Btw, was there some issue with Dial Tone stock?  Seems like he’s more scarce and still has a release date for later this year. 

@leor Probably related to the delay news from earlier in the year.   They probably had the wave go out but maybe not a full allotment of figures so they are making more?   

I know that Zandar was also impossible to find until recently but then more stock started showing up and now he is easy to find (at least on Amazon Canada).   So hopefully Dial-Tone will be the same.  I know I looked a couple weeks ago and he was still available to preorder on Pulse (now sold out).  Here's hoping.

Yeah. I had an order on Pulse but they never shipped him. Saw a full wave at Walmart for that wave and they had 2x of everyone in that wave except Dial Tone. Seems like they under produced him. I wonder if Hasbro effed up somewhere in production and had to produce something else in the meantime causing a delay for later restocks. 

Regarding Crystal Ball ..... If we're all being honest with ourselves, we knew it was wrong from the moment we saw the April shipping date listed.

As is almost always the case with Walmart, if it sounds too good to be true, it is.

New preorders today at 1:00 PM EST.

Gonna have to be tricky - pretending to pay attention to my Zoom meeting while furiously pre-ordering G.I. Joe figures...

Ah, ignore the meeting.  It’ll go away. 😜 

Everything is up ... including the CLAW, which is exclusive to Pulse.

CLAW looks like it's Pulse Premium members only still for now.   If it doesn't last until us plebes are able to order, I guess it wasn't meant to be.

Nice to see they kept the pricing at $55US for the CLAW to align with the Ferret and Trouble Bubble.   I was worried that Hasbro was going to use everything going on right now to stick in a price jump right away.   I know it is still coming, but at least not just yet.

The wave of figures will be a wait and see for me right now because regular releases are pretty safe on that front.

Got everything I wanted plus the 2 of the Claws. I’m hoping Pulse honors the price of these preorders we make now in case the prices do jump down the road. 

I think it is pollyanna thinking to believe there won't be a "tariff charge"  assessed when these items come in stock if tariffs are still in play at that time.      The current tariff rate for Chinese goods is 125%... that means if the wholesale price of the CLAW was even $25  -  then Hasbro after tariff's would have to collect $56.25 just to break even and not lose money.    They aren't going to just shrug and let go of any profit margin on their items,  they will tack on the tariff charge before shipping it out.     They aren't going to honor the sale price - it's crazy to think that.   

I think they aren't addressing the issue because they hope it will resolve itself by then.  We'll see.

As long as Hasbro makes us aware that the price changes before charging our cards before these things go in stock then I’m good with that assuming there is a price change later. 

and also I am crazy so there’s that…..
