| Post subject: | NERF Pulse Rifle apparently available in the wild |
So for us that preordered the NERF pulse rifle on Hasbro Pulse thinking that we were getting them first, we were wrong. Apparently they are showing up in retail/comic shops. Case in point one in the UK. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g74Ja_ANjZo&t=107s Although I am still excited to get the 2 I ordered, it does piss me off that others can get them now before me. Keep your eyes open. Of course when I contacted Hasbro Pulse about order ship dates, I got the typical made in advance reply. Quote: Hi Greg, Since we’re fans too, we certainly understand wanting to get hands on the newest collectibles as soon as they’re available, and we do our best to provide fans with what they’re asking for as soon as possible. Unfortunately, some circumstances may be outside of our control, such as the rate of which other retailers or the UK Site may receive items. Just as our warehouse may receive inventory earlier than others in some situations, there may be situations where other retailers are able to fulfill orders prior to us. I have checked with friends in the UK and they have not gotten their preorders yet either. Thank you, Greg |

This is why I didn't order back at the start, pre-orders rarely go well in my opinion. The funny thing is I don't know why they did it, it's not like Hasbro are sort of cash or anything. Harry |

I originally did it cause I thought it was going to be like the previous offerings or even the Ghostbusters' proton pack. I admit I did not look enough to see that it did not require a certain amount preordered to go into production. I have backed several of the other Pulse items and assumed. You know what happens when you assume. Thanks! Greg |

I'll admit to being a bit put out that a supposed limited "sold out" run got opened back up, but I can understand that not everyone had access to orders direct through hasbro and they wanted to make them more widely available through their 3rd party partners (Such as Gamestop in the US. I assume other countries had other 3rd parties). However, it is pretty darned annoying to get leap frogged by that second round of orders. I won't be cancelling or anything extreme, but I can't help but feel all their 'exclusives' partnerships with all their products seems to favor big companies and scalpers over even those people buying direct. So very vexing |

I live in australia and I picked up my 2 about a week ago. They are not bad but still a toy all the same. It will need a fair bit of modding to make more screen accurate. But will be great for cons. 1 of mine is in a million bits at the moment getting cut up and sanded and painted. It’s just a good bit of fun. But don’t expect anything like a snow wolf or HCG. |

I preordered one when they were first announced. I'm a little confused why preorders haven't been fulfilled but it's on the shelves. I also just ordered an HCG brown bess stunt Pulse Rifle and should be getting that soon. |

So yesterday got an email from Hasbro stating they would ship soon. Today around lunch got another saying yesterday's email was in error and due to "production" problems they will not ship be till Nov. I know Mike got this email but did everyone else? So much for Halloween paint up. Thanks! Greg |

I've heard nothing since an e-mail a few months back about some sort of company restructuring and details of which company would be fulfilling the order (eventually). There was no change to the delivery date then. |

Just another day in the crotch kicking world of Hasbro But you can order your face on a figure starting Friday for more money than stated. Hasbro is just another company pissing me off. Not as bad as Anovos and it's vapor ware but they are starting. Will we get the Pulse Rifles, yes but who knows when. We already know the rest of the world is getting them so I do not buy the production/manufacturing excuse as much as a shipping /carrier one. Thanks! Greg |

We understand that you purchased the below item: F5729 NERF LMTD ALIENS M41-A Blaster We recently sent you an email about this product shipping soon. Unfortunately that was a mistake on our end - technology, am I right?! The product is currently in production and has encountered some unexpected delays in the process. The new approx. ship date for this item is November 1, 2022. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience! - Hasbro Pulse Thank! Greg |

Im from Spain and canceled my pre-orders on US and UK friends a week ago just to buy them cheaper (at current usd eur rates) from Spain directly. I must admit this is the most shady, weird, dishonorable and unpleasant marketing campaign ever. Limited edition? Hah. UK/US/CA only? Hah. Time to think twice on their next "crowd funding" project.... |
