I like this figure, but sadly living in the UK means I'll either have to be an exorbitant premium or miss out

Hasbro Pulse is meant to be a pre-order system to judge interest in more niche products. They normally use it for like variant Transformers or expensive high-detail GI Joe figures or stuff like that. Normally, items that reach their threshold for production end up going if not the normal mass production for Hasbro, at least enough that they'll get wide distribution. It's kind of the same with HeroQuest that's going on right now too, you can't get it in Europe, Australia, etc. right now, but when they actually produce the game, it'll probably go through normal distribution chains and thus make it overseas.

I mean you've seen how expensive shipping is for individual products on Kickstarters from here in the states if you're in the UK so you know it'd be the same on Pulse. While it would be nice if Hasbro would give people the option if they want to pay the increased shipping, VAT, etc., I can also understand why they'd want to avoid that hassle. Especially since they're typically niche products for a company used to massive product distribution of hundreds of units per SKU and dozens of SKUs per line going to millions of stores across the country and the world...

Being a transformers fan, I understand the process and why they do it, I know it makes sense for Hasbro, still frustrating though. Still first world problems and all that

I knew this was going to happen, but I didn't dare to say when.

Do you think we will the action figures of the heroes of Dragonlance?

Maybe the drows' skin color is caused by something like the argyria, not by silver but other element.

I thought one of his swords sparkled, like a crappy soppy vampire, rahter than both being icey?

Also the best, and first (? certainly mainstream), pic he was light brown skinned!

First Heroquest only in the US and parts of Canada, now this.

I'm partial to geriatric Drizzt myself.

I'm actually curious about that. HeroQuest is restricted to US and Canada except Quebec. However, the Drizzt figure isn't restricted the same way, it's just US and Canada with no mention of Quebec. Makes me wonder why it's different for a board game.
