Press Release - Hasbro Officially Launches Hasbro Pulse UK

[Q Prime]

Of course. And they don't send to Northern Ireland.

So underwhelming but with a British accent lol

But seriously, hopefully expansion means some kind of overall improvement

[JerpJerp]

Alright! Much love to the UK, hopefully Ireland and everywhere soon too!

To all US collectors, is the premium benefit worth it ?

Speaking as someone who just let their premium account period expire, I can solidly say no.

If you want to pay $50 US for free shipping for 365 days and mild advantages on exclusives, go for it. But that's all it's worth.

Thanks for the intel, i might get it nearer the end of the month but it feels unlikely.

Just FYI they are running a deal till the end of March - join Hasbro Pulse Premium for £20.00 instead of the normal £40.00

I also might try it at this price, especially with MODOK, Maestro, She Hulk & the Villains wave all coming out this year

If only it was Palitoy Pulse...

I'm mildly enthusiastic about this. Still, in a post-Brexit time I honestly don't understand Hasbro is limiting their European site to the UK. I hope that extension to other European countries will soon follow and won't take another 5 years. :s
I also wonder what will be the impact on other online stores that were currently selling most Hasbro products. Most of these were already able to offer almost all Hasbro products, including so-called exclusives thanks to their direct dealings with Hasbro UK. Admitted, in some cases (GI Joe comes to mind), quantities were extremely limited and you had to be really fast to get your hands on it. But still, it was available and considering most of these also shipped to the rest of Europe, even post-Brexit, it allowed me to also get my hands on it, living in Belgium. If however Hasbro now decides to play the game dirty, which wouldn't surprise me at all from them, and makes certain items exclusive to Hasbro Pulse (UK), but still doesn't ship to the rest of Europe, it might actually turn out worse for me than before. So far however, their offering seems extremely limited and just like is the case with Funko Europe, is only a pale imitation of the US version. Admitted, they are just starting, but I can't say I'm too impressed at the moment. The only interesting figures I saw were the GI Joe Viper and Firefly, one of which is already sold out, which somehow tells me their available stock was ridiculously low. But no Deluxe Snake-Eyes, no Fortnite Snake-Eyes, no Regal CC, no D&D Drizzt...

It hasn't been hard for me to get exculsives and find better deals from other online retailers, which i will support them , and use Hasbro Pulse as potentially a last resort, varying on the circumstances.

Hasbro Officially Launches Hasbro Pulse UK, but doesn't allow other europeans countries to order...

On another hand, with the Brexit, ordering something in UK now is a garantee you'll be gutted by the customs, too happy to be back in the arbitrary tax game...
