Just wanted you guys to know that I just received an email from Zavvi (the German distributor of the Haslab pack) “apologizing” that the delivery date was moved to January 2023.
I don’t know how reliable this info is, just wanted to put it out there.
If you are in the US I would not read too much into this. The rest of the world got the Hasbro Nerf Pulse Rifle months before the US preorders. I was told by Hasbro that other markets would get items first.
Jan 2023 is probably and usually the beta date, not the actual release date; they (HASLAB) are trying to get them out by Spring 2023, so it will be from March 20th until June 21st.
Hasbro published their first unboxing video of the Haslab Galactus in late July, they started shipping in October. If the three months timeframe is an indicator, January looks quite possible for the pack. And zavvi is the main distributor for the proton pack in Europe, not just any 3rd party.
Tbh, it wouldn’t surprise me IF it is in January, considering it looks like they’ve got the packs all sorted out for those who backed the HASLAB project and those who pre-ordered theirs from Zavvi. It’d be a nice new years surprise though.
Edit: -
This is what it says on HASLAB Spengler Proton Pack page -
"Hasbro Pulse UK is offering you the opportunity to back the proposed Crowdfunded Product GHOSTBUSTERS PLASMA SERIES SPENGLER’S PROTON PACK (“Crowdfunded Product”) for £359.99 including VAT and free delivery. The project backing period for this campaign will commence on 27th October 2021 and we will stop accepting backers at 11.59 PM GMT on 12th December 2021. If the HASLAB GHOSTBUSTERS PROTON PACK campaign reaches its minimum goal of 7,000 backers by expiry time and date of the project backing period, your submission will become an order and your eligible payment method will be charged. The Crowdfunded Product will then go into production. Orders are estimated to be delivered no later than March 2023 and within 2-3 business days from notification of dispatch.
UPDATE: just received shipping confirmation!! This is scheduled to arrive next week!!!
Slight (potential) sour grape: apparently they ship from the UK. Soooo, I guess I will have to pay customs/tax on a 430€ item. I don’t think Zavvi had provided this info during the ordering process (or I simply ignored it). Does anyone else who ordered via Zavvi to Germany habe more detailed knowledge?
I don’t think that’s known, just that one of the German customers had a company with “UK” in their name on the tracking info. That info can also not be 100% accurate, they might use the same code worldwide, or in Europe, for example. But additionally Zavvi UK might be getting theirs first for onward distribution to places like Australia that take time.
Happy to rely on “Spring” with anything sooner being a bonus rather than an entitlement
Absolutely, although given Hasbro Pulse and Zavvi are beginning to email shipping notifications to people, it isn’t really an entitlement to expect to receive it in a similar timeframe, but perhaps they are staggering it for logistical reasons.
