Slip of the tongue when preparing the statement? It can't be an Australia/Austria thing because both are specifically mentioned in the statement

I hope we do get Pulse here because at least we might be able to get these harder to find items at a decent price than supporting scalpers who will overcharge on limited items.

The DREAM - so much less stress about trying to import things.

Although RIP to EBGames.

oh...no....how unfortunate.....

But listening to the interview, it only mentions GI Joe Classified on Hasbro Pulse so maybe no to Transformers at this time.

And going on about the Australia/Austria thing, she says both Australia and then Austria not long after so maybe Hasbro Pulse might be coming sometime next year for certain brands.

I'd love to stop giving so much money to both Gamestop and Jeff Bezos. Bring on Hasbro Pulse I say.

I keep asking if it will be opened up here, but if it does happen, it will be a big surprise that even I won't know about.
I think it will have a lot to with how it is set up here in terms of warehousing and distribution, as it wouldn't be something done by Hasbro themselves... and they already outsource their national warehousing/importing, but that company wouldn't be expected to do customer orders and shipping.

Not to kick our Transformers fandom in the teeth, but at least most transformers items do get to EB/Zing. That G.I.Joe stuff doesn't seem to show up anywhere.

Your best chance for GI Joes is Amazon really. Or check Toymate and TK Maxx. Toymate has them on sale at the moment for $19. Got myself a couple of B.A.Ts and Alley Vipers from my Toymate the other day. TK Maxx has had some for $30 or red tagged at $22. There was Roadblock, Scarlet, Snake Eyes and Destro amongst them...

TK Maxx sells toys? I didn't know. I think i visited the outlet when it first opened but never saw any toys, so just assumed they don't have a toy section.

You would be amazed what you might find in TK Maxx from time to time... at the moment, you will find the last wave of Kingdom figures (Galvatron, Magnus, Rhinox and Tigatron and 'cheap' too), they had some later Earthrise voyagers at one point.

From time to time, they will have Marvel Legends figures fairly cheap. For example, i picked up a Professor X deluxe for $25 early this year. I picked up a couple of others last week.

At least once a month, you might find some 'diamonds in the rough' in there...
