Hasbro Pulse Exclusives Land at BBTS

[@Fore-Four-Dee-Too]

I happened across that info on facebook before I received the email from BBTS. I was happy to see that they had Snow Job for less than what dealers were asking at the toy show last weekend. I ordered two for some customs I have planned.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

Nice to hear you got him!

I literally got my SMS Heetseek set from Hasbro Pulse this week, and two days later? On sale on BBTS! I buy all of my American toys from BBTS but because they were Pulse exclusives and I'm in the Southern Hemisphere, I had to get a friend in The States to order it for me, send it to my proxy address in Florida, and then have it shipped internationally. All because I thought it was the only way to get it without paying scalper prices. And I'd previously done the same thing with the HISS fireteam, Valkyries, Trouble Bubbles, Snowjob, etc, all of which are now on BBTS too! Classified is the only line I collect at the moment, but I don't enjoy the process. Mainly because of the way they make so much of it exclusive, including nearly every single vehicle.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

Aww man. I hate when you're just days away from a big sale.

[@davidthanos]

The funny thing is some of the stuff have hit Ollie's already. Even better when big bad sees they can't move some of the stuff they'll discount it. Which seems big bad has more wiggle room when it comes to discounts

[@LylesFigureFiles]

Yep. I wonder if they will clearance stuff out faster?

[@chet_inator_gator]

Bucky Cap has been in the Pulse outlet for the past year at $16something. I like BBTS but thats egregious haha

[@LylesFigureFiles]

Yeah, I have no idea what's going on with that one.

[@gregarcher8177]

Bucky Cap $10 Ollie's. Pulse has TF dusty for $13.49 makes me wonder just how much they pay for a figure, meaning their price increases aren't justified.

[@FracturedReality777]

This is Hasbro's attempt to keep the price of their items high.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

Wouldn't the retailer choose the price?

[@FracturedReality777]

@@LylesFigureFiles I think Hasbro wants to avoid a repeat of last year's Rossening. So they are trying to avoid their products going to Ollie's and Ross as much as possible. Instead of selling to discount stores, they will make a deal with BBTS. We don't know the terms of sale, so maybe BBTS got something extra in exchange for buying the stuff. It makes no sense to see something that is on sale for a long time without selling out suddenly end up at a higher price elsewhere. (May not apply to every figure).

​@@FracturedReality777bbts has been doing this for years. Way before the Ollie's paradigm, friend.

The on-going struggle between production numbers, overspending, missing opportunities, and the "clever strategies" that plague them!

[@allenwhiteside7838]

just because it sells out quickly dont worry Im sure that some of those will become avialable again due to people canceling preorders. When they got the vamps and artic bats and sold out it goes back instock whenever sdomeone cancels a preorder. No clue when will ship Arctic Bats was originally on BBTS to release back in summer and still hasnt shipped was sold out people gave up cancelded preorders and back instock

[@TheBigBigSean]

"Exclusive"

[@DaishawnWatson]

If Hasbro makes a marvel zombies wave it will be iron man, captain America, spider man, wasp, Luke Cage, wolverine, and Hawkeye and I'm talking about the ones from the comics the baf will be hulk

[@DaishawnWatson]

Also I hope they make another strange tales wave and if they do give us Robbie Reyes, Elsa bloodstone, werewolf by night,

[@davidthanos]

Ah man. Missed out twice on snow job. Which i don't understand. How are they giving big bad something that's been sold out on pulse for a while

[@LylesFigureFiles]

Great question!

[@gregarcher8177]

Hasbro's dirty tactics have me on the fence about continuing collecting GI Joe classified.

[@whozyourdaddy]

Oh, come on. You know you're going to keep buying Hasbro's products.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

Dirty tactics?

[@SirG.L.RIC.KAGE-Esq]

Please pontificate. 🙏🤔 Educate me.

[@gregarcher8177]

@@SirG.L.RIC.KAGE-Esq by releasing all these figures Early on us, especially after funding a haslab which ended right after Sarge, lowlight and spirit two pack and the stinger. Now all these other figures will be out by years end and Emily promised it would not be like this but it's a burden and not fun when they care more about their numbers than the customers. Now our "exclusives" are available on bbts? No that's supposed to be pulse exclusive. They say things are sold out then they pop back up. They create fomo by doing those type of things and I'm not the only one who is calling them on it, lots of collectors are not happy with them. Maybe not here but on other channels for sure. Maybe you can afford it all, maybe you don't agree that's fine it's just where I'm at. Overwhelmed and not enjoying it because it's a burden when the economy is in the 💩R

[@transformerstoytalk8393]

Thoroughly agree with this comment! Wait a bit longer and it’ll be at Ross and Ollie. Now that’s a win!

[@josray2557]

They just sold to BBTS junk they can't sell on their site... Now if it had been serpentor, chuckles, and mindbender that would be different.

[@FracturedReality777]

And then BBTS returns the price to MSRP instead of clearance

[@LylesFigureFiles]

Snow Job was sold out for awhile on Pulse.

[@josray2557]

@@LylesFigureFiles yes hes not on bbts also... pretty useless.

[@hardact2follow663]

This also means Hasbro is about to clear these items off of their pulse site. Wait until BBTS puts them on clearance too 😂

[@MAGEtvPTB]

...in this case, it seems like bbts is the last stop before Ollie's for some of these. Hasbro is doing bad business to discontinue ANY army builder

[@LylesFigureFiles]

They need to constantly keep army builders in rotation!
