Was it like in 2 minutes stupid fast? I jumped on the botbots set (all I was interested in) right at 12:00 eastern and it looked like the Buster Prime was either sold out or not open yet at 12:02 when I checked for my own curiosity.

I checked about 4am, and it was out

Oh man, you missed the fine print. The transformers SDCC exclusives came active at noon eastern, so your check at 4am was too early. Right at noon I grabbed the botbots exclusive and at 12:02 it looked like Buster prime was not active yet. I wasn't getting him, and was supposed to be working, so I didn't think to check again until about 2:00 when he was definitely sold out.

I can't imagine they saved any for non-Premium members, but if they did, I would be ready at noon eastern tomorrow.

I am pissed off with Pulse.

Ghost Prime went up at 11:54AM my time (6 minutes prior to the 12:00 time advertised). i was constantly refreshing so when he came in I was ready. He sold out during my payment processing, at 11:55AM he was out of stock. that was the only time frame he was available.

I am so furious

Holy crap, WTF it was limit 1 and Pulse Premium members only today. Did they only have like 17 available?

They had to have only had a very small stock, there is no way that that sold out in 1 minute with equal stock to throne of the primes or such.

And at that price, you wouldn't expect him to fly off the shelf either, much like Fort max with the sword

Maybe they had some set aside so non-premium members can get a shot too? It's a long shot, but I'm going to stay on top of it just in case. Maybe you should too, if only just to be sure? Anyhow, wish me luck.

I was thinking that might be the case. Good luck!

Curious to see how it goes this morning but yesterday's sell out of Ghostbusters OP was the fastest I've seen a SDCC exclusive disappear in a long time. Very reminiscent of Alternators Nemesis Prime, the first TF/Joe set with Starscream Skystriker and more recently the under-produced 2018 TCG pack.

I went and got one on ebay right after for a $20 markup, or at least when I consider the 8% ebay bucks and lack of sales tax it was effectively that. Good luck to folks this morning!

HOT **** DAMN I GOT ONE!!!!!!!!!

GOT HIM! WOOOHOO!

So they did keep some for the non premium members, nice.

The sale is currently live. I was able to get the booster pack and Blaster vs Soundwave set. Optimus is sold out already. The bot bots are still available.

i frikkin missed again. Refreshed every 10 seconds until he came in stock, tried to order, got logged out of Pulse at the payment section, got back in, went to payment, and when i finalized paypal, I was informed it was out of stock again.

Pulse Premium was a joke. And the fact that this figure was in stock twice for less than a minute is sad, there clearly was more demand for this than anticipated

Got mine with the early access. 11:57 am. The email stated around 12 noon it would go up not exactly at noon. Was able to pick up Legends Hulk a week before and noticed that went on sale at 11:57. It sucks for those who didn't get him even with the limit of 1. Do you think they underestimated how many would want it?

Yeah, when I saw your tweet, I legit felt bad for getting one. The sell out was insanely fast. My wife was entering order info at the exact same time I was, and hers didn't go through.

Vastly so. they underestimated the popularity of this

Yeah I saw your tweet too. the stock must have been tiny.

Plus side though, I have secured one from another source that won't be much more expensive, if at all, than me getting it from Pulse itself

I would be extremely curious to know the exact inventory level they had for this item.

I missed both drops and wasted a Premium membership purchase on this too. Annoyed is an understatement.

Since Wednesday, I'd heard not a peep from Pulse. I was starting to get worried on if the order really did go through or not. Today, they sent an email saying he is on a truck for delivery.

Got my wonky ear GB Prime yesterday, really nice colors. Slight issue with one of the lower leg panels tabbing in but a great figure. He's not embaressed to have the forearm stripes proudly on display where as I try hiding MP10's.
Kind of wish the chest windows were toy Ecto 1 blue rather than green for a more toony look. Would have been nice to have a human figure/GB or 4 with him.

CRAP

so i finally opend my gb prime today and i tried to make him hold his gun and the tip of his trigger finger came off and kept coming off and i was so preoccupied with that one i didnt even think abour the fingertip on the other hand and now s giant expensive toy hs been ruined by a disappearing piece the size of a grain of rice HELP

EDIT: Okay, I eventually found it, I'm feeling better now. Still, thise things pop off way too easily.

You're not the first person I've heard have an issue with the fingers either. I've heard 3 or 4 people on twitter talk about fingers popping off

So far, mine is just fine and dandy, though I really haven't played much with it.
