I got this over the holiday. I didn't get any kind of notification, so I was surprised to see it.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: Hasbro Selfie Series
« on: November 17, 2023, 03:19 PM »Selfie Series Dead?
Hasbro Pulse Customer Service FAQ says "we are no longer accepting new orders for Hasbro Selfie Series figures."

I can't find any link on their homepage either.

« on: November 17, 2023, 10:27 AM »I have seen several reports of people getting their shopdisney orders cancelled even though they preordered back in July.
That's weird since it isn't sold out on their website.

I ordered mine through ShopDisney in order to get free shipping with the Halloween droid. Still no word yet.

The Vintage Collection / Re: 2024 TVC Wave 3 (New TVC Wave 35)
« on: November 1, 2023, 05:22 PM »-LOST CAUSES - This one irks me to a degree. When I was reporting for a couple of collecting sites there was all sorts of talk about the Tonnika sisters. I think I figured out what the deal was, and I maintain that it seems like a lost cause, no matter how many petitions circulate.
I would love to have the Tonnika Sisters in TVC, but I think the BTS photos of them being called Star Whores probably makes it tough for Hasbro to touch... I do wonder if the two showed up on a D+ show if that would change that, but that history might be hard to wash away. You are probably right that it's a lost cause, Nick, but one can only hope. I suppose that's why I still pick them in my wishlists.

« on: November 1, 2023, 01:27 PM »I'm pleasantly surprised that a few characters got knocked off my list from last year, including:
- Princess Leia Organa (ANH) - *ALL NEW*
Forgot about that. Will need to update the list.

Did not realize this was going to be on Pulse. Made it a lot easier to grab without paying shipping.

« on: October 28, 2023, 01:55 PM »Not much to say on the nighttrooper set. Another one that is limited by putting the one named/different leader guy in there. I'd have probably bought 2-3 and now I'll just stick to one I guess since I don't need multiple Enochs.
Really? Man, Hasbro doesn't know how to make these troop builder sets work. Enoch is easily a carded figure and then just through in various different Nighttroopers (yeah, I get each one was pretty unique in design, but those didn't stand out as much as Enoch since he was the only one with that particular faceplate.

Still doing:
TVC: pretty much everything,
NECA Universal Monsters: I think they've done every one I'm interested in, though there could be accessory packs down the road.
GI Joe Classified: picking up a few Joes here and there.
Transformers: same as Classified
Still out of Black Series for the most part.
Have been picking up some G1 Transformers and Joes... Nick, if you have a list of TFs and Joes, I might help you purge stuff.
