they always charged for shipping. this is the first year if you had pulse membership, you got free shipping.
This is definitely NOT accurate. I was a Pulse member the first three years Pulse was a thing and definitely one of the big benefits was the free shipping that came with it. We definitely got free shipping with Pulse Membership previously.
And I think Hasbro still may do free shipping on orders over a certain value - but I think maybe they raised the value? It used to be $50 and now it may be higher than that.. I could be wrong though. That may have gone away.
I am so glad to have this EPIII Darth Sidious. It's really pretty much perfect. I got 2 of them. I didn't need two, but I wanted an extra and I honestly wanted to have 2 of his lightsabers. That way I can either put one in an Emperor Palpatine figures hand or make any of my Sidious figures have two sabers at once like he does in The Clone Wars.
Now, if they would just make Palpatine from the Office Duel with the Jedi, I will be so Sidious happy.
I haven't pulled the trigger yet on that Maul and Speeder set. is Maul my favorite, yes. But do I need the speeder? I don't know. I'm also getting this Maul in the EPI 3 Pack and I've heard there is supposed to just be a single release of this Maul down the line.
So, $60 for a figure I will already be getting just for a speeder. Yay or Nay?
Looks like Momaw Nadon should ship pretty soon. August 12 is when it's scheduled to ship on Pulse. I am always so happy to get Original or Prequel trilogy characters. I'm glad to check Hammerhead off the list of characters that had POTF2 figures as well.
Hopefully we get some more soon like Lobot, Garindan, or Biggs Darklighter or something.
The fact we are getting Prince Xizor though. That might be the Star Wars reveal of the year for me.
Yea I absolutely got free shipping for comicon stuff every year till this one, and I have never been a premium member. I even bought a bunch of stuff from their outlet a couple months back and got free shipping, but I spent over $100. This thing came out to like 60 something with tax and still got charged shipping. So they definitely changed it. Makes me wanna order even less shit from them.
I'm in the same boat with Maul- I really wanted him and his speeder; I used to have the little fast food toy of him on his speeder that was a little ripcord thing, and that was all we could afford at the time, so I got some good mileage out of that thing. Always wanted an actual toy of it, but I know Maul is coming in the mainline too, and I don't know if his speeder alone is worth an extra 30 or so. If the set was even like 10 less or so, I may have bit, but as-is, I gotta be good, especially with the shipping costs. It's the same with the STAP; I can't remember if they said it was a Pulse exclusive or not (probably is), but unless the price is really good, I'll have to behave. With any luck, both sets might hang around a bit to go on sale; I have my eye on another set that's hung around the outlet for a hot minute; maybe if I combine them, it'll meet the free shipping threshold, whatever that is (unless non-members just always pay for shipping, in which case- lame).
@supercamel-1982 I would say nay, but if I was a bigger Maul fan I would probably have to have that speeder bike.
Are chances pretty good for the Maul to get a single release? I ordered the TPM set and don't mind having the Jedi but if they offered just Maul, I'd probably be happier with that.
I wanna say I remember someone- either a Hasbro rep or YakFace (who's always good with the intel)- saying that Maul would be getting a single release. I think the only difference is just that his skirt piece would be plastic, whereas it's softgoods on the speeder version so he can sit on the speeder. Also not sure if he'll come with the hood and binoculars, but you never know. Maul is like Boba where it's basically a guaranteed sale for Hasbro, so I'd be more surprised if he didn't get a single release, especially since he seems to sport a lot of new parts, and you know Hasbro loves to get their money's worth.
Thanks guys.....I may bet that money as well, heh
The new Darth Maul is supposed to be in a future Wave. Almost certainly. I believe someone at Hasbro has mentioned there would be a single release. And he is even listed as scheduled to be in the upcoming Wave in Nov-Jan with Ahsoka Series Grand Admiral Thrawn on YakFace.
It's a very safe bet.
they always charged for shipping. this is the first year if you had pulse membership, you got free shipping.
WHAT?? This couldn't be more wrong. I renew my Pulse membership every year just because of free shipping. I"ve NEVER paid for shipping on a single thing I've ever purchased.
Yep, true had a Pulse membership since day 1 of it being active and never have I paid for shipping. That being said, Darth Maul on the bike shipped from Pulse and next up is Momaw Nadon. I received Darth Sidious two days ago.they always charged for shipping. this is the first year if you had pulse membership, you got free shipping.

Got Maul and the speeder in this week. I didn't have any of the previous Phantom Menace Mauls, but if the mold on the older ones is the same as the other Dathomirians then this one is WAY better than those and can easily crunch to sit naturally on the bike. The cloth goods work surprisingly well. Not a fan of the little skirt, but it lets him sit on the bike and you don't even see it when you have the bigger cloak on so it's fine.
I'm not impressed. The skirt is actually garbage. You kinda have to hide it under the cloak, which is kinda better. The skirt is just so thin and curls up in weird places, moves around too much. I feel like it's gonna rip easy. The lightsaber is about as gummy a mess as the old one, with worse blades that feel like they're gonna break. The figure itself isn't bad, but it also has those odd ball joint wrists. Still not sure I'm a fan of those. It fits well on the speeder, and at least it stands on its own, the older Maul mold has issues with that. It has alot of improvements, but it also has a drawback or 2. I'll just display it on the speeder though, since CW Maul is the one on my shelf anyway.
