Saw this disagreed with elsewhere:Lego have been doing it for YEARS. ALL their store exclusives are carried on the Shop At Home website

I know right? And HASBRO ALREADY DOES THIS!
The only ones Hasbro hasn't are Amazon.

I am trying very hard not to be negative and cynical about this. I am trying very hard to hope that they'll just get it right and we'll actually be able to buy toys here. I am hoping.

Had a good look. Seems a bit pish. Pulse Premium gets you...what?
No shipping to Northern Ireland.
I'll stick with Star Action Figures.

I might be tempted. The headmasters are about the same price as everywhere selling them individually, so getting the premium for the free shipping would pay for itself with 7 orders. Scratch that Star have lowered them to £19, but in theory, if 7 orders covered the cost and gave me access to harder to get exclusives, thats maybe worthwhile.
But G2 Ramjet is £3 more than Star. That would require 40 orders each saving 50p on Stars total price in order to cover the premium fee.
Also Star seem to have had a restock. Is Turnbull still after Earth Rise G2 Megatron still?

The Exclusives section has products that any comic shop can order through Diamond.

This has been discussed a lot in the US because the first year renewals came up but the membership had provided nothing except the free delivery. Initially, Premium membership was offered free in the US I think, but when the renewal came up loads of people cancelled. I think this is a good thing, had it been in place before now we might have stood a chance at getting toys like Thrust, and we should now have access to those pulse exclusives that we can never get. Well, for a few seconds before they sell out anyway. |

"Other perks at select fan conventions and more," it says towards the bottom of the page. So, just free postage, then?

Yes, iirc the US members were promised priority on ordering con exclusives but I don't think that actually happened.
In the UK we don't really get stuff like SDCC, when it comes to fan conventions for our brand, it's TFN...

Pulse looks pish. I'm not handing over cash for a 'Premium' service that provides little. No other online toy shop does that.
I'd rather crack a fish over my gnads that sign up for Hasbro Pulse Premium.

I belive it did provide early access to the sdcc exclusives or what would have been sdcc exclusives. And i want to say to a dew other items.
In the us theres talk that pulse will also get aome supply of various store exclusives. If that was available here it would likely be the easiest way to get the next target or walgreen toys

Yes, that's where it could work. I believe it's 5% of store exclusive stock will go to Pulse in the US. But there would be one mad scramble for that 5% if that happened here. I think you're right about the early access too, I recall it did happen back at the start, probably messed up by Covid.
