I got through checkout with all three and got an SSL error after that all sold out. So angry.

I agree, I hung up with her and literally 1-3 minutes later I refreshed and they were listed. Luckily I got back through instantly and managed to snag a Brute, but damn.

They give you a time limit, but what is in your cart is yours until you run out of time or dont complete the order. Hasbro is not awesome. And why did the lady on the phone say anytime between now and Friday. Real customer friendly.

I think the picture for Bruticus is one of the better I've seen. If Blast-Off's cockpit was higher like Vortex's tail rotor, which it looks like it can move a bit on the shoulder peg, it should look pretty darn good at least as a display.

Missed all the stuff I really wanted, in my cart then after Paypal, gone, so I didn't get anything.
Might get CJ later. And I literally just went through... add to cart.. add to cart.. add to cart... then checkout. Everything was going so well too.
well, I did get the HISS earlier on eBay, for double the price plus shipping, but man, this was the first year I was not able to get any of the things I want from HTS (Joe or Transformers).

I know that everyone has been watching HTS like a hawk and not just me, but I've seriously wasted two and half days camping the site only to come up empty handed. This was the version of Bruty that I really wanted.
Oh well, I just pre-ordered the G2 version off Amazon for $49.00 since I had a $10 voucher. That makes each figure only $10 which is probably what they're worth AND I'll still get a special box/packaging and won't have to hunt them down individually. The G2 version was my second favorite and I only spent half as much, but I still feel like lost coming in a second place finish...
At least I don't have to hit F5 every 15 seconds now. I'm happy that at least some of you were able to snag one. I hope they don't wait until the Wednesday after SDCC next year to post these!

Agreed. In four or five years of playing this game, I've always managed to come out on top, maybe a bit worse for the wear. But this was brutal. And losing an item that's already in your cart is just cruel. Time to feed the scalpers for my Bruticus...

The only thing I really want is Cliffjumper, and I can wait for him at retail. The MLP would be nice for my daughter, but $20 for a $5 toy, ouch.
Am I the only one who thinks the Avengers Helicarrier looks like crap? I realize it can't be EXACTLY like the on-screen ship, but did the toy guys even SEE the movie? Two completely different things. And huge scale-fail w/ the included figures. Pass; hopefully they'll make a small-scale die-cast or something that looks like the one in the movie.

Well CJ is now out of stock as well when it was in my cart during checkout!! This is getting to be bullshit!! First off HTS should announce WHEN they are going to do this, Next, they should set limits on items so a-hole scalpers arent buying 10 of each or more and nuking everyone on Ebay. Hell at least last year I got all but Starscream and they stayed in stock for at least a few hours with everything else!!
This year was just pathetic!! Even the prices anymore are ridiculous. I think Hasbro along with everyone else has lost all concept of what "collector" really means! They do NOTHING to really help the "collector" to actually GET these items easily. or even in a reasonable price range, hell not even close!! Instead they just see a chance at creating some new packaging, and selling new toys for double on up of what retail would be. Only for most "collectors" to "miss out" on there "collectible toys". I know Im ranting now, but its bullshit!! And you all know it!!
CORRECTION, I GUESS THERE WAS A LIMIT. TOO BAD IT DIDNT MATTER, RIGHT?

And already sold out at less than an hour.
EDIT: Hell...going off the earlier posts, the Exclusives LITERALLY hit the site and sold out in the time it took me to go take a shit. I mean, yeah, it WAS a big shit, but COME ON...

Wouldn't surprise me if people used some kind bot system to buy all the stock. Happens with ticketmaster all the time. Bruticus was too hot to not let that happen.
Either way, I don't care much.

F!!!!
This REALLY p!$$es me off!
I could have snagged these if I thought today was the day, and I even checked this morning around 9AM
Mattycollector has a "coming soon" notification for their SDCC stuff

Well, I found out too late... But, living through last year's trauma, I'm not surprised at these items being sold out quickly. It would've been nice to know when these were being put up for sale, but I guess there's nothing obligating Hasbro to announce this - these were all show exclusives. The other issue is that some of these sold out at the Con, so I didn't imagine there would be plenty leftover for online sale.
I just feel sour about the going non-Con prices for these, but makes me realize that I didn't really need to get Bruticus or CJ (I already have the Takara Terrorcon). HISSwave is still a must... and the X-Force 3-pack.
