General Joe Talk / Re: Haslab Classified HISS Tank ($299.99US)
« on: December 06, 2023, 11:22:49 AM »
I only did one other HasLab, and that was the RazorCrest.  It was organized, and all emails came in the same time as the US customers, and shipping was within a day or two after US customers received theirs.
So this communication black hole is new to me.

Yeah that is not the norm.  Also getting things at the same time, or with a day or two of US backers is also not the norm.  They are definitely better on the logistics side of things now than they were a couple years ago, but you still need to be patient.  They'll get here sooner than we think, but communication may not be timely.

Some people in the US have posted that they have received shipping emails from Hasbro, and two posts I read said that FedEx listed their delivery as tomorrow (today) so it could be sooner than we realize.

Also if history is anything to go by, for me, I expect to get my HISS and then a day or two later I'll get the email from Hasbro telling me my HISS is shipping.  That is what happened with my last couple of Haslabs.  I am still hopeful that most of us will get it before the end of the year.

Well they did have a deadline of last Friday for people to update their addresses before the HISS ships.  So that should mean they will start the process this week.

I also saw online some reports that people are getting shipping label generation emails from FedEx.  So maybe that means they'll start shipping in the next week or so for some people?

Just found on BBTS that they have further reduced the price of their complete wave 1 set of Joe ReAction figures.

They were on sale for $100US, but now they have further reduced them to $60US!!!! 

$60US for 15 figures is $4US a figure (before taxes, shipping, exchange rate).  However that still works out to probably just under $10Cdn a figure once all is said and done.  Not bad if you are into the ReAction figures.

TRU has expanded their Black Friday sale on Joe items.

Here is what is listed on sale on the site this morning:

TF Duke & Ram - $33.47
SE & Timber - $33.47
Sgt. Slaughter - $24.97
Retro Lady Jaye - $19.97

I think the other Retro figures might be on sale as well, but they are showing up on the site.

Forgot to add that TRU has only one thing JOE in it's flyer for Black Friday.

The Classified TF Duke and RAM will be 50% off ($33.47).

I already grabbed one for 50% off when they had the 25% off sale on Joes, and I had a 25% off coupon that stacked on top.  However I'll probably bite on another one to have an extra TF RAM for backup.

Finally found the giant snake toy at Dollarama.   It is the perfect size for a mutated Cobra creature, and $5 works well.

ALSO.....

Some pretty big news out of Hasbro Pulse.   It looks like they have made a permanent change going forward.

Canada will now be part of the US pricing structure for shipping!!!!!

That means as Canadians we now qualify for cheap/free shipping on order from Pulse. 

For orders under $75US shipping will be a flat rate of $6.99US, for orders $75US and over shipping will be free!!!

Man I both love and hate this change.  I love it because now it becomes a bit more reasonable to order stuff through Pulse, especially single higher priced items, without worrying about an extra $30US being added on to the price.  I hate it because of the amount of money I have already spent on Pulse over the years where I had to bite the bullet and deal with the extra cost.

There have been reports of a larger Snake (Cobra) figure/toy showing up at Dollarama for $5.

It is from McFarlane Toys (a couple years ago) and it says it is a "Rattlesnake" (but it has the hood of a Cobra).

Anyway it is nice and large so it can easily be used as a display accessory for your Classified figures.  Because of course Cobra Commander would have large mutated snakes as "pets" to use against Joes, or feed prisoners/deserters to as well.

Just had Mole Rat and Alley Viper dropped at my door!!!!


Because I ordered them separately they shipped them in separate boxes, but the boxes were too small. So the top flaps of the boxes were bent and creased down to fit the box. Thankfully no real damage as the cardboard is so strong. Not even a crease line so if I flatten it out and put some weight on it they should straighten out again after some time.


Can't wait to crack them open later tonight. Now just waiting on Shooter.

Got notice from Walmart that my Mole Rat and Alley Viper are shipping.

Nothing yet on Shooter.

Got a delayed shipping notification from walmart.ca. No new time frame for delivery on Shooter, Crimson AV, or Mole Rat.

Same for me.

Not too happy about this, especially with them showing up again on Walmart.com for order.

Someone local to me (Ottawa) said they found some Mole Rats at their local Walmart in Smith Falls.  If true then it means stock is in the country, now sort it out Walmart Canada.

That Vamp is a must buy for me.  It and the RAM and Breaker were the first Joe vehicles/figures.

The dollar sucks at the moment, but I am hoping the guy I use who brings them in directly from Hasbro will have them for around $180 canadian, of course unless the dollar totally tanks.

I caved and pre-ordered 2 Vamps directly from Pulse.  Works out to a few cents shy of $260US, which with the current exchange rate is $360Cdn.  So that is $180 per Vamp.  Not ideal, but at least the price Hasbro set in US dollars was reasonable.  $100US for the Vamp with Clutch is a good price.

I have to say they hit another one out of the park with the Vamp and Clutch.  They really went all out on the details for the Vamp and Clutch fits in perfectly with Grunt and Breaker for the OG style (updated) look.
