Got stuck presenting in a meeting at work and when the mtg ran long, I was worried I was gonna be SOL on this today. 

Was pleased to find them still in-stock at 11:20am CT.  Got my order in, no issues.   :)

Apparently you got them just in time! I heard they sold out shortly after.

I managed 2 with 2 separate orders, sane account. We'll see how that goes. Hear someone snagged 13 for eBay presales. Hope Hasbro puts a stop to that. Won't hurt as much if my 2nd one is canceled.

I'm going to assume this will be like the last set with Luke: the clones will be available separately.  Fives is already out, Jesse and Echo will be out next year?

Right now it sounds like the ARC Trooper pack may be more like the Dr.Aphra set where "some but not all" are put in TVC single carded.

Ha! Yes. Just saw that. May have received faulty info.

I got mine, though I had to go back and do it as a separate order since I was hyper focused on the 6” stuff initially.

Got two.  I’m happy.  Hasbro did a good job on this.  I saw some non pulse guys bitching but hey, this is what ya want for a premium thing from a company.  Subscription or whatever you want to call it.

To this day I haven’t spent a nickel to have a Pulse membership.  It was free for a year with any purchase, then they extended it for free.

In that sense, I don’t get the complaining... as long as you pay attention and didn’t start collecting less than a year ago, you had a shot at this access for free.

I agree with Rob 100%.  I haven't spent anything on my Pulse membership.  They've been great!

I got in for free, but the free shipping pays for itself. Plus, I like having the perk of getting access to Preview night at Comic-Con.

Yeah, I think I bought two TVC Shore troopers so I could qualify for the free Pulse Membership when they launched and that was totally worth it.  I've easily made my money back in free shipping since that initial $25 purchase to qualify.

I was too stupid to buy anything back then. I've tried to go back in time a few times to figure out what the hell I was thinking. All I did was make Cedric Diggory a Death Eater (sorry not a SW reference).

That's an even worse Harry Potter reference.

Totally... also, I'd happily pay the $50 a year if that's what it comes to.  I've put in most pre-orders through pulse, and it's been so freaking convenient to not have to worry about going to stores or whether or not it's going to pop into stock at whatever retailer... Hasbro doesn't always ship first, but they're going to be reliable.

Now if they could just figure out how to mail more than one figure per box...
