Those who didn't get them are the ones who were either way too late or the ones that were waiting for a discount due to not wanting to pay the higher prices of a multipsck. I had a solid 2 months to order greenlight when she was available to ship but chose to wait for a discount that never came. That's on me.
With the conehead 2 pack, Amazon NEVER delivered them to many collectors who preordered them, including me.
This is not even close to the same thing.

It's not just Hasbro, it's also Mattel and NECA and Lego. It's not just toys, it's also trading cards and other collectibles. It's not just nerd media, it's also electronics and sneakers and ....
I'm not going to say it doesn't suck. I wish Hasbro and retailers knew exactly how much would sell, and everyone who wanted a toy could get exactly as many toys as they wanted, but that's not how it works. I wish scalpers didn't have as much success at locking out the market using bots and hitting the pavement, but they have.
Hasbro might not care enough to reform the entire retail marketplace, but they're trying to do right by at least some fans through Pulse, which has quantity limits and basic bot detection. I know it's only in a handful of markets, but it's clear with the UK expansion that they want to reach more people. It's not great, but it could definitely be worse.

#1. Hasbro doesn't know what's going on.
#2. Hasbro can't make a ton more of all the exclusives so everybody can easily buy one & put a stop to scalping.
#3. These figures have to have such a tiny window/time limit.
#4. The only exclusive that has been mentioned so far is the Dirge/Ramjet pack but nobody told Hasbro about Siege Skywarp or Greenlight.
And not only exclusives. I think it's completely ridiculous how titan Scorponok showed up for only about 1 month last year, sold out everywhere & immediately shot up to $200 or $300. Now I've been waiting a full year for more to be restocked. Let that sink in, 1 FULL YEAR! What a load of BS! I didn't pre-order him because I wanted to buy him closer to November or December. But you can no longer choose when you want to make a large purchase like that. Now if you don't pre-order immediately you don't get it. And some Targets had him IN STORES but none in my area, all the Targets near me are tiny stores. I wasted time hoping to find him in a store. Then I learned that none of the stores near me would be carrying it.
This entire situation is F'in ridiculous! I have a Scorponok pre-ordered at BBTS, it says it's due in June. But I can't count on that. I'm expecting June to come & go & Scorponok won't show up. Because that's exactly what happened to my Quintesson Pit Of Judgement at HasbroPulse. They delayed it by 3 months. I won't be surprised if they delay it again.
Hasbro made some horrible changes in the past couple years. Less figures being produced, tiny cases & stores taking more pre-orders than they can fulfill. Hasbro needs to revert back to the way it was. These new changes are absolutely horrible. It's perfectly ok to go back to the old ways when you try out something new & it doesn't work. No shame in that.
Target's exclusive Thrust was packed 2 per case. That nonsense NEEDS TO STOP IMMEDIATELY! Thrust should've been packed at least 8 per case. Those are the kinds of new changes that don't work & need to be corrected immediately.
I don't think they can make it any more difficult to collect this crap. And if you look on Youtube, collectors from all of Hasbro's lines are going nuts. And also NECA collectors. And Master Of The Universe collectors. Mattel, Hasbro & NECA are driving all toy collectors insane. If it gets much worse collectors are going to start murdering each other over this crap. https://www.fox6now.com/news/fight-over-trading-cards-outside-brookfield-target

what gets me is making exclusives out of figures that shouldn't be exclusives these would sell well at normal retail

Considering the cyber verse Alpha Trion I would think they would do this in the near future. I could see it being a generation select figure.

Perfect idea for a Select repaint. And it would have made way more sense to post this into the Select thread than posting it in the ER thread, where this post is DOUBLE off-topic.
