@jtmarsh They stated multiple times that not including these was a deliberate choice to 1) keep the price down and 2) keep them available to those that want them but didn't want to spring for the Haslab. Plenty of people here and elsewhere seem to want this set but didn't go in on the Haslab - maybe they would have ponied up if they had to, but after the Hellcharger failed they were obviously hyper-sensitive to any criticisms about paywalling desired figures. Damned whatever they decide, but it's an understandable choice.
Honestly think this was the best choice. That way the figures aren't locked to a Haslab and people can get them separately. Plus, it doesn't drive up the price of the Haslab.
They definitely learned from the Hellcharger. They didn't want to repeat the same mistake. Which is good and should make most folks happy.
Damned whatever they decide...
Pretty much. No matter what choice they make, someone somewhere will grouse about it.
I was surprised to see it didn't have the preorder tag. Wonder if that's by design or by accident. Not in a rush to get them if it's an accident but wouldn't hate it if they shipped right away either.
I admit that I caved and had bought a Premium membership yesterday thinking this was going to sell out. So I was able to get it right away, and also pleasantly surprised that it seems to be an in-stock ready-to-ship item and not a pre-order as well.
Time will tell if the Premium membership is worthwhile or not.
I placed an order and it charged my account immediately. I think this thing might actually really be in stock right now, which is pretty cool!
It begins.
"Into the valley of death rode the 600 ..."
Man, they're making these characters pulse exclusive? It just sucks ordering these from Canada. US$30 shipping is a killer, so I order a bunch of stuff at once, so I can hopefully sell to others in the area at cost. Then they're made available to other retailers for less than what I paid, making it difficult for me to unload them for a long time, if ever. So the answer is 'just don't buy from Pulse', which I'm increasingly doing, but of course there's maybe 10% of the items that don't hit retail (like the DD 3-pack), to keep your fomo alive :/
Enough with Pulse exclusives! (or make shipping to Canada more reasonable!)
EDIT: forgot to rant about how terribly packaged everything is so 80% of what I order shows up with damaged packaging. Screw you, Hasbro!!
Guess I have to retract my rant cause I got free international shipping for some reason 😮
Hah, really can't please everyone.
I ordered my sets. It did seem like Ryan said they were in stock in the video. Glad to see more evidence pointing to that. Hope they're ready to go, looking forward to completing that era of Avengers!
@thor-el I've gone back and forth on membership over the years. While BBTS' pile of loot has been my recent go to, largely since they tend to get things prior to Pulse (still weird to me), I buy enough from Pulse for the membership to make sense. And early access can be cool sometimes. Glad you got your set.
Can't wait to see this recreated in action figure form.
Of course, we still need the tiny Wasp ...
We have one already. It was a pack-in with the Marvel Universe-scale Founding Avengers box set. Though I admit not everyone may have picked that set up. Still, it exists.
I was going to wait, but hearing that it might be in stock already I went and bought it. Here's hoping that's the case!

Yes, I do have one of those. The articulation is not the greatest but it will work.
I'm still hoping Hasbro makes one at some point, though.
