No, and like a fool I'd been stalking since Monday the HTS site every hour from 8 am until night - just waiting for anything. So the figs were online at 12:08, and it shortly disappears. What a waste. This hobby shouldn't be so much hassle. Hasbro is making it really easy to dislike their practices. From poor Dollar Store distribution, to rare, overpriced figures, and pushed back lines with no alternatives in sight. Just terribly run.

This is a direct quote from a guy over on hisstank, but it seriously sums up this entire year in collecting. I know it's not entirely Hasbro's fault the movie was pushed back, but that doesn't make the statement any less true.

Quote:

In this past year Hasbro has made 30 plus exclusive figures and less than 20 figures for the general public. I am not sure I want to be paying 20-40-75 a figure for 30 figures a year. I did it last year but I am not so sure I care in 2012 for a $40 plus figure and shame on the world making the line so impossible to collect.

I was on when they came up, but I couldn't get the site to load to order them. I think they were available for five minutes at most. The only thing I really wanted was a white Jinx, truth be told I think the red one looks like crap. But this was ridiculous. I thought the red Jinx didn't even sell out at the con, how could she go THAT quick? This crap isn't worth so much trouble. __________________ Star Wars Box \| The Viper Pit

This all started with Crimson Strike Force back in 2002 and has gotten worse. I'm glad I don't collect modern. I only ever wanted to collect toys, not collectibles of artificially induced rarity.

I feel bad for those that missed the jinxes, they do look nice, but I don't collect modern style and I'm glad I don't considering how much of a fiasco it has become. __________________ My Flickr Page "It was long ago, and it was far away, and it was so much better than it is today."

LOL. Well the best consolation in this case with the Jinx figures is that next year they will be out with better gear. The End. I'd rather brush up on my paint skills than pay double-triple the price of a regular figure.
