2023 HasLab - TVC The Ghost

[Rob]

Nope, no email.  No nothing.

Mine arrived late last week, and honestly I haven’t even opened it yet. Part of it is being gone for holidays, etc., but much of it is the fact that a “future” space problem has now become a current space problem. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still very excited to crack it open, but I just don’t know where it is going to live. I’m just not someone who likes to just have things sitting on the floor. I knew it would be a hefty ship, but when the box arrived I was like “whoa”. Getting to the point in my life where I like less clutter and a clean display, which can get challenging. First world problems and all that I guess. From what I’ve seen, it looks amazing. Quality is not the issue. I do start to wonder how many more of these big vehicles/projects collectors can take. I get that my display space maybe more limited than many, but you would almost need a giant room to house it all reasonably. At the same time though, I don’t want to get rid of it either

I’m having more trouble figuring out where to store the box itself!

[Rob]

That's the only easy part!  I'm definitely storing mine in the recycling bin.

Just got a Hasbro Pulse shipping update… for Luke Skywalker.   

[Jedi Idej]

Just got notification my ship will be delivered on Sun, Jan. 12th.

[Rob]

Nice.  Mine still just says label-created...

[Nicklab]

The FedEx app was essentially useless for the Ghost.  My shipment lingered in the "Label Created" status for around 10 days, and then it got to "Out For Delivery".  What good are these tracking tools if there are no location or movement updates???

I got my two Ghosts today… And the shipping boxes WAY bigger and heavier than I expected
 






I drive a 2020 Toyota RAV 4 and both boxes barely fit, even with the back seats down!

I had a little adventure with FedEx that I might as well relate… My two Ghosts were coming as two separate FedEx shipments and I knew they were supposed to come this week, per the email I’d received from Hasbro in Christmas Eve. I didn’t get any advance shipping confirmation from Hasbro and I wasn’t checking my tracking only to then find out both parcels had shipped last Friday and that FedEx attempted delivery of at least one package Saturday morning, timing it perfectly to about 10 minutes after I went out on a walk with my dog

After getting home and finding the missed delivery slip, I found FedEx tracking via the mobile website to not be helpful, so I downloaded the FedEx app and that provided more detailed information about each shipment and options for rerouting and holding the delivery. I rerouted/held both shipments to my local FedEx store, signed up for all the notifications I could get for each shipment, and got confirmation they were delivered today… Then Hasbro sent me the email saying my order had shipped

Anyways, I picked up both packages Monday evening at the FedEx store, causing a free stares from other patrons as I wheeled out both packages to my car.

I’m glad to finally have the Ghost

Nice to see the "sorry, you have to wait until January" folks are starting to get their Ghosts...  any news on yours yet, Rob?

[Rob]

Nada.  Zero updates or emails or status changes.

I figured if the 15th comes and goes I’ll email Pulse customer service to see if they can tell me anything new.

[Matt_Fury]

I still have a "Label Created" in the Fed Ex App and I received my Ghost on 23 December.

It would be hilarious if I ended up with a second one.

[Rob]

I went ahead and emailed them this morning instead of waiting, they already replied:

   
Hi Rob,
 
Thank you for your email.
 
I would like to extend my sincerest apologies for the delay and any inconvenience this may have caused. As per the latest update, the warehouse is currently handling a high volume of HasLab orders being prepared for shipping. Rest assured, your order is in process and will ship within this week. You will receive tracking information as soon as it becomes available. Thank you for your understanding.
 
Kind regards,
Hasbro Pulse

So, there you have it.  I guess they have to mail like 22,000 of these... I can imagine that taking a lot of time... and with the size of the box, filling a lot of trucks.

[Matt_Fury]

I feel for ya Rob.  I would hate to be in your position.  At least you know it's coming.

[Rob]

I go back and forth but at the end of the day I'm not super worried about it.  I have been thinking about it off and on for a year and my best plan so far is to box up my Lego SSD to make a space for it, so it'll be cool to have but also a bummer on that end.
