    Is Hasbro Pulse set to expand to Australia?
    Youtuber Dan Who? recently talked to a Hasbro rep by the name of Emily at MCM Comiccon about G.I. Joe and in his video he asked about the lines move to go Hasbro Pulse Exclusive in the UK(the question starts at 17:31 if the timestamp in the link doesn't work) said rep read out a prepared statement from 'Consumer Care', along the already known news the GI Joe classified line would be Pulse exclusive in several European Markets and the UK, it would be available through Pulse in Australia, sounds good except we don't have Pulse yet do we? 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.

    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 have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.

    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.
