    I think that larger point was that Vulcan, and many other products, are currently 68% off on the HTS eBay store, rather than just the 30-35% of the warehouse sale.

    And some items are cheaper on the eBay store even with the discount at checkout... like the example I gave. $8.00 + $7.99 in shipping is $15.99, which is less than the $17.49 it will end up costing you, plus shipping.

    Not to mention Leo Prime basically looks like if G1 Prime became a lion. I don't blame them for packing him 2 to a case instead of Tarn.

    Leo is selling fairly well at retail, Tarn just appears to be selling better because he's shortpacked and most of us are specifically hunting Tarn while on this forum the people who care about Leo already ordered him months ago.

    Yeah, as much as I crave SG Magnus just to have Delta Magnus/Magna Convoy (and no one else), I'm not sure if I can justify pushing $75+.

    It's kinda like how I was finding difficulty in justifying buying $100+ worth of LEGO just for their Bionicle gift with purchase.

    I got Legacy Metroplex from there literally two weeks ago. Didn't know it was going to drop another $20. I did e-mail and will see if they get back to me on giving me a store credit or a refund! LOL it likely won't happen.

    Wasn't planning on buying anything but alas. I don't like their shipping prices to Canada. The way I see it about $25 us was taken off my order and I paid $25 to ship to Canada, so it is more like a free shipping sale for me than anything.

    Anyways, I got the Shattered Glass Soundwave as a gift for someone as I don't think there will be a Canadian release.
    I got myself the Cybershark reissue as I have yet to see them in a walmart and seeing as we are now on the cartoon accurate G1 reissues I don't foresee any luck finding him irl. I was only planning on getting Sounwave but when I saw that you had to spend $75 I figured I would splurge a bit and treat myself.

    The fact that he's a part of a warehouse sale is a reasonable argument. My only counterpoint is what happened with the Atari 2600 Pac-Man cartridge, which was simultaneously the best selling Atari 2600 cartridge of all time and the one with the most unsold cartridges out there (because they foolishly made more Pac-Man cartridges than actual 2600 consoles in existence at the time. Those interested can read more here). I don't expect Hasbro was that foolish with Jhiaxus (almost no one could be), but since we don't know how many (or how few) Jhiaxuses were made (is it the same as other figures of his size class? I don't think we can assume that), we can't really know that he sold "poorly" just because there are still enough of him left to go in a warehouse sale.

    But it's the best reasoning we have available to us....

    "That had better include free S&H because I will not pay a penny more!"

    What is also helpful for Canadians (and US fans without Premium) is that it is also a great occasion to preorder exclusives since you only get billed for shipping once. So perfect time to get the Spider-man or X-Men figures that would be prohibitively expensive if bought on their own. So $25 us is taken off, $25 is paid to ship, free shipping not just for this batch of figures but for all exclusive preorders you'd be ordering.

    Hasbro pulse sale is absolute joke here in the UK. They can't even do SALE prices on Kingdom Rodimus, Legacy Bulkhead, RED Ultra magnus, Kingdom Slammer. And yet the U.S. get Legacy Leo prime, Selects Magnificus, Shattered glass Soundwave Flamewar & Slicer, ROTF The Fallen. And I can imagine the frustration for the Star wars, Marvel, and PR collectors is just as bad.
