These three will be 396-98th Transformers in my collection. I am planning on getting Yukikaze soon, and then probably Retro "Pink" Hot Rod, who will be my 400th Transformer. Exciting!

Edit: Oh I'm a goofy goose, somehow I missed the "must be 75$+" part of the blurb.

The only way is to buy a lot to soak up that shipping cost.
So, what did you bought?

I preordered a bunch of exclusive stuff that we'll never get in Canada along with the discounted stuff. The discount outweighed the shipping slightly and now I'll have all the rest of this year's exclusives shipping free from Pulse.

I didn't know it worked on pre-orders.
I'll take a second look.
.....
No transformers pre-orders work with the sale.
So you must have ordered something else.

I didn't say it worked on preorders, I said that preorders count as part of your order so it's an opportunity to pre-order everything now and only pay shipping once.

Ah.
Still, that must have been quite the order to make it worth it. And the odds are higher if you have interests in Star Wars, Marvel, and others.
I only care about Transformers on Pulse so my options are quite limited.

I tough many months ago that I had a good deal in finding that GI Joe Classified Baroness with her red bike for 80$can at a fleamarket.
Then, surprise surprise, she's later back in stock at Toys R Us for 60$can.
And now, she's on clearance at 38$can.
I could have bought another one... or 9. But why should I? Buying for buying's sake is a waste of money.
So, yeah. I understand the sentiment wholeheartedly.

That's why I have stopped with a lot of preorders and buy in stock. I gauge if I should buy by if the preorder sells out and how quickly it sells out. The Marvel Legends I got were figures I wanted but knew would go on sale for instance, same with Lio Convoy.
Last year really burned me with sales on things i bought, sometimes within a week. I am done with preorders after that

What's your assessment for those new animated spiderman 2 packs, you think they'll drill be in stock by next year's sale?

I think most will. now it is spider man, so there is a good chance I'm wrong on this one, but given these will be 2-packs that are more pricey, I think there will be ones left over for future sales

Same here. Though they are different versions. Unlike other characters, Doc Ock was different from his comic version with that armor and more heroic proportions. This is a new mold rather than a redeco and the key to all in demand exclusives is whether or not it completes a set, and this does.

139$can shipped and taxed each. Not bad. Not bad at all.
Posted by Whifflefire on March 15th, 2023 @ 3:12pm CDT
Weirdly, my total ($78.13) was nearly identical to the total of my last Pulse order ($78.14), only off by one cent.

If they add things again, I'll be not buying. One order with their ultra expensive 30$US of shipping is enough.
Also, anyone know how long it usually take for Pulse to fully process the orders and to ship them?

Took several days for me. The order I placed on 3/7 didn't get a label until 3/12 (arrived today), the order I placed on 3/8 didn't get a label until 3/14 (expected tomorrow, but judging from the tracking it'll probably be Saturday), and the order I placed 3/13 got a label on 3/15, probably because the orders are slowing down.

It took 2 days for me.
So it depends I guess.
So it's just the usual delay like any other shops.

The first order arrived two days after it shipped, while the second hasn't arrived yet; it's been three days and the second order's estimated delivery date is still "Pending".

At least YOUR shipping is free.
Canadians have to pay 30$US of shipping for a single core class toy... or 2 titans.

My experience was pretty much the same; initial warehouse sale business meant it took longer to ship, but it has slowed down now. My 2nd order was ordered monday, shipped wednesday, arrived thursday.

Pulse no longer offers free shipping, at any treshold. You have to pay an annual member fee for free shipping.

Holy crap that initial price was INSANE! I mean, 217$CAN or 160US, holy shiiiiiit.
At 48GBP or 80$CAN or 59$US, now THAT'S a deal anyone can get behind.

GBP prices have always been like that. Ours never get adjusted for currency rates.
Still, it could have been worse. You could have preordered two at that price via Amazon...

Noooooooooo you didn't.
Still, speaking of that JP set, Americans can have it right now at Amazon for less than 50$US!

Any Americans who passed because of the initial price now have a chance.
Heck, even with the 22$US of shipping and taxes, Canadians still have a deal.
