we get next year as well, is that worth $50? For me probably not, but for others it just might be.

    Personally, I think the "early access to SDCC items" is diminished by the fact that it was only a set amount, separate from the "main release" (the latter of which now has both non-Premium folks and Premium folks who didn't get in before other Premium folks). If early access is a benefit, there's no need to save a set for non-Premium members. Either it's a benefit of Premium membership or it isn't.

    I think the way they do it now is best, because imagine the shitstorm if non premium members never got a chance at those exclusives

    They can just be told, "you get what you pay for." Let the storm come.

    I'm guessing you loved the red card requirement for Red Wing too.

    One doesn't pay for that, so I actually find even less reason to complain about that.

    (Full disclosure, I have a Redcard, but have not, and will not, order Red Wing, nor any other Siege Seeker so long as they're infected by that battle damage deco)

    Has anyone who scored exclusives this week gotten any kind of update of their order? Either from FedEx or HP?

    It took about a week for me to get a shipping update from my Hulk order. I imagine the same for this week's lot. So, I'm anticipating an update next Weds-ish.

    I bet next year the early access SDCC figures will have a lot less competition if everyone has to pay for the premium service. This year most people got it for free. So maybe they’ll last for five minutes instead of three. :lol
