    Yeah, I just ordered the Pit on sort of a dumb mistake on my part.
    I was already going to back HeroQuest and saw the 30.00 shipping for it and thought "Oh well...shit, that sounds like a good reason to get Premium!"

    Turns out, after reading the fine print, HasLab projects are not included with the free shipping benefit of Premium. DOH!!!
    Oh well, I order enough stuff off of Pulse where it will pay for itself eventually.

    But yeah, I can confirm that there are definitely still Pits available as of now.
    I don't think it'll be a stress to get tomorrow either.

    I mostly just made this post so people don't make the same mistake I did.

    Wonder why heroquest doesn't get the free shipping. Unicron did by virtue of being over $50

    Unicron didn’t get free shipping. That cost was already baked into the price. You just don’t see that part.

    I did the same fucking thing....but free hasbro pulse shipping for a year, so with the pit set and the 4+ figs being released saturday it'll likely wash out.

    Plus I think the last e-mail said you had to set up the Premium Membership by the end of the day yesterday, so it's probably too late for that.

    Transformers Generations War for Cybertron Deluxe Centurion Drone Weap – Hasbro Pulse
    Product Description


    Limit of 2 per customer.

    I ordered 3 Centurions . One of my friends ordered 4. All of them shipped. Same was true for every other Pulse exclusive, and for Unicron, too. The limit was only set that you could NOT increase the number in your cart over 2.
    The whole "per customer" thing is a mistake, and has been, for as long as the first Selects toy release. It actually means "per order".

    My friend ordered 4 and from the same card, he just did 2 orders. They shipped just fine.

    me and other members signed up for pulse when they went live and were able to still order them. So that email yesterday was not correct. As you can still sign up now and order your items.

    Just checking. But whoever ordered multiples of a certain exclusive. Has your multiple order been cancelled?

    I just want to give a little word of advice on this. The SDCC exclusives in years past they have been much more strict when it comes to their limits. They hold shipping orders until they double check all orders. They then will cancel orders if they are going to the same address or the same person. This is why in years past weeks after the exclusives come out they will come back in stock it’s actually from canceled orders. Now there will always be people that do get through but just want to give a word of advice there’s a chance both orders will get canceled if you do that. As that has happened in years past and I’ve known people that have ordered one for themselves and one for their “wife” only to get zero with an email stating their orders were canceled because of multiple orders.

    That's semantics. When you proceeded to checkout with Unicron, regardless of if you had premium or not, the shipping was listed as free, therefore from a technical perspective the shipping was free.

    It still falls under the free shipping on orders over $50, so that should still apply

    What you said was true from a certain point of view. :lol  Seriously though, yeah, it's interesting that Hero Quest didn't get free shipping, but that's not a deal breaker for me personally. I think my total with tax and shipping for the Mythic Tier was $195. Well worth it for what it includes.

    ah well guess im not getting the quint set.

    I only really wanted the bailiff anyway, and I wanted at least two. im not fighting with the exclusivity and stress of trying to get them for that.

    I'll need more than "I am told by people my second cousin's classmate told about this happened" as proof of this. 'cause I never heard about it.
    And since the other exclusives are also labeled as "2 per customer" yet are "2 per order", I don't see why SDCC would be different.

    Someone on the Pit topic showed it -CTRL+U shows the page in HTML view, then just search for the text "Inventory" and it shows a number next to it.

    877 left? Certain points of view? I think it's pretty clear what's going on.
