Friendly Reminder that the Hasbro SDCC 2017 Exclusives up on HTS Right Now

Still waiting here. At least I got the grill going

Ditto on the still waiting. Is HTS usually so late in actually making things available on the day they say they will be?

Meh....wake me up when Arcee is available on HTS after Hascon fails...

Oh man chuck, I remember that stormtrooper story from a while back.

I wouldn't call it "late" for them yet. Next half hour to 45 minutes is a good time to watch (just going off previous years, I have no secret info)

Just checked, nothing yet.

As much as a pain as Matty Collector was, I appreciated them telling us what time the items would go up for sale.

its lived. Order placed

The gi joe set is listed as in stock but there's no way to add it to my cart, WTF?

Yep, just got my skater prime.

Scored myself a primitive OP!

YES! Just got my confirmation email! Primitive Optimus Prime is MINE!

Add to cart in the main search page.

Click on the product links in the news story which should take you to the page that has all the exclusives and you should be able to add it to your cart. Had the same problem myself

This is crap, I had to back track to the exclusives page to get a link to add the Joe set to my cart, before I could pay it was listed as out of stock

Wtf! I got all the way through the payment process, sent the money through PayPal and then I get a message saying primitive prime was out of stock. There should be safeguards in place to prevent shit like this from happening.

What kills me is if you just go to the main page you can still add them to your cart

Hasbro only just now sent out an email officially announcing the availability of the SDCC exclusives on HTS, 35 minutes after they went up and about ten minutes after some of them have already sold out.

Keep in mind some of these are HasCon exclusives, so there's still some hope.

You should get a message that says there is not enough stock when you try to add them to your cart

Damnit, I obsessively refreshed the skater Prime page all day, I get busy with some customers and of course it goes live, then out of stock while I'm busy.

Seriously. Was there some reason they waited until the middle of the day to make these available?

They must not have had a whole lot of Skater Primes, cause it sounds like he wasn't available for even 5 minutes.

I have been checking all day & now everything has finally gone live & Primitive is sold out? What BS!

Everything went up at 2pm ET. I got my Primitive Prime ordered within the first ten minutes. After about the first 15 minutes, it sold out.

Going off the chatter on TFW, I think about 5 to 10 minutes. A lot of people had the item page on refresh and the "add" button wasn't available right away. That may have added to the delay. Interesting that TLK OP is still available. I hope that becomes available at a discount later on.

*sigh* Another year, another miss on HTS exclusives. I work nights and sleep during the day so I guess it's partially my fault. I stayed up until 8am refreshing the page and just got up and 3pm. I knew I should have gotten up at 2pm, if I had I probably would have gotten a Primitive Prime.

Selling out in 20 minutes is pretty common for SDCC exclusives. I still don't understand why they don't make the HTS exclusive pre-order "made to order" like Japanese stores do it (including Takara Tomy Mall's Legends Black Convoy and the Legends reissues). It isn't like these are solely SDCC exclusives, they're SDCC and HTS joint exclusives. This isn't just leftovers from SDCC, some of these sold out there, these are an allotment set aside for sale specifically for HTS (mixed with leftovers). Instead of setting any aside only sell the leftovers on HTS for people that want a chance at getting them now and open pre-orders for people that can wait. Why intentionally make us anxious like this refreshing the page all day?

Oh well, I've been complaining about this since the first day they started offering these and the only thing that's changed is the site doesn't crash anymore. I think in all these years I've only been successful two years in getting what I want. It's still the same complaints of things selling out in minutes and things being sold out of people's cart after completing checkout. Hasbro doesn't care about individual experiences when everything sells in the end.

Movie Prime is still available, but after not getting Primitive Prime and finding out the free shipping on $49 and over doesn't apply to exclusives (seriously, why do you have to be that way, Hasbro?) I wasn't willing to pay $60 for it.

So people now have to spend money on travel and a hotel to attend a show and then upurchase a 50$ toy? Buy it for double on e-bay would be much much cheaper.

No silly, they might be up on HTS after HasCon

Ah, i see, makes more sense.

And as for the stormtrooper, it was 2 years ago and was for the upcoming Episode 7 film. Everyone wanted one and there were storries on bleeding cool of people tripping eachother over it and it being chaos at SDCC. You were waiting for HTS but the second it was live that toy was sold out.

I got one of the regular releases

I'm worried that despite getting an email that my order is being processed and my PayPal account saying the payment is being processed, that I won't get one. The reason being is that "This is a temporary authorization to make sure your payment method will cover the payment. Your payment method will be charged when HasbroToyShop.com completes your order." My bank account hasn't been charged which makes me think HTS us getting ready to cancel my order.

Luckily, I had no interests in any of these sets. Because holy crap, s#it went down for so many pages in such a short time!

Gotta admit that I Tl;Dr most of them. But the gist I got is a torrent of disappointment. As usual. Gotta love those ultra limited sets, eh?
My sincere condolences to the ones who missed out and congratulation to the few lucky.

It wasn't that bad for the TF only figures (excluding the Jetfire set). While Primitive OP sold out, I think it lasted at least 10 minutes, maybe a little longer. I think most folks who sat in front of their computers refreshing the site were able to comfortably score one. And the voyager TLK OP is still available. But yea, some of the other stuff was gone quick.

Every year HTS just misses the mark handling the SDCC exclusives. FYI, Daredevil and Voyager Prime are still in stock.

waiting, and waiting.....and waiting.....and waiting.....and waiting.....and waiting.....and time to go to work(get home) and gone, FML

This is the one time I'm glad I can't afford anything. I really want the Revolution and Primitive Skating ones, but from what I've been hearing here it'd be hell

I predict Scalper City.

The thought has crossed my mind, but I think I'm more addicted to plastic crack than money.

Fun statistic from yesterday: the in stock timing of just after 2 PM eastern makes this the second latest time of day for that to occur. The only year they were put up for sale later in the day than this was in 2013, where SDCC items were available just before 4 PM.

I almost missed them, but thankfully two other people in the 2 PM meeting at work were also waiting on the Revolution set so we had a few moments of pause to order things.

My general rule these days is to never buy anything with the intent to sell them. I only buy things that I have an interest in, so "plastic crack" pretty much sums it up!

Your office sounds much more fun than mine. I was actually in the middle of a meeting and bought my Primitive as discreetly as possible. Purposely sat in the back of the room lol.

Looks like the scalping has started already:

Not sure if these are from SDCC attendees or the website sale yesterday.

At last! My shipping confirmation came about a half hour ago.

Scheduled delivery date as of this typing is this Thursday.

I get my Primitive tomorrow

Well damn, I haven't even got a shipping confirmation yet.

Just checked my shipping status this morning. Expected date has been changed from Thursday to Friday.

Though, what's more odd is that HTS still hasn't charged me for the purchase.

I was just about to reply as well. Mine got changed from today to tomorrow. Really wished it was today. I have softball after work tomorrow, and probably a lot of drinks after that lol. Won't be in any condition to play with Primitive for sure until Friday.
