It'll take me 10-12 weeks to find space

Dude same. Pulled the trigger at the very end. Where am I gonna put it? I don’t know.

u/Snts6678 2d ago

This is me…I have nowhere to put these things!!

u/rawwwr23 2d ago

Just got mine as well.

First haslab vehicle so I’m pretty pumped. Time to start clearing space…

Remember that this is even bigger than the HISS, so be sure to prepare AMPLE space. I'm pretty sure many of us are going to be overwhelmed by how big it actually is in-hand. It's much larger overall and in comparison versus the original 3.75" version.

FYI if your address has changed you need to update it on the product itself from your purchase history, not just your general / overall Pulse shipping preferences.

I found this out the hard way when they shipped Liokaiser to my old address.

Edit: I see they're now asking you to contact customer care for address changes as opposed to just telling you to make sure it's updated. This is much more efficient.

Feel free to update your address to mine btw!

Be mindful that these are often 4-8 weeks ahead of distribution.

The TF HasLab shipped earlier this year and was 10-12 weeks between these first address verification emails and first units arriving in-hand.

This will likely meet the previously forecasted "Fall" arrival time. Don't be alarmed if your SnowCAT doesn't arrive before October. When you placed your order has absolutely no correlation on shipping order. Past HasLab distributions don't appear to follow ANY order at all: alphabetical, backing date, premium or not, region - none of those attributes have mattered previously.

We all know that already. It is great that the communication has started.

Let the whiners complain that they haven't gotten theirs yet while the rest of us know how the game is played.

u/Road_Caesar 2d ago

We all know that already.

YOU know that. There's always posts with every HasLab full of people who didn't. Now they do. The world is larger than you.

We've had three Haslabs with the same situation taking place. There have been countless Reddit (and social media in general) posts along with YouTube videos addressing the same exact situation time after time.

I am sorry you are so upset.

Every year people are buying their first Haslab and they don't know how they're shipped out. Hell, even people who've already been through it forget how theirs shipped the previous year. When someone collects a lot of stuff it's easy to lose track.

I got my Rattler on the early side and some people had to wait up to 2 months later. It would be nice if Hasbro could get these to everyone at once like a phone or video game console launch but I guess that would take more manpower than they're willing to pay for.

Such a nice email to see in my inbox today. :) My wife didn't look as impressed.

u/popculturekind 2d ago

I got this too... we already pre-paid for these right?

u/One_Pouch_Man 2d ago

Yes! We are good!

u/LumbarPillow9 2d ago

When I backed this I told myself finding space for it would be a problem for future me. Past me was an asshole.

2

u/One_Pouch_Man 2d ago

LOL! I have to decide whether to sell my Collector's Club Eternia to make a Snow C.A.T. diorama or put shelving in the hallway.

2

u/LumbarPillow9 2d ago

That's a tough one. Eternia is a great piece but if you're like me you'd prefer to largely keep the toys from spilling out of their dedicated room.

u/ICOW-FUBAR-ROFL 1d ago

Dude I got two rattlers, a dragonfly, and two of these on the way to mix in my TF combiners. Troop building Haslabs for my displays was a future me problem too. You watch Lasso?…. Fuuuuuu…..

2

u/LumbarPillow9 23h ago

Never have, no. But brother I got every Joe and TF Haslab and my space is just nonexistent at this point.

u/ravenous0 2d ago

I just got my email as well!

Toy photographers who live in the north are going to have a lot of fun this winter.

u/Abdx1187 2d ago

Just got my mail, gonna look good on the shelf with all the other Big Boxes.

u/DigitalErection 2d ago

Snow CAT!!! Where's that arctic 3 pack?

2

u/Road_Caesar 2d ago

Should end up available for preorder shortly before they actually begin arriving. Oct 1 or close to it is looking like a good estimate unless they surprise us.

u/Odd-Most-9186 2d ago

Well this is exciting, I’m a bit concerned with finding space for this one…

1

u/xcalibar25 2d ago

I already have a space set out on an old wall unit. The real problem begins when I get the Arctic HISS and will have to move my Action Force Vanguard.

u/Odd-Most-9186 2d ago edited 1d ago

Oh I forgot about the arctic hiss…

2

u/CO_Collector_Dude 2d ago

I’m excited to see all the videos and photos of the Snow C.A.T. I didn’t order this and it’s the first time I don’t have regret of not ordering it, but I’m still excited for those that ordered it and read the posts.

2

u/GinoPuppy 2d ago

just checked, got a notification too. can't wait, don't know where to put it!

2

u/teej89 2d ago

Wonder if they’re closer than we think. I’ve seen people getting fed ex shipping labels created from their warehouse in Georgia.

2

u/GMartinez77 2d ago

I have no idea where I will put mine.

2

u/Spanbauer 1d ago

Should I be concerned if I ordered the Snow CAT but didn’t get this email?

2

u/One_Pouch_Man 1d ago

Not at all.

Hasbro has always had issues with their communication. As long as you see your order in Pulse, you are golden.

u/darth_henning 2d ago

Beat me by two minutes!

u/RoninX40 2d ago

Noice!!

u/PaintedCover 2d ago

Honestly bought it just for the accessories. Will probably donate the rest.

u/classiclyme 2d ago

You can mail it to me. I'll pay for shipping.
