I got my first two packages delivered from Pulse today.  Both arrived in great condition.

Did anyone get clarity at Toy Fair on what is really new with Pulse?  Is it just their TBD subscription service?

The packages I received seemed to come in the same HTS format via FedEx.  Same boxes.  Same packing slips.  Same everything.

It really doesn't feel all that different as of now, but maybe with their subscription service it will be different.

The fact they had decent product in stock is a huge change!  :)

It is supposed to have more of a "collector" flair now so the stock will trend older or more collector focused (no more kiddy games or fur real pets or toddler toys or whatever).  Also  pre-orders for collector items, which HTS never really did.  Rumors of some exclusive or direct-to-consumer items/lines (GI Joe rumors).  And of course the subscription service when that is finally announced officially.

If Hasbro offers me an alternative to wandering through toy aisles incessantly, I'm 100% for it.

Try doing this with 8 and 5 year old boys....they keep dragging me to the LEGO aisle.  :)

Their stock seemed to last about as long as HTS' did.  A few minutes/hours depending on what you were looking for.

I do like that you can pre-order our of stock and not yet released items though.  That is new and appreciated.  I'll be interested to see how good they are at managing and fulfilling pre-orders.

The condition of my first order wasn't great.  I ordered Yakface, Klaatu, Leia in Boussh disguise and a couple of Scarif Troopers.  They weren't packed with condition in mind at all.  Sure, there were the air pads in the box, but everything in the box was just rattling around all willy nilly.  And the cardback on one of the Scarif Troopers was a complete bent up mess.

The functionality and navigation options of the new site seems better than HTS.  I'm waiting to see how Hasbro will utilize this site as their own personal news outlet.  And from what I read, I'm expecting an email from Hasbro Pulse on the 24th about the Pulse premium option since I've already placed three separate orders (TVC wave 4, Skiff and Skiff guard 3-pack).

Similar experience for me on the order I placed for 3 Scarif Troopers. I missed the other three, so I have pending preorders for them, plus for my MOC collection, a case on preorder from EE.

I did fair a bit better as Nick though, only one of my three Scarif Troopers came with any "damage" and that was only dings on the end of the cardback and a small crease near the hook hole. The other two are in great shape and for now I'm opting to leave it carded pending getting a better one in the case I get from EE.

Chewie posted his order yesterday on Yakface.  One card was perfect the other card was bent in half.

My order of two Scarif Troopers came just fine. The card stock on this reincarnated TVC is really very thin.

Having FedEx and UPS Delivery manager accounts are a nice backup in those situations.

Yak's on its way.  Hoping for good luck... but after my wife got a shoe order yesterday and there was a size 10 footprint on the box, I'm doubtful.

Weird.  I got a order confirmation email, a shipment notice email, and an "out for delivery" email from Hasbro Pulse.

Of course, my package has been "out for delivery" for three days now thanks to snow-related FedEx delays up here.  Hope to get my package finally today though!

I have four pre-orders with them and haven't gotten shipping notices for, or been charged for anything.    :-[
