Whether it be congested ports or consolidated importing by Hasbro, September will go down in my collecting history as the most expensive month ever. I’m sure I’m not alone in this milestone too. It makes you wonder if the HasLab was truly planned to be released at this time or were other vehicles and playsets just delayed? Was it supposed to release earlier but then they decided to coincide it with the Ahsoka show? Why did it take so long for the Throne room to get produced? We preordered it in February of 2022 that’s over 1.5 years ago. After backing numerous Ghosts, Thrones, and N-1s amongst some carded figures I’ve just received from Pulse it’s totaled enough to cover a mortgage…
I’m about ready to hock some worthwhile items to recoup some of these expenses! In the future, Hasbro, I beg of you please spread these expensive items out more. It’s not fair to the collecting community and it certainly decreases the sales of these items since they are now competing against each other within our budgets as many collectors need to cover their monthly expenses for shelter, food, and transportation.
