CIV McQuarrie Luke @ Hasbro Toy Shop

[MaulFan]

Huh.....I wonder how this will effect the Lukes from C:IV on eBay? A lot of collectors just wanted to figures.....I want mine with the C:IV logo to match the C:III Vader and C:II Jorg so the Hasbros really wouldn't work right? I have one on order to open but I've heard these are the standard releases not the C:IV version....

You are correct, the only similarity between the convention figure and the online order figure is both are exclusive to Hasbro Toy Shop and not offered on the standarad market, otherwise, the CIV version is packed with CIV related materials including the sticker, where the web version is just regular 30th Anniversary Collection style figure in a special case.

Well I asked if I can adjust my order for a second figure and was told I couldn't probably because it's now sold out.. Hopefully they will rerelease this one sometime in the future so I can actually have one opened dueling with Concept Vader either that or buy those two statues from Kotobukiya.

 

[Batty]

I just checked...he's back in stock.

 

[Sachiel]

Thanks! Hope I get one.

There are only 46 in stock, so move fast!!!

Interestingly, now it's listed as "Usually ships within one business day", but it wasn't slated to ship until June 11 when I ordered from the first batch yesterday.

Hopefully, this means that my order will also be shipping on Tuesday after the holidays. Crossing my fingers...

EDIT: My order status still lists 6/11 as the ship date.

 

[Sachiel]

Good thing I got here when I did.

 

[JGouse0498]

It's now listed as "Out of Stock"

Don't know when it happened, but obviously sometime within the past half hour.

On a side note, Master Replicas still has their former exclusives for sale: the scaled Wedge Antilles helmet and the scaled Medal of Yavin.

They now have the exclusive 501st in stock. Or is he always available?

Not sure but they had them at CIV too. I was able to buy a case of vintage so I got all 6:chew

Been available since SDCC man. I know it's dif. because fo the sticker/cardback, but it made me feel like my fight in line was in vain.

There is a disturbing report at JediDefender.com that those of us that ordered the CIV Concept Luke Skywalker will be receiving an email from HasbroToyShop, informing us that this figure was not intended to qualify for the special Hasbro Coupon Code. That means if you want the figure, you'll have to pay the full price plus the shipping. You will also have the option to cancel your order(s).

So, if you receive an email from HTS.com in the next day or so, be prepared.

 

[Seth Gecko]

Then **** em i'll cancel!!(not that it's a huge deal but it's already done for Christ's sake)

 

[JGouse0498]

Yeah, that's pretty crappy of them. Still, they'll only be charging the original price plus the shipping, so I'll just swallow my pride and keep the order since I don't want to pay scalper prices plus I managed to get the Droids from Toyrocket.

But I am going to mention how displeased I am in my e-mail response indicating I'll keep the order and that I will likely think twice about ordering from them in the future when I have a choice. Granted, it'll probably fall on deaf ears (especially since they still get my $$$), but it'll make me feel better...

 

[MaulFan]

Wow, glad I ordered both of mine without the coupon code, saves me some BS, but I have to say, this is a poor play on Hasbro's part, at least StarWarsShop honors this sort of thing when they have a mishap, like the Lucas Family set that went up for $10 less for a week or so then back to normal, I had preordered before the mishap and they refunded me, that's what stand up companies do.

 

[Batty]

Has anyone actually received this email from Hasbro? Just wondering.

I haven't.

 

[Sachiel]

No and we shouldn't if they know what's good. :emperor

Or print out an invoice right now of the correct charge (with the free shipping and discount). Then, if they charge you extra, challenge the extra with your Credit Card. With that proof of sale, your card will side with you. I guess it's a lot of work for 10 bucks, but I plan to do it if they try any of that crap. It's there system, not my fault they fubared.

 

[MaulFan]

No one will be charged for a few more weeks, they're not shipping until 6/11.

Well, I sent them an email telling them I ordered it without the code and asked if I could alter my order to use it. They emailed me back and said they would cancel it and told me to order it again using the code... so somebody there thought it was ok.
