Guess I don’t need to look at Amazon then.

As always a big thanks to Jayson and Jeff, for making this as painless as is humanly possible.

I tried that once Nick, and was sorely disappointed.  All XW Lukes and Poes on cards that even to an opener were laughably mangled.  One had coloring on it in marker.  How they even looked at them and thought they were ok at full price is beyond me, and again, I’m an opener!

Same as the rest of you...  I just can’t see spending $50 for something that as of the past 8 months or so has been utterly useless for me.  I don’t work at a computer all day to sit around watching for product to drop only to have a 5-15 min window to get any of it.  Sometimes I’ve been able to because of the timing being right, but it’s been quite some time since anything I wanted there was available to me.

I got lots of use out of it for a while when it was new, but as of right now it looks like setting $50 on fire more or less. 

If things were better maybe.  I truly wish there was some “guarantee you 1x item or figure” kind of deal.  Then, hands down, I’d buy in and get extras elsewhere.

Yeah they (the Star Wars team overall) has been meh since DD left.  It’s a shame really.  The excitement before was palpable and def shared by collectors and the team alike...  now, it’s very ho hum.

I’ve thought of that same thing Matt...  does a drop in members mean the service then becomes worth it since figures are more available?  While I spent last year, my spending decreased dramatically as the year wore on.  For whatever reason, pulse went from a reliable place to preorder to them having incredibly short preorder windows on much of their product.  The Gonk wave seemed to be among the earliest to start to sell out immediately.

I would be a pulse member if they could somehow guarantee accounts two figure limited preorders, or some format like that.  I’d be a loyal pulse subscriber and general customer.  But they don’t seem interested in that, or I’d think they’d have mentioned it.  Something akin to that was in a questionnaire they sent out but nothing seemed to come of any of it.

For me Amazon has now become more reliable with EE and bbts next.  Pulse, it’s usually PO sold out before I’m even off work, or hell, before I even get a moment at work to try with my phone to get an order in.

I loved pulse when it worked but when it doesn’t, I’m just hard pressed to pay for that then.

Just when their “service” has become largely useless!

I’m not sure what’s up with reissue choices.  I think that’s a legit gripe from collectors.  But without a price bump, I don’t see TVC ever coming back to old status.  When Hasbro is making more profit on 6” than 3.75” and see a price bump on 3.75” as something the general public will buck, I’m afraid things will be on this slow and relatively ho-hum pace they’re on.  TVC for $20?  Different story...  but can the public stand it?  It’s already kind of evident to me that TVC production runs (initial anyway) for new figures are pretty short...  I can’t imagine a higher price point is gonna help that either.
