I managed to order a pair of these and now I can't find any of the new products on the Pulse site...

Sold out!

It's bouncing in and out of stock, so act fast...

Looks like it is back to Sold Out again.

Sold out!   :o

I'm a little shocked no other retailer picked up this army builder set.
Maybe I'll get lucky and someone will have cancelled an order by the time I can check out  :P

Wow, didn't expect that.  Hardly anything sells out these days.  I bet it'll be back.

I see that some people were able to order the limit of 10 packs. I guess I can understand how the pack sold out in 20 minutes then. Army builders gonna army build... :D

Oh damn, I ordered 2 and now I wish I'd ordered more.  I didn't realize the limit was that high.

As for things selling out... I'm now wondering if Hasbro is ordering smaller quantities.  The last few sets of preorders DO seem to be selling out.  The Landspeeder, Carson Teva, Asajj Ventress, Dengar, Kallus, Crosshair, and Bantha are all also marked as sold out.  That's pretty unusual I think and you can still preorder almost all the older things.

I think maybe they are just taking less pre-orders?  Take a smaller % of the manufacturing run as pre-sells and then sell a larger % of the manufacturing run at whatever the price ends up being after tariffs (if those are still in place when this arrives in the Fall)?

That would make sense, yeah.  Don't lock in as many at this price so you can be more flexible to charge actual costs when you know what they are.  I'm buying that...

I hope this is back in stock before May 9th.  It sounds like prices are going up after that.

Reminder:  Pre-orders for this item will open again at Hasbro Pulse today at 1pm ET. 

Not sure how many more units will be made available so be sure to set your alarms and be logged in and ready if you still need it...

There was a limit of 3 per customer on these sets.  I ordered 2 for myself after getting shut out the first time around.

I also grabbed three, would have loved 5+ but am glad to have gotten any at this point.

Hmmmm, I ordered two the first round then two today without realizing the limit was 3.

I wonder if they’re going to cut one of my orders in half, or cancel one outright…

My guess is once these are released there will be more available that people can order, including at ShopDisney.
