A major problem I see with this is that previous convention exclusives were usually also offered through (international) partners afterwards, whereas their retard HasbroPulse webshop is available in exactly 4 countries around the world (US+Canada, UK and Germany... that's it). Unless they continue offering their convention exclusives through 3rd party partners as well (especially in countries where HasbroPulse is not available, which is basically most of the world), which I honestly doubt very, very much, I myself would consider this a major step backwards. In other words, if you live somewhere else you are now screwed. The latest HasLab projects are a nice example of this new policy. Before you could get them through some selected partners, now no longer. Way to go, once again, Hasbro... where fans come last.
