I’d email them and complain. They may offer a coupon or something. That’s not fair. I ordered 1 minute after drop.

I pre ordered on the day it dropped. An i got a cancel email last night… grr.
SeahawkSpeed
I’m sorry, I had the vague idea that they oversold due to how long the pre-order was up. When did you order? You got an email?

Annnnnnd Hasbro Pulse out of nowhere cancels my DLX Nemesis Prime.

I think the real problem isnt the cost of production. The real problem is the cost of corporate greed. The money that could be used to operate a factory in America is lining the pockets of CEOs. Not just Hasbro but all companies that make products in Asia to dodge the cost of paying American wages for labor. Instead of the consumer absorbing the costs, how about trimming some of the corporate fat ? Do they have to be rich ? Isnt wealthy good enough ?

It\'s only an toy / figure / collectable. If it needs to be delayed so be it, I don\'t care if I get it now or later. My life doesn\'t depend on it and I have other things to deal with. As long as it eventually gets here cool.

Anyone want to sell their Nemesis?
Electro Rush
Ideally I'd like to see that too, but people think these things cost too much as it is already.

At this point I think I would not mind paying more knowing my toys are not made by people that are basically slaves.

You want to pay $40 for a deluxe? We'd be paying third party prices as a result.

We can only hope these products don't get delayed any further.

Do we know when the second batch of the regular Dlx Prime is released?

We are fine. Plus the world is getting a nice timeout. CO2 emissions have had a huge decrease already, owing to those fear reactions. Humans are dumb that way, but it pays off
I can wait for toys. I've been waiting years for certain characters to even get a good toy. I'm all in for that. Let the fear rule our rulers

I think that you were being very reasonable!

Thank you, someone is being a coherent voice of reason, unlike what i said. which is incoherent apparently,

Can some of you calm down? This is a forum where a large chunk of discussion is about Toys, so of course we’ll be disappointed when we have delays in stuff. Even with something understandable such as this virus won't stop people from being disappointed. I am not getting either of these figures so it doesn’t effect me.
Geez, yes something serious is going on but give people a break for expressing disappointment. No one is choosing toys over lives. Stuff like this sucks but we’ll all get over it.
On topic, I wish their TLK Megatron would have been mentioned. I would like to hear some news about that one.

Thats pretty much the foundation of his argument. Like, congratulations in being healthy as a horse and apparently living alone. As someone who lives with my parents and grandma, I’m not worried about getting personally because it will be a pretty mild inconvenience to me, but not to my parents or grandma.
Top US health official says the coronavirus is 10 times 'more lethal' than the seasonal flu
It’s like people are just in compete denial in regards to what’s happening and are just burying their heads in the sand. There’s an entire country on lockdown because of this virus, but sure. Let’s not at least be mildly concerned. It’ll just “go away. It’ll be a miracle.”

Oh never bought that but feel bad for the people that had bought it.
Smitty.1981
Yeah but the people at the greatest risk with coronavirus are also at the greatest risk for the flu.

The real problem with the corona virus is that even if healthy people survive it, they bring it home and infect people that cant survive it. Older people have weaker immune systems. And this sparks fear in the US where older people run the government and own most of the financial capital.
