We received word this morning from several followers that some accounts with existing open preorders have been changed to “cancelled” status without sending out email notifications of the changes. Hasbro Pulse customer service is aware of the issue and has said that it is a technical issue and the orders are still open and not cancelled.
As a follow-up to our report yesterday, Hasbro Pulse via Instagram has officially announced that Tuesday, March 31 they will hold a Fan Appreciation day with new reveals on select fan sites* for figures coming in 2020. Stay tuned for detail and follow Hasbro Pulse on Instagram,
*Not this one.

If you didn’t follow Hasbro’s other Toy Fair presentations (namely Marvel), you many have missed that they are producing army builder Hydra Troopers for their Marvel Legends line as a Hasbro Pulse exclusive. These figures come with a weaopn in a sealed baggie and packed in a window-less box for only $14.99 each. When word of this came out, I thought the Black Series line could use something similar for stormtroopers and clones. Above is an example of this concept which I hope Hasbro has in the works, or at least something like it.
Hasbro will be presenting their NYTF coverage this year via a livestream on their Facebook channel. We will be aggregating their news and info (pertaining to Star Wars only) after the break. Please keep comment focused on the Star Wars brand only, thanks.

Please note that your order is confirmed, but this item will not be shipping until November 4, 2019. We apologize for any inconvenience. Should you wish to cancel your order, please contact us and we’ll issue a full refund.
We’ve received and read several reports of collectors receiving their shipments of convention exclusives from Hasbro Pulse with varying degrees of damage. Boba Fett with crushed blisters, Jedi Legacy packs with folded over/creased upper tabs due to being packed into small of a box, and Sith Trooper boxes crushed or torn. Hopefully these reports are in the minority, especially with the lengths collectors had to go through to even be able to order them (aside from the Luke Set).
