Oh man chuck, I remember that stormtrooper story from a while back.

Refresh my memory, just a reminder, the SW figures won't be going up until force Friday in September

Ditto on the still waiting. Is HTS usually so late in actually making things available on the day they say they will be?

I wouldn't call it "late" for them yet. Next half hour to 45 minutes is a good time to watch (just going off previous years, I have no secret info)

Just checked, nothing yet.

As much as a pain as Matty Collector was, I appreciated them telling us what time the items would go up for sale.

Add to cart in the main search page.

Click on the product links in the news story which should take you to the page that has all the exclusives and you should be able to add it to your cart. Had the same problem myself

This is crap, I had to back track to the exclusives page to get a link to add the Joe set to my cart, before I could pay it was listed as out of stock

Wtf! I got all the way through the payment process, sent the money through PayPal and then I get a message saying primitive prime was out of stock. There should be safeguards in place to prevent **** like this from happening.

What kills me is if you just go to the main page you can still add them to your cart

Hasbro only just now sent out an email officially announcing the availability of the SDCC exclusives on HTS, 35 minutes after they went up and about ten minutes after some of them have already sold out.

News Credits: 317 · by **chuckdawg1999** » Mon Aug 14, 2017 12:43 pm

Keep in mind some of these are HasCon exclusives, so there's still some hope.

You should get a message that says there is not enough stock when you try to add them to your cart

Damnit, I obsessively refreshed the skater Prime page all day, I get busy with some customers and of course it goes live, then out of stock while I'm busy.

Seriously. Was there some reason they waited until the middle of the day to make these available? :-x

They must not have had a whole lot of Skater Primes, cause it sounds like he wasn't available for even 5 minutes.

Everything went up at 2pm ET. I got my Primitive Prime ordered within the first ten minutes. After about the first 15 minutes, it sold out.

Going off the chatter on TFW, I think about 5 to 10 minutes. A lot of people had the item page on refresh and the "add" button wasn't available right away. That may have added to the delay. Interesting that TLK OP is still available. I hope that becomes available at a discount later on.

*sigh* Another year, another miss on HTS exclusives. I work nights and sleep during the day so I guess it's partially my fault. I stayed up until 8am refreshing the page and just got up and 3pm. I knew I should have gotten up at 2pm, if I had I probably would have gotten a Primitive Prime.

Selling out in 20 minutes is pretty common for SDCC exclusives. I still don't understand why they don't make the HTS exclusive pre-order "made to order" like Japanese stores do it (including Takara Tomy Mall's Legends Black Convoy and the Legends reissues). It isn't like these are solely SDCC exclusives, they're SDCC and HTS joint exclusives. This isn't just leftovers from SDCC, some of these sold out there, these are an allotment set aside for sale specifically for HTS (mixed with leftovers). Instead of setting any aside only sell the leftovers on HTS for people that want a chance at getting them now and open pre-orders for people that can wait. Why intentionally make us anxious like this refreshing the page all day?

Oh well, I've been complaining about this since the first day they started offering these and the only thing that's changed is the site doesn't crash anymore. I think in all these years I've only been successful two years in getting what I want. It's still the same complaints of things selling out in minutes and things being sold out of people's cart after completing checkout. Hasbro doesn't care about individual experiences when everything sells in the end.

Movie Prime is still available, but after not getting Primitive Prime and finding out the free shipping on $49 and over doesn't apply to exclusives (seriously, why do you have to be that way, Hasbro?) I wasn't willing to pay $60 for it.
