I believe and hope so as people would like to have these figures.

So true ^^ I grabbed the Helicarrier via paypal, so I'm a happy camper But dang how long is the Helicarrier?

[apocalypse]

I read in a ebay post that says it's 4 feet long! It should take up some major space!

You could store it at my house Ill pay you the shipping...you might never ever see it again though

[Joe Moore]

Dual threads merged and moved into News forum.

[apocalypse]

But if I store at your house then I can never see it. I'm sure my wife would agree, but she'd be selfish and want double payment for it! Lol!

Masters Of Evil will be going home...

Things literally sold out in seconds.

Like most here I was refreshing the page all day from early until 1PM to call it quits for the day.

When they hit just after 12PM I had all the items I wanted in the cart. Adding the items was easy. And maybe this happened to others but

When I went to check out the same order page loaded again and yet again.

Then my cart was empty! It somehow deleted it all.

Also the comic2012 code did not work when I tried to apply it.

I add the items again and the Hiss Tank is gone. Followed by Bruticus, followed by the Joe Women, then X-force, and the Marvel Universe pack.

Also in the cart the Helicarrier kept saying overweight shipping charges apply for this item in red text. As I type this it's the only item left I want and still the checkout will not let me through to purchase it. And it'll probably be sold out anyway.

Not sure how others got to checkout so easy and all their items.

This really is Hasbro's fault. And outside exclusives like this, I don't think if I can avoid it, that I ever want to order from their website again. And I probably won't bother with wasting my time at next years SDCC exclusives, no matter how good they are.

First they loaded up this year with so many great exclusives. Instead of just one or two items like past years that collectors wanted.

Then as posted in this and other forums, scalpers have like 15 or more of the same item, which they are just going to sell.

Now their website sells out in 60 seconds or under in some items? How many did Hasbro have in the warehouse I question? Also last year they limited to 1 an item on checkout in some cases.

Were there such limits this year? Or did some scalpers load up like 50 items in their cart on checkout?

I know sometimes the stock can reappear, but in truth it's so random and will sell out again, I'm not going to bother to look. Cause it'd be more frustration then it's worth. And as mentioned, it's a rare what if game if they even reappear.

Their website how they stock it and their general convention policies at SDCC really stink.

Also last year the the New York convention they just give a one off boring Hulk repaint. Yet all the good characters are at SDCC. I hope this year New York doesn't get another subpar exclusive figure. Or better yet they should have saved one of the exclusive items for the New York convention instead of leading it all at SDCC.

I'm writing just to vent pissed off frustration, thanks for reading.
And maybe others can share similar such stories?

All day I was logged into my account. And as mentioned could not check out.

As I wrote my last message. I logged out. Noticed my cart had the Helicarrier in it.

I clicked Check Out and got the log in page information.

I logged in and it took me to the order page to fill in and my order worked.

Could it be you had to add your cart up and not be logged in. Then when you went to checkout you got the login screen.

Was that the factor why for some it was so easy?

Hasbro's website is really F**ked up if that is the case.

Being logged in should have automatically helped. But I guess it didn't.

I'm not saying it's a fact this happened, but now I wonder.

[metalalchemist]

Good thing I only wanted the masters of evil pack. I managed to get one.
For what I can see, there was a limit to 1 per address, so I am beginning to think Hasbro had a really low stock on this items.

More like preventing scalper's from buying more than just 1...

[NoodleChow]

at least if thousands of people went to comic con and bought multiple items, i can only imagine the many thousands of people all over who were waiting for these to hit the site.

[FrankCastle]

They limited them at the show too. MOE and XF was 4 per person.

[Tarquinius]

I swear for the shipping I paid for that hellicarrier, the damn toy should be shipped VIA HELLICARRIER

[ludovicotek]

Anyone have an extra Legends X-Force pack and want to hook a brother up, please let me know!

Hahaha I totally agree with you there!!! Here I was hoping for the free shipping too cause of the amount on the helicarrier..

[bmorr]

wow HTS must be flooded right now. it wont even load. I was curious to see what was left.

[deg]

I guess the only reason the Carrier did not sell out so quick and is still up is because of the high price with shipping.

They will be released, but in X-Force colors, not Uncanny X-Force. Uncanny is silver, 'regular' is gray.

That´s one reason, but still I have my doubts. They lasted for so little time...
Besides, the load on the server was really low when I got there (not like previous days) and still, the exclusives were going out of stock one after another. When I got in, everything was in stock, then like 5 minutes later (literally), the tank and Marvel Legends Pack were out of stock.
The site did not feel as if it had a 300-400 clients load.

[FrankCastle]

They won't be Grey. Arch Angel is his Pink/Blue combo. I havent seen Wolvie (he wasn't at the con) so I don't know how they will release him.

[deg]

By the time this story was posted it was already sold out on the website. They really have to handle better how they sell these things at the convention and have more for the website to sell to the fans.
