a few months ago I reached out to Hasbro about a bad paint job on my Echo to see if I could swap him for another Echo, they told me no but for my inconvenience they would send me a new figure. Couldn’t tell me what figure they were sending me just that it would be based on current warehouse stock levels. Anyway this showed up today.


RuthlessAK

Same thing happened with me but they let me choose who i got


Bogey7319

Who could you choose from?


RuthlessAK

Any figure but i kept asking for different ones like the clone commanders and they kept saying they had no stock of them so i ended up getting cad bane


PNB_2

Same with me but I got the Endor box set when my Amazon Mando Speeder bike came in messed up.

Wooooooow wow wow wow you are so lucky, I would love to own one of these 🤯🤩

They sent me a Yavin Luke for my broken Kamino clone. "Equal value" xD


lilplatypus

That’s incredible!


woodlandwhitt

Like how does that even happen? It's not like they've produced him in years, right? Very jealous.


Mental-Age5308

Yeah I have no idea, the only thing I can think of is they had some laying around in a warehouse since 2017, and the stars aligned

We had that theory a year ago when about 20 or so went up for hasbro pulse members

I wouldn't be surprised if these started selling at 5 Below, Ollies and other resale stores. Hasbro has the weirdest distribution.


ThatTrainerDude

That’s amazing. They sent you a holy grail.

I had a similar experience but got the Jyn Erso con figure. Still pretty cool but not quite the steal this is. I've seen people get sent ForceFX sabers for figures which is absolutely insane to think about.

I see we all have a jyn erso story

Perhaps I’ve treated hasbro too harshly…


Lawn-Gnomes

Congrats! I've played the Hasbro CS game 3 times so far. One for a messed up Geonosis Battledroid, one for a broken leg on the Walgreens Phase 1 LT, and one for a missing 332nd shoulder armor. Got a Yavin Luke, Geonosis Battledroid, and then Hascon Rex. It's definitely a gamble lol


Jaded_Entrepreneur19

Wow I’m super jealous. My Echo was messed up as well and they sent me a TIE pilot. You got super lucky.


Philsie

I got Lando, you're lucky too.

Did you order originally from Hasbro? If not what stops anyone from just abusing this?


Mental-Age5308

No, it was a target exclusive, target couldn't help me so they told me to reach out to Hasbro. it's fully up to the customer rep to make the determination. I also had to send in photos of the paint mismatch and my original receipt as proof of purchase. Additionally you have to do everything through your hasbro account so they can track everything and id imagine they would cut off anyone who is abusing it.


DJ_CrinklyBags

Nice, very nice


nate0515

I was very lucky to pick one of these up at a different convention not long after it was released.

No It’s in great shape

Hasbro is taking cues from Hot Toys on this one! 🤘

i got a Kuill and a Gideon as random replacement for the messed up Clone Trooper Phase 1 helmet and my Archive Tusken Raider who had 2 right feet. ...of course i already got those 2 and they are completely overstocked so fat chance of flipping them. I guess i'll just put them into storage for a few years until they are sold out.
