It would take a junior programmer a couple of minutes to get a data feed on an hourly basis and incorporate those numbers in to a global total.

I'm not sure if Hasbro is being devious or is just incompetent.

WTH?

Last week I caved - I tried to buy the retro collection Henry Jones Sr, but it was register locked so I couldn’t buy it.  Went to Target this morning and saw him again along with the Last Crusade Sallah and was surprised to see them priced differently.  Senior was $14.99 and Sallah was $11.99.  Why?!?!

Got these both from a Target pre-order this week.  They were priced differently online too.

Got a weird email from Target this morning saying they’re holding my order for this but that I need to update my payment.  When I go into the app, it’s got no release date listed, and is being paid for by my perfectly good Red Card.  I guess I’ll have to call them. 

Have any of guy guys seen this before?

No.   That sounds like some kind of scam.

Yes.  That looks good.  I'd like to put more clever thought in to it but it'll just get me grumpy because Hasbro has really struggled in this area.

Pre Vizsla is a new build, but he does share parts from some of the recent TVC mando figures from TCW.  I guess he is more of a kit-bash/partial new figure in that sense than "all-new'.

Darth Revan is all-new according to Hasbro.  There could be some parts sharing in there (like the legs under the robes might be re-used) but they claim it is new.

Thanks.  Looks like I waited too long and Amazon and Pulse are both pre-sold out.

...Slight grumbling that they've decided to spend new development resources on figures we already kind of have - so many interesting unmade figures (especially from Andor) that they could make.

This seems like an odd thing to have at Disney.  It seems random for collectors and you would think it would be a Pulse or EE exclusive.

Too bad they didn't do a multi-pack of Chewie and his family

Agreed that they don't need to do a TVC HasLab on an annual basis.  But I also don't believe they should be doing SW HasLab annually either, especially if they don't have good ideas that are likely to fund from other areas of SW collecting. 

Doing an every other year HasLab TVC would be great as far as I'm concerned.  And they don't have to be $500.  Maybe a HasLab every other year and a direct to market on the odd years would be great.

There are plenty of good ideas that could fill the next decade.
