I knew after this happened with cylonus hotspot neck brace and quickslinger, and even groove and viper; that there was a good likelihood he would be up by 4 o'clock; fortunately, my grasp of how the world works allowed me to stay calm;
However, I've already seen several users post that they had to get them through separate purchases (either today or in the past months), so technically my hypothesis that this is done on purpose, to either move stock or to not have to pay for free shipping, still holds merit. It may not be evil, but if they are doing it like this on purpose, it's really not cool.

still waiting on quickslinger and brakeneck to be back in stock.
i look forward to the coupons i get in the mail for hts when my purchases arrive. but last time the one i got had already expired by about a week. that is pretty lame. and today i had to pay the full price when i should have had one that would get me probably 15 percent off and still be good.
Oddly enough, mine still worked today
They extended all codes that expired on 6/15 to 7/15.

Oh.... that is frustrating as HECK. I had FOUR of those promo codes sent to me as a result of previous orders and purchases. All of them, though they were sent over the course of several months, had the expiration date of 6/15.
On 6/15, 6/16, 6/17 and 6/18, I tried these codes out in a shopping cart, just to see if they would work. They didn't. So I presumed they were all expired, and worthless, and threw them away.
Now they suddenly decide to reactivate them and extend the deadline a month? That's very kind of them, but MAN! Why didn't they SAY: "hang onto those cards, we may reactivate your codes"?
I could have used those codes for stuff, but because they let us think they were useless for several days... YOINK.

Would you have a spare one by any chance??

As often as I buy stuff from HBTS, they NEVER send me coupons. I bought CB Motormaster from them last month when he popped up briefly. I think he's back now if anyone needs one:

HTS will usually send a coupon if you make a sufficiently large purchase. Though as with many things they do, they seem to be kind of haphazard about it all. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. I've gotten coupons with purchases under $50, and also NO coupons with purchases over $50. I'm pretty sure it's just some guy in the warehouse who tosses them into boxes but doesn't pay attention to what he's doing all the time
In my case, I'm miffed that all of my June 15 dated promo codes expired and that I threw them away before they let us know they were going to reactivate them. But since I already have Defensor, there aren't any other figures I'm waiting for until the next waves come out, which isn't until Fall or later. So I've got several months between now and when Leader Starscream and the Neo Prime deluxes may or may not be posted on HTS. They're also very spotty regarding what figures they do and don't post as well as when they do and don't post them. It makes monitoring their site for the stuff you want a crap shoot to say the least.
So even if I'm somehow re-sent my thrown-away promo codes, I may not even order anything since the figures I'm now waiting for don't come out until September at the earliest.
