No notification… some have remarked on this lately… either way this just showed up at my door.

 

 

My Temple Escape Indy showed up this week as well, but I got all notifications.  And by all I mean a Pulse email two weeks before saying it was about to ship, an email saying they had charged me, and an email from FedEx informing me of the incoming shipment, which they send out if you have a free account with them.

I had received the "Get ready!" notification that they were going to charge my card but did not receive a tracking number or notification that it was even sent out.  There were members of the GI Joe groups that experienced a similar scenario where the current Shipwreck wave mysteriously showed up at their door.

Yea I've heard people say they didn't get notifications as well with Pulse.  Maybe check your spam folder?  Or maybe they just never send them sometimes.

Either way signing up for UPS and FedEx for free accounts means they email you when they receive a package for your address.

I checked the spam folder and did not see anything.  I also have the Fed Ex account that normally notifies me of shipments.  It seems to be a current issue.

Did you guys see that the Haslab Dragonfly hit all it's stretch goals?

[fantastic_four]

Yep.  Seemed clear to me from day one it would hit all of the stretch goals.  Hasbro's GI Joe team has been killing it since the line started a few years ago.

Remember that Walmart Collector Con is going on with all preorders still available:

[Buzzetta]

It's official... we no longer play with toys.  The toys play with us. 

I saw the Optimus Prime but this thing takes the technology to another level. 

$1500

Still not worth that price to me... but one day the price will come down and all Transformers will be like this.

I did pick up this today. 

My lord the comments about why not include Slave Leia or Oola?

Oola has had two different molds and releases since 1995. 

Slave Leia has had four or five different molds (depending on how you count them) in the 3.75" scale not including various rereleases and cardback changes. 

This is the FIRST 8D8 figure since 1997.  An update for this guy has been asked about for years. 

I had the Walmart Exclusive that came with Oola but this definitely was an improvement over that release.   I might justify this purchase by selling off the Walmart version but keep Oola.  

EDIT: Oh yeah, link for anyone that wants one.

 Cool, I can't wait to see all the new stuff in the pipeline for the next year. I can hear my wallet screaming from here. 

And a pernt? Who would know of such a thing? Such a mythical, wondrous thing.
