It's extremely likely that the Star Wars thing is dicated by Disney. I own a game shop, and none of the Star Wars products that Fantasy Flight releases are ever eligible for early release or discount-related promotions that they sometimes offer for their other titles. Disney just keeps a tight leash on their Star Wars licenses. They don't like Star Wars products being discounted or offered early to certain people. They also think PDFs should fall under the video games license, but that's neither here nor there...

Star Wars was not allowed to have premium member access. It went free for all style to everyone.

FINALLY getting vulcan. Major disappointment that theres no animated morph

Got everything.

Got all I wanted from Pulse. COMPLETE!!! waste to get the Premium!! And even got Target Joes pre ordered on Target, Just 2 BAT, 2 Viper and an Outback. Will army build the regular BAT later.

I dunno why it's so hard to do a good Jubilee. They keep making her look too old and stern. And the head looks nothing like the animated series, anyway.

The new game from Hasbro is releasing older figures with new improved paint apps.

Makes sense as modern costumes and figures do NOT sell.

I assume eventually they will redo all figures with pinless soon after.

Missed pulse yesterday, checked today and missed out on the 6" cantina. Not sure if I want to bother hunting it down. I like the 4" scale for cantina better as Diorama.
Was able to preorder Pudgy and Ravage.
Ravage will be a great fit with Beast Wars.
Power Rangers I'm going back and forth about collecting and keeping or not between the Figuarts Rangers and Lightning collection villains, but Pudgy was always a really cool design imho. Still thinking about some mecha addons from super7.

I very recently got into G.I. Joe Classified after passing it up for the longest time mostly due to being ok with the 4" 25th anniversary, and not really liking the modernized designs (heavily influenced by the v1 of series 1), I found out about v2 of series 1 along with Target having the unlimited $25 off $100 deal and having some of the rarer exclusives available along with Breaker and the Ram and Baroness with the coil bike, Firefly, Beachhead, Flint and Lady Jaye being readily available...

Storm Shadow and Croc Master sold out in 4 minutes... Pulse site was laggy.
Thankfully etailers have them as well so I got them preordered! :D
Got extremely lucky on preordering Outback on pulse, and saw no etailer carried him. Ordered Spirit with him.
Spirit with the Eagle are awesome. Tigerforce Outback was always one of my favorite figures as a kid (I grew up in Europe). So thrilled to see him as 6" looking amazing!
I'm not really into the Python Patrol repaints.
Changed my mind about getting the exclusive Zartan after all instead of the currently released update and exclusive Zartan is still available!
At one of the pictures Zartan really looks great, I guess some of the lighting in other pictures made it throw off for me at first.
I'm happy with the preorders so far.
Only thing is seeing the price increases on Marvel Legends is really rough. I got Cap but the X-Men animated repaints at the price increase was an easy pass.

Love the X-Men Animated toys & that there boxed like the old VHS Tapes/ Very very cool.

That new Winter Soldier Bucky is one of my dream figs... always wanted a MCU Winter Soldier, but never really liked the previous 3 versions released... the two pack one was nice, but I didn't like the gold arm. This one though is perfect... hope I can actually get him one day.

Also my Family Matters 3 pack Scarlet Witch had face printed eyes that were very badly aligned, so I wouldn't mind a new one. I still like the Odin wave one best though.

That un-helmeted Tony Stark head looks just like Charles Bronson, lol. I'm going to get it just for that reason.

Pulsecon ordering complete. Wolverine 90s animated series is one of the best figures i've seen at this price point. And a jubilee is very welcome to my collection since the other one is over $90 last i checked. Retro scarlet witch looks nice and was an easy buy. Vision white? Give me colored vision please (hoping this comes along soon, the last marvel legends retro vision is very expensive now). Also grabbed Venom to round out the 90s spider-man collection. And a Phoenix/Wolverine retro 375 2-pack because completionism!

i feel like some people are missing the point of the $50 to hasbro. It lasts for a year, helps combat scalpers/bots, and also lets you buy in to haslab projects! It's a must-have in an age of impossibly cool things being made by haslab.

Geez, still no blue, cartoon-style Beast yet? :(

My first thought too. :D

What a waste of time today was after the GI Joe panel. I preordered a lot of shit, but that doesn't make the presentations good.

I have a Premium membership, and I get enough use out of it, but Haslab projects are open to everyone.

Going to be interesting to see who releases X-Men TAS figures faster: Mondo or Hasbro.

Premium has been worth it to me just to have a source of Target exclusives without having to deal with Target. I like how they insist on hogging up part of your credit line like a jealous lover for months on end for their pre-orders. Then to top it off, you probably have a 50/50 chance of them canceling it on you. It seems like such an abusive way to do business that I cannot believe anyone puts up with it.

What's the deal with the o-ring 2-pack? The box shows the '85 (Ninja) Snake Eyes, but the figure that comes inside is the '83 Marine version. Not only that, but they show the box and Snake Eyes has just the bag and Uzi, but the individual shots show him with a silver sword and big gun. Confusing.

The sword is from the v3 release from the late 80s...looks like its packed in there with him too. I guess they're doing a mashup but not really sure why they needed to do that.

Hogging your credit line, huh? Get the red card, no such shenanigans and 5% off everything you buy.

Nice to see some artillery included with the Winter Soldier after all the guns are being eliminated from so many figures. Helps out when it comes to arming other figures on the shelf.

Nice weapons with the Winter Soldier, and the retro line is getting more and more love...

Oddly, however, none of those weapons were actually used by Sebastian Stan in Captain America: The Winter Soldier...

GI Joe team great reveal on the figures. Spirit and Storm Shadow are 2 of the most requested figures. Croc Master looks amazing. Target exclusives were easy to order. HasLab is a waste of $ along with Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow o-rings for $40. Marvel Legends and Star Wars were boring.
