Yeah, this was out for a while. I don't think it affects all of the preorders though.

Called it when the first crowd fundeded bot went up.
There is a big spoiler on the star saber box.
Gonna crowd fund this.
Awesome.
At $285 shipped.

Deathsaurus and Thunderclash are my most wanted transformers currently so I already backed it even tough I don't really have the money right now.

Hoping the Thunderclash rumors turns out to be true too.

I haven't ordered since the big sale so I don't know if they have recently changed that.


On the other hand I can also see where maybe they aren't willing to lose as much on shipping anymore, but you would think that would apply to a much bigger Haslab box than what this would be.

I received an answer from Hasbro Pulse about the Deathsaurus shipping:

Thank you for your email.

If you order 2 Deathsaurus HasLab figures, you will be charged shipping for each one, regardless of which country you live in. There is unfortunately no way for us to combine the shipping charges.

This is a recent change to the policy for shipping.

Kind regards,
Hasbro Pulse

Pretty crummy. I don't know if that's a change for non HasLab items though. If so, I'm definitely done with regular HasbroPulse orders and will stick with only interesting HasLab. Cheaper to buy from Taiwan...

YIKES!!


That is terrible news, but I guess with the size of Haslabs it was bound to happen eventually.



You're right though, if this trickles down to the regular Pulse orders it will become like BBTS et al. Only orders for stuff that is exclusive that I really, really, really want.


What's even worse is that they seem to still have free shipping for US/UK Premium members (for Haslabs), so it really does benefit only those people who are in country for Pulse.


Oh and Deathsaurus is at 5,518 so just past the 50% mark in the first few days. A good sign going forward.

On 10/27, I recently ordered both Serpentor and Dr Mindbender and got combined shipping. So hope single shipping quotes don’t happen on Hasbropulse items in future. This shipping change may be the result of Haslabs being shipped separately. Heard people bought multiple Galactus Haslabs, but only one shipped initially.

Maybe also due to the size of the Haslabs, what with most of them being huge boxes.


I mean I got Galactus last week, and the box is about the same size as my 40" TV box and a bit heavier. So I would imagine that Hasbro has been taking it on the chin for these shipping.



Still blows though since they still offer free shipping to the US and UK, but we get the shaft.

This I agree with. From what I recall with Unicron, they have a depot of some kind in the HasLabs in Canada that they then ship from, so it's not like they can't get a similar deal as whatever they are giving away for free in the US. SIGH.

I have a friend in the US I ship Pulse stuff to, there is no free shipping option? Or is that for Premium members only?
