sigh.

I hate come off as the bitter, angry fan, but I am so that's how it comes out. 

I spent ALL morning waiting for them to put these ******* up until I literally could not do it anymore and was forced to reintegrate myself into the family for a fun outing. Crazy huh? How dare I take my eyes off their stupid website and attempt to have a normal life for thirty minutes. Of course I missed it, even though there are plenty of their other crappy exclusives left like that gi joe thing, goddamit.

The only people profiting from this asinine arrangement are ******* scalpers. I really am now of the opinion that they should outright cancel any more exclusives like this in the future. It only serves to piss off their most diehard fans. And Hasbro has their head up their ass because they could have sold a **** ton more of these if they had bothered to crank out more then whatever that feeble initial order was. Lose lose, geniuses.

Yes, the packaging means that much time me because I am a capital C Completist and now I have to shell out 3 or 4 times what this POS is worth because they couldn't be bothered to make enough to even remotely meet the demand. and it was more like 3 minutes that it sold out in, not even ten.

Apologies for all the bile, but I had to get that out of my system. I realize it is just a stupid toy, and I understand the concept behind convention variants, but there are much, much better ways to handle this. I will give 2 examples:

Funko had several ReAction figure exclusives at sdcc this year. Among them were unmasked Flash and Green Arrow, and the hole in head T-1000. After sdcc the first two were available at Barnes and Noble and the latter at Toys R Us. They made enough so that everyone had a crack at them for a fair price and in turn this helped keep the Secondary market prices down across the board.

Neca had several sdcc exclusives too, but they were kind enough to pre-advertise both the date AND time that their online flash sale would begin and I had NO trouble logging in and buying the stuff I wanted. I was able to plan ahead and be ready. What a novel concept.

Anyways rant over.

**** you, Hasbro.

They now have a blurb up advertising the convention items being posted tomorrow, but they have removed the hot link to their exclusives page. So just finding these could be a PITA come tomorrow. The search function on that site is lame.

All I want is that damn Stormtrooper. Come on, serendipity!

I want the bloody jaws set in the worst way... But I'm not spending $100+ for it... I hate exclusives.

You will happy to hear I picked one up for the low, low price of $29.99 today at TRU.  They didn't have the regular shark, just the exclusive set. I was so psyched I went ahead and bought all 3 figures on the spot too.

They are very nicely done, probably the best ReAction figures I have bought so far in terms of likenesses. They have definitely improved their game over time.

Happy hunting!

Alex "Teddy Z" "Moe Greene" Rocco 

And now George "Woodhouse" Coe.   

Yep, it just went up...$28.79 not bad.

Seems like an effort to make me keep it in the box for 3 months so it can be easily returned if/when these get price-reduced or hit clearance. 

I don't blame people for voting for Jango. How much Prequel stuff have we gotten out of this line? Maul, Anakin, Obi-Wan, and two Clones? So five figures in a line containing maybe 30 figures total?

Yeah, but on the flip side, that figure was already leaked as coming out before the poll even started, so voting for something that there's a good indication you will get anyway could be seen as a wasted vote.

I think it's a shame that the Gammorean Guard was dead last. Dude is so full of dead weight plastic that it's going to be a long time before he gets any consideration outside of some kind of goofy exclusive.
