    Something tells me Tigatron is getting delayed by at least a month. Hasn’t even shown up in stores yet. Probably sitting in a shipping container somewhere.

    Got an email announcing the app and I've downloaded it. Honestly I really like the idea of having access through an app but I'll be wary of using it for PulseCon since it's so new, I don't necessarily trust it to not bug out within its first week of existence.

    Saw Hasbro Pulse made an app today, time to see how well it works, also decided to see how many Devastator sets Pulse still has since BBTS managed to sell all of hitters, Pulse still has 597 of them... God I hope they get discounted soon

    The app is nice and I’m excited, but since it’s new I think I'm still gonna use the website when it comes time to get the PO’s and exclusives for Pulsecon.

    App is nice and fast but unfortunate the one thing I wanted (better order lookup) didn’t happen. Ah well…

    The app let's you "favorite" items and add them to your list. I've got the Pulsecon exclusives I'm interested in saved there, but I don't know if I trust the app enough to order them. I might play it safe for the convention and just use the website.

    Also, when Goldbug charged last night he showed an expected release date on the website of 10/19/21. I still haven't gotten my shipping notice and now he shows an expected date of 12/1/21 on the app for me. Website date hasn't changed.

    So a few thoughts about the app from my first few minutes of exploring:

    • It keeps you logged in! I'm glad to have to log in every single visit like the website.
    • Honestly, it's very visually appealing.
    • It's a bit slow to scroll through. Not too bad, but it doesn't allow you to just continuously scroll. Takes maybe a second after swiping my finger across the screen for it to scroll.
    • The front page has everything laid out really nicely. It shows the newest additions to the store and highlights being a pre-order, sold out, and/or exclusive
    • There's a wishlist/favorites feature! And it's very simple. A star on the top right corner of a listing, just click it to add.
    • It has a good sorting/filtering system. Nothing particularly different than an usual app, but it works nicely. Sadly no option to filter by in stock/sold out/preorder.
    • Transformers is the first brand listed on the brands page, how sweet.
    • The listing pages seem to be continuous scrolling instead of page by page. Doesn't seem to make it slow down as you scroll far down thankfully.
    • It's very easy to place an order! I place an in stock order and a pre-order to test both out and they both worked quite nicely.
    • Unfortunately order sorting is no more easy to sort through than the website, and in fact might be even more frustrating than the full website.

    Overall I'm pretty happy with it! But ultimately for something like PulseCon I'm going to stick with the website.

    I'm curious if there will be app notifications when something new is listed. I'd like that.

    Lol same, that's the one thing I wanted out of it.

    Staying logged in is a nice bonus though.

    It means the quantity they received was not yet enough to fulfill YOUR order, most likely. Everyone's receiving partial shipments of everything due to the containers being stuck in Hellifornia limbo.

    My SG Goldbug shipped, even though I didn’t get an email yet.

    FWIW, they never send me an email when an item actually arrives and gets billed, unless my account is too low to pay for it. Then they send the "you have 5 days to correct this" email. Otherwise they don't say anything until the item is actually shipped out. It's kind of annoying, for example last night when Goldbug billed, it removed money from my account that I put in there for a paypal payment to Driskull and so when he claimed the money it overdrew my account.

    Curious. Why aren't you using a credit card? You can get cash back plus fraud protection.

    I don't maintain any credit cards, just a debit card. Separate from my main bank account.

    So Goldbug has shipped for me but it appears to be using UPS instead of FedEx. Did Pulse switch over recently?

    Charged for GB, still not shipped.
    Seriously debating using the app for Pulsecon BTW. Part of me is not ready to trust it, but a lot of companies defer to the app customer first, so who knows?
