    They must be doing something right if Hasbro is trusting them with Haslab Sentinel

    I doubt it. They get a lot of Hasbro exclusives, but almost never actually receive the stock. I had an order for a force FX lightsaber cancelled this year, and I’ve heard of transformers and Star Wars black series orders being cancelled a lot

    I'd like to see the posts if you can recal what page they are on. I'm not calling you out but it's one thing to take money on the hope they get stock and the other being deliveries going missing. I've had the later with bigger name stores and frankly it's just part of life.

    IIRC they had the Netflix Magnus Spoiler set up and cancelled them.... but I think we all know that was Hasbro UK's **** up offering it beyond Smyths

    Dear UK collectors, I live in an area of the states where it's super hard to get exclusives from Walmart, aka the netflix series stuff. Believe me I feel your pain, let me help you get them. I won't charge even a little markup, just cover the price of the item and shipping and it's yours, assuming this is any cheaper than what you have to do to get them now. If you're interested just shoot me a message.

    Well, unless you want home delivery, in which case they are almost always out of stock online.

    Oh I had no idea, everyone from the UK on the Hasbro livestream seemed pretty upset about the fact they couldn’t get Walmart exclusives.

    Probably just them anticipating Hasbro screwing us over since they sometime just won't bring over things officially so people are forced to import.
    We still haven't heard any news about what's going on with new Netflix line or the two Amazon packs that went up, but hopefully that should change this week.

    We were ok with wave 1 Netflix siege stuff as it’s a Smyths exclusive over here, whether we get wave two is perhaps a wait and see as we usually struggle with 2nd waves.

    It’s other exclusives with Walmart and target and a lot of the time amazon exclusives we struggle to get unless it’s one of our go to online independent stores.

    Thanks for the offer on the help though bud, most appreciated

    Does anyone who’s done deposits on In Demand know which order number will be marked as shipped, the deposit or balance payment? It’s my first time doing one, so I’m trying to figure out which one will say my Seekers have shipped

    InDemand Toys made a Facebook post saying they will be importing Amazon and Netflix stuff but they don't know about the Quintesson set yet.
    They are apparently having a meeting with Hasbro tomorrow and will hopefully find our what's going on distribution wise
