My buddy bought the new G.I. Joe o-ring two-pack from HasbroPulse, but his included two Snake Eyes figures instead of a Snake Eyes and a Storm Shadow! He contacted Hasbro, and they told him there's nothing they can do because they don't have any left, even for customer service issues. They're going to send him something random in the same price range, but won't even grant him a refund.

I know this is the biggest long shot ever, but I don't suppose anyone might have ended up with two Storm Shadows, or just wanted the Snake Eyes and would sell the Storm Shadow?

God could you imagine if Hasbro did this poo poo?

Even ignoring the no joke actual toy thieves, you also just have all the people who get their merch legally and officially that just haven't been revealed or promoted.

I mean, I picked up RED Prime Knockout the other week from a Walmart, and Hasbro only officially announced him a few days ago. If I’d reviewed him, would I be at fault?

youtube's takedown rules are poo poo through and through, Totally Not Mark recently got just deluged with takedowns, over 150 of them iirc, from Toei Animation for his reviews. Some of which did not include a single piece of their content, but they claimed them anyways and exploited the algorithm. Eventually TNM managed to work something out and got most of his stuff restored. I dunno if this guy is in the same sort of situation, though.

There has to be something going on in the backend of YouTube, Nintendo just took down 2-3 channels under similar deluges. Maybe they rolled out software for companies to handle claims more easily.

I don't remember who it was, but I saw a vid that showed the Nintendo music video takedowns were probably from a fake Nintendo. All the copyright claims were from "Nintendo" and not "Nintendo of America" like past claims. Weird.

Yeah it’s confusing, I’ve seen it suggested both ways and there’s no clarity who’s behind it. In Hasbro’s case though there have been lots if examples of Legends “leaking” before they’re officially revealed yet channels weren’t taken down. Most recent I can remember was the Eternals wave.

I had Fennec Shand in my hands before she was announced. Same with the rest of that wave that I left on the shelf. (oh and reissue Tigatron too) Its not the consumer's fault when we buy from a store, geez louise megacorporations. Give us a break!

In case anybody wasn't aware, the Legends X-Men wave is up for pre-order today at 10 am pacific/1 pm eastern. For me it's a bit of a dud wave but I'm hoping to snag a loose Siryn and BAF Bonebreaker from Dorkside today.

I found a lone set just hanging out on the bottom shelf by random crap. First thing I though of was “I wonder if The_Doctor is still looking for it.” I grabbed it to be safe. Shoot me a PM and we can figure it out😊

Dorkside generally does loose pre-orders for singles at a few dollars less, along with ordering a loose BAF (usually $60 or $70), which is so much better than buying a wave for only a BAF and trying to sell figures nobody really wants.

e: yep DS listed loose Bonebreaker, pre-ordered him and Siryn.

The Wave 1 re-release? The weapons racks are a slightly different tint, otherwise they are completely the same figures.

I'm a sucker for X-Men so I bought the whole wave. Thankfully Wolverine doesn't have a BAF piece so I can skip buying my eighth or ninth Wolverine.

I missed the drat Dorkside BAF buy, and really want the BAF but am loathe to order that entire wave (minus Wolverine, which honestly is probably the only figure I'd want since he's in a new costume and that's a new unmasked head) just to get him.

Guess I'm not gonna be building up an entire set of Reavers.

Nah I guarantee this wave will be clearanced a couple months after it’s released, it’s very underwhelming.

It's cool that we're getting Maggot but I wish they had included a head with sunglasses with him, oh well maybe they'll include that with the very obvious colour variant of him if they ever reuse him for a boxset

If it matters the X-Men wave is a few bucks cheaper on amazon compared to BBTS and Dorkside.

They're probably slightly too big to look entirely right with the Figuarts size ones. The plate for Venus is maybe a little over an inch.

The shoulders might be a little different because of how the sleeves are but everything else probably is the same. The listing said she comes with 'Set of dedicated pedestals' which is good. The wings would be in the way of the traditional Figuarts stands.

On my way to work I found the rest of the sweet new retro Spider-Man wave. Ben, Symbiote and Hobgoblin. All bangers, though the Ben head is a bit strangely shaped.

Speaking of work, I will have less time to toy hunt now. I put in my two weeks at my more mobile job, and will be in an office all day long at my new one. Pretty excited for a new opportunity and more money.
