This is a disappointment. Checking this site has been part of my daily routine for many years now, and I have treasured the friendships that I have made via this forum. I guess that because of this lull in Hasbro's output, our talks will have to move on to other websites (or continue personally). Most of them have anyway, so I look forward to chatting with you about these great Marvel figures elsewhere. I will miss frequenting this site and can't help but feel a little betrayed by this turn of events. It is bad enough that Hasbro isn't producing as much product as we would prefer; to have our hangout taken away from us seems particularly petty (of course, I don't know what it costs to leave the forum open, so I may just be projecting my feelings of frustration unjustly). Again, I know that this community will continue to thrive elsewhere. When we next run into each other on the other boards, be sure to let me know your name here so that I can realize who I am talking to. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Can we have our forum back (please)?

I finally broke down and got the Deadpool set. I used the coupon to get $25 off, so I am telling myself that I only spent about $8. I am still convinced that I will find it at 70% off, though.

I just got back from Meijer, where I found all three 2-packs. I have yet to open the one with the Collector, but I like them so far (although the leg on my Spider-Man is a little wonky). After lunch, I have to rush off to GameStop to cancel my preorder and get my $5 back. If you have a Meijer in your area, you might want to check.

I thought the others were not exclusive? Am I wrong about that?

Where/how’d you get them?

I am back at it for day two. Although I got a confirmation page, my order didn’t go through on their end (despite Paypal preauthorizing the funds). I spent time on the phone with them and chatted with them for two hours but was basically told that IT would look into the issue. I have been given corporate’s number, but I am not sure I should even bother calling. Anyway, I am playing the F5 game again and hoping they put my stuff back up.

I think I got Han and Aphra after agonizing minutes (maybe half an hour) of trying to load pages. I'm still waiting on a confirmation email. Paypal says I am good, though, and I got a confirmation screen.

Thanks for taking one for the team, Neal. I’ll sing your praises as my order goes through.

3 more hours...

2:14 east coast time?

I am about to hit the three hour mark. What is the prediction on time? Any guesses?

Just search SDCC. There are Transformer trading card game cards in between Optimus and Chewbacca.

Good luck to you as well. I’m gunning for Aphra and Han. The more I stare at those Transformer cards, the more I am tempted by them as well. I don’t know why. I know that if I buy them, I will have to collect the whole set.

Is this where the yearly F5 chat is going to take place? I have been at it for an hour now.

It may be because it was late (I'm not ruling out the possibility that I am an idiot), but I couldn't find the survey. Can someone use monosyllabic words and tell me how to find it?

I’ll head over and do the survey just to affirm that there IS still interest in the 4” scale. When I went in to preorder my Mr. Negative pack yesterday, I was told that today was the release day. Did anyone get them?

Not even a mention of the 4" line. Not even scraps.

Gamestop took preorders for the Mister Negative/Spider-Man set a couple of weeks ago. I procrastinated and didn't get mine in.

Has Toys R Us started marking stuff down?

I got mine today but have to send it back. The left arm is frozen and is going to break off. I’m pretty upset.

I should get one tomorrow. Can’t wait.

I ordered some SpaceWalls the other day, and I really want to set up a shot of my Metroid Amiibo hunting a Predator. I need to know which Predator to order. Any advice? It isn’t Marvel news, but I think I’ll have something for you guys to buy in the next few days. I suspect that it’ll speak to some of the frustration around here.

Ditto. Thanks, Stitch.

Got mine today. What a great way to celebrate my birthday. I also got the Stiletto prototype I ordered on eBay. That was a nice surprise.
