Go crash the servers boys!
I got my Starscream. 1 per house.
No Zarana's yet.
-
all gone! I missed out, I wanted another Starcommander to keep MIB. Still waiting for my stuff to be shipped from SD.
-
Well, I have a confirmation for one of each Joe item. $25 for shipping, plus $13 and change for tax (found that odd) plus whatever duties I'll be charged. Yikes. Expensive day. Would have liked to get one more pink Zarana for the little bro but at that price it would be difficult to open.
-
trust me when I say you guys got a steal with the prices you are paying for HTS.com, going to the con is way more expensive.
-
I'm sure you had a lot more fun though :wink:
-
Had starcream in my cart for 40 solid minutes.
By the time I was able to get to the last step of check out, SOLD OUT.
I'm seriously bummed.
-
After I got me Starscream I went back and manged to score both Zarana figures. Same as with Starscream, 1 per house.
I had 4 google chrome windows open and 2 Internet Explorer windows on my work PC and a laptop I was rebuilding also had IE running. That and due to the nature of my job (IT support, remote managed clients servers, etc...) we have screaming fast internet here.
Hammering each link again and again was the only way I was able to get my stuff and as soon as I got Starscream I bought it on the spot, without waiting for Hasbro to load the other stuff because they have a check out system that will not "hold" on item in your cart.
Basically when they give you your conformation number, then you know you are good to go.
For the record IE sucked. I didn't have time to load firefox but google chrome was the only thing was able to hit any pages.
-
I managed to get Starscream and both Zaranas into my cart... then the server went kablooey.
In the end, I didn't end up with anything.
-
Same here waited 30 mins before the server went down for me...
Thank Heavens for ebay....
I got what I needed from there.
-
Well that was fast.
Both my orders are in. Sure shipping cost $235 per order, but at least I got top notch shipping ;D
Now the question, do I open Starscream or leave him boxed? The Zarana's are staying MOC as the cards and bubble are what I personally would call 10 out of 10. Starscream / C.C. on the other hand is a dinged on the corners. Probably 8 - 8.5 out of 10.
Seeing has I have no room to display the jet right, I think he's going to stay in the box (for now).
-
no brainer morg, you gotta pop that Starscream open!
-
Received my shipping notice this morning and then a couple hours later they arrived. That was quite a surprise. The shipping box was in terrible shape but everything inside was great. They sent via Fedex so I didn't get charged taxes/duties thankfully.
-
Anyone still looking for Zarana, this is cheaper then what I paid for the one I opened:

If anyone is going to fan expo and they're selling hasbro's SDCC stuff, I'd be greatful if someone could hook me up with a pink zarana. :) I know, highly unlikely, but I had to ask. I just want one to open for my loose collection.
-
Was at fan expo, no one had sdcc exclusive joes at all. The Hasbro booth did have cycle armors and Hiss scouts though for 20 each.

I'm glad they are under cutting Zellers on the price point for them!
-
That's a good use of them. I imagine Hasbro saw how excited we were at the CJC 2011 over those and thought they would be able to move the left overs.
-
They supposedly had Fan Expo sticker on them as well, so in a way they are exclusives.

Meh, a sticker doesn't make the toy in my opinion. The toy makes it cool but a sticker on the toy or on the box doesn't do a lot for me.
I'm not upset that I'm not getting these.
