There is another possibility. On July 24, the Section 122 tariffs will expire. If Hasbro can hold off on having the packs hit US soil until that date, they can avoid 10% in taxes. Considering their asking price of $299 predated the tariff situation in the first place (as well as the new economic realities of transport costs skyrocketing due to a war in the middle east), and that they have not increased this price for any of us, I would say it would make sound financial sense to simply delay the pack as long as possible in order to regain that 10%.
But hey, what do I know. I don’t work for Hasbro.
EDIT: Well slap my knee and call me bobby, if you needed any more proof I don’t work for Hasbro, we all just got an update e-mail stating that they’ve locked down the ship date for the first batch as June 1. Guess they don’t need that 10% after all.
Ok im really confused here…friday will be may 1st…the items will still SHIP IN JUNE…and we will be charged then? So im not all of a sudden going to get hit with a 391 dollar bill from hasbro next month for items shipping in june right? The problem im having is, Hasbro for what ever reason doesn’t send me emails and wont let me change my email address and its not an issue of they are in my junk/spam folder…i never get an email from hasbro for what ever reason. Ive tried to fix this multiple time…idk whats going on there my email address on my account is the correct one. I never blocked them or anything i know that for a fact…i just wana be sure these items are paid for within a budget when i planned on paying for them. Idk im just being anxious i guess.
The most recent experience I have with Hasbro is the Two in the Box.
-Hasbro sent the similar we’re preparing to ship email on November 16, 2024.
-FedEx Delivery Manager, on December 13, let me know there’s a shipment heading to me.
-My credit card was charged on December 13.
-Hasbro sent me the email it shipped on December 14.
-FedEx Delivery Manager, on December 18, let know it will come the next day.
-I got my Two in the Box on December 19.
So if I’m understanding it correctly, this email should only be the 1 month reminder email. Or in other words, in 1 month give or take, the order will be shipping around May 27-29 and that’s when you will be charged then people should be getting theirs the first week of June.
$391? It should only be a couple over $300.
In Order History, looking at my order, under the grand total on the right, I see a link “Change this delivery address”. Do you have that?
When in doubt, contact customer service asap. If anything, to confirm the new shipping address went through.
391 is with the Hasbro Ecto Glow Ecto 1 as well and no matter what i do it wont let me change my email address, which is the correct one. I just dont get email from hasbro. the only way i find out anything is via this forum, Jasons GhostbustersNews youtube channel or me manually checking my hasbro accounts order history. Otherwise im totally in the dark.
If you are not receiving e-mails from Hasbro, absolutely reach out to their support and see if your account has an incorrect e-mail address associated with it on the back-end. Have them update your e-mail and physical address as necessary.
My original card is expiring this month so I tried to update and it said it couldn’t update without a default address, which I already had. I had to remove all payment and address info from the site and start fresh, and even then the actual info page didn’t update for a while.
I logged into the Hasbro Pulse site to double check that my address and payment info was updated only to find out my payment info was missing all together. I don’t know if it’s just me or not, but it might be worth checking if you haven’t already.
Ok so its not just me whos having issues with the site and fixing things. The weird thing is…my email address is the correct one. Idk why they never send me an email about anything…and it wont let me “fix” it. I guess they just dont like me (but still take my money).
It looks like in order to get an email changed/updated, you have to contact the Pulse customer support team: LINK
The only things that come to mind are that sometimes in my workplace, we’ve had problems with emails going to accounts operated by certain email hosts. Which one do you use?
The other thing that came to mind is maybe there’s a small less obvious error buried in the email, like an unexpected gap, or a comma in the place of a period/full stop… Even something like that can cause emails destined for you to go off-course.
The hasbro site was under a cyber attack according to this article,. ive been trying to place an order and keep getting weird errors so had a google and this came up.
What are people’s thoughts on future availability of this pack on Pulse? I’d like to pick it up but have a lot of things going on right now so wouldn’t be able to get it for about a month.
It’s been popping in and out of stock, and so did the Rooftop Showdown set before they shipped then that went in stock and seems to be staying there. Hoping for something similar with this.
Could be some will change their mind and cancel their orders after that reminder email, allowing for a limited quantity to reappear on the site. I’d imagine the Proton Pack would sell out faster than the figures because of demand being greater - prop builders, collectors, fomo from the 1st time it was offered, scalpers.
Thanks, that’s my suspicion as well. It’s hard to tell how Pulse exclusives will go sometimes since they like to play the fomo game of being “sold out” and we have no way of knowing what their inventory is like. I have a Spengler wand and no pack so I’ll have to break down and put it on my card just in case.
Just had Hasbro confirm they took my payment for the 1984 Proton Pack!! Guess those e-mails about the updated May 20 ship date were legit!!
I actually never got the May 20 e-mail (I only got the June 1 one) but several people I know got the May 20 one. But since they just took my money, we must all be getting it! Hooray!!
