G.I. Joe Classified - News & Updates

I wonder if they see a drop in memberships around SDCC every year. Feels like every year this is used as a drive for signups. I find Pulse shipping last the bigger offense than trying to use exclusives to drive memberships. The whole point of a membership is benefits, of course they want you to sign up for early access, and yet how often does every retailer get their stock before Pulse itself? I wonder how many orders they lose every year to Amazon or BBTS when the figures are in stock a month sooner for them.
 
It is WAY more important to keep your major retail partners happy than the (relative) handful of Pulse subscribers. If Pulse reliably got everything first they would be undercutting retail sales and partners might order fewer... so from a business perspective it makes sense.
 
Back when I bothered, I was subbing around Pulsecon so was covered for the 'important' parts of the year. But given that shipping is free when you spend 50 regardless of Premium or not, I was finding that the free shipping aspect was mostly worthless because I'd usually spend enough to qualify without it anyway. That just leaves the exclusive items but as I don't buy mainline Transformers, and very few Legends or Black Series, which are the exclusives that always sell out fast. My main reason to get it would be for Joes...

..but those almost never sell out here. Nemesis Enforcer, Chuckles, Pythona, the Crimson Strike set, Ramp Rats, Movie CoCo are all still available. Combine that with the obscene price gouging this year and I'm just checked out, I'll take my chances elsewhere.

I guess you're not talking about US Pulse.
 
So my membership expires tomorrow and it appears I have to wait until then to renew? When I click on the become a member button it just says I'm already a member.
 
Well, Im down for the TTT. The final shots and stuff have sold me on it. Excited for Hardball, excited for Daina, indifferent to other reveals. Modern Shipwreck maybe.

Flash looks fine and also... maybe a decent Peter Parker head? I'll have to see how it looks when I get it.
Falcon looks decent

psyched for those who like Dreadnoks getting their Thunder Machine, but not for me.
