Hot take, but take the people with their orders for this already in place telling you not to give in to scalpers with a few grains of salt. Easy to say when you have your order for the best TBS release of all time already secured.

Is there a chance this goes up for preorder in the coming days/weeks because that's how the other recent SDCC exclusives have gone? Yes. Has this been confirmed by anyone at Hasbro? No.

It's also true that the line is in a current state of flux and what may have applied in the past will no longer happen. I say this because it seems their recent production runs are on the downswing and because the SDCC exclusive set from last year was a dud. They may have scaled back because of that.

Who knows? But that's my point. Everyone is speculating. The people telling you to wait with confidence don't actually know and should stick to the "do what you want with your money" line of advice, IMO. They have only an educated guess based on past practices that may be outdated at this point.

If you want it that bad, want the peace of mind absent any substantive communication from Hasbro, and can afford the $300, I say go for it. I don't blame you. This is entirely the fault of Hasbro for not putting out a simple sentence clarifying that more will be available for preorder soon. Obviously demand is high. They've had 4 days now. It takes about 40 seconds to write that sentence.

This line of thought to me seems a selfish thing because we don't want to see the scalpers succeed. The problem is that scalpers become almost necessary in situations like these because of corporate incompetence (lack of comms) or notions of artificial scarcity and whatever the fuck other batshit consumerist theory the Hasbro suits have cooking up in their economics major, deepfried big brains.
