As you are probably painfully aware by now, HasbroToyShop this morning placed the SDCC exclusives up for sale on their site, including the Revenge of the Jedi Death Star Figure Pack. Needless to say, the site couldn’t handle the rush of traffic to order this and the other exclusives, forcing many to miss out on this highly sought after piece. Couple this latest snafu with the frustration collectors are having finding new product in general and you have the perfect storm for breaking the Tauntaun’s back. Collectors in forums and Facebook and Twitter are voicing their disgust. Let’s hope that Hasbro and HasbroToyShop gets the message (1-800-224-4438).
Even though the Exclusive “Revenge of the Jedi” Vintage Set sold out at SDCC this weekend, fear not as it will be going up for sale on HasbroToyShop.com sometime on Tuesday (July 26, 2011).
If you have placed any orders with HasbroToyShop lately, you could be in for a bit of a surprise when you receive your order.
Some orders are being split into separate packages, and when this happens, it appears the “second” part of the order is being sent via bubble mailers to save them on shipping costs.
The result? Damaged cardbacks. If you’re going to open these anyway, you should be fine. But if you were planning on them all being on minty cards, you might want to check out the photos provided by Yakface forum member AaylaSecurasMan by clicking here.
