    I just called hasbro corporate and the lady said they were still counting inventory. she said they will have the toy shop release the info for the date before hand..... it this accurate, and what the hell is going on! seems like we are being dicked around or someone needs to update the staff as to what is going to happen. we are only a few big fans so they dont care but this is crazy.

    Poor timing for Hasbro to start experimenting with reverting to the abacus for taking inventory....

    I'm done. I already bought the G2 Bruticus off Amazon, I was just here to give you guys moral support anyway.

    EDIT: Also, did Hasbro promise you exclusives right after the convention? Christ, you act like it's your god-given right to have Bruticus, and them taking time to do things is some sort of personal slight.

    They just told me they have no idea when they will release... I don't know where people are getting time frames of 2 weeks, etc. I feel as though they "we have no idea" is the official word

    Lol if that's true I may never order from them again. Such bad service...
    First they yanked individual figures, expecting people to buy cases, and now they may put up the exclusives late... So sad. They used to be my go-to online shop, especially during TFA's run.

    How many different exclusives did they have? Can't take that long to count, can it?

    Yeah I think comfortably waiting until November for the G2 Bruticus sounds way better than sitting in front of a computer for two days straight.

    Funny there was never a delay with counting inventory until last year. Then it's the norm. Or at least the story goes.

    I'm giving it until 12:00 central and then it's off to the hardware store.

    That said, here is the REAL reason guys go to Comic Con. This will make you feel better. I prefer Pikachu.

    these figures make Hasbro $$$. Look at the parts of that Gem figure ... maybe no more than $3 to make and they have the ability to charge over $100.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they're tapping factories for additional manufacturing runs. Order now! Ships in 6 weeks.

    How long can it take to count inventory? Figure out the number of figures in a case, multiple that by the number of cases, and there you go.
