Hasbro seriously delayed everything because of a leak? ...how does that even make sense? ...warehouse space costs money, no? If anything the leak made people more excited for it. That was free marketing. ...the hell? Anyway i got my Captain Rex + Fox on Pre-Order ...in the one shop in germany that has both of them listed.
I don’t think it was the leak per se, I think it was just that they saw how far out production was and decided to delay the announcement… the leak just might have pressed there decision
@@Nerdzoicthe leak would have reduced some demand I think. If you don’t know something is coming, you will be more impulsive when it is announced. Either way shows how much affects figure marketing
I appreciated your video on the re-runs. You let me know I’d get another shot at the White Ranger helmet. Didn’t want to spend the 200+ it was going for at the time.
I never understood the personal attacks you had to go through.. I'm sorry that happened to you. I never understood. Why Hasbro was so upset? Leaks happen all the time. Aaaaalllll the time. Great job powering through and keeping your chin up. Also, taking the high road more than most would.
Always knew you were being legit, as a matter of fact, I thought this was something similar as the previous Captain Rex rerelease that was canceled out of nowhere.
Hasbro seriously halted this and put on a pouty face, just because you accidentally leaked their plan? I won't lie, that's seems childish to me and reeks of marketing people that want to appear more improtant than they truly are.
I keep meaning to write a comment praising you for this. I mean sure it was a misstep talking about it too early, but you did it with the best intentions. Fully forgivable 😅🙌
Big Nerdy, I have never seen a company be as petty as this. Like, I don't know half of what goes on in this industry, but did they think they were going to make less money by delaying the rerelease? Don't they have better things to do than worry about a seller letting slip information about figures that have already been made and sold? I'm already salty about their distinct neglect of the Power Rangers franchise, so I'm mostly done with them anyway. The pettiness is honestly a nail in the coffin.
I ended up seeing a lot of people out there on social media thanking you and saying Nerdzoic was right. OOTB also admitted that you definitely were onto something. I think it’s just that Hasbro has jerked people around and people are afraid to get let down
Is Hasbro in trouble? Reissues from Starwars... Marvel... and now Transformers and odd picks... Thrust never released in the UK and they have reissued dirge( had written Thrust lol its hot here :P) twice and 1 more to come...
Matt really like your content but slow it down on the constant zoom in and out. I know the youtubers say the algorithm likes it if you do it. But it make videos unwatchable.
This was the last nail in the coffin for black series for me.... All these figures I drove miles for, made rough trades for, etc. are now all worthless.... And if they did them in the new packaging it could have been an easier pill to swallow because there would be people out there that still want the og red/black box. This is such bullshit! Sooo done. Now I just focus on McFarlane multiverse when I need that plastic crack and setting up and displaying what I already have. The combination of Disney and Hasbro has finally made this addict go sober. Thanks to them for making my struggle much easier to handle.
@@StraightOtohGunga 100 percent. Ask that same question to a guy who paid 80 + bucks for rex. I'm sure he feels great about the re release. I'm guessing either you don't collect or you haven't been doing it long. Part of collecting is going out and finding those "rare" figures. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose. But that's the name of the game. But having that special gem you got lucky enough to find and you know everyone wants sitting on your shelf makes it that much cooler, a light to your collection. Re releases are garbage. It totally screws the market and makes it unpredictable for collectors. It also takes the fun out of the hunt for the rare items. Even worse when they wait this long to do it it really screws over collectors that resorted to scalpers or rough trades only to find out months later they could have gotten it at cost. It's like buying a limited edition Lamborghini that you pay extra for only to find out the dealership lied to you and there is nothing limited about it and a year later the same car is available to everyone at a cheaper price. How would you feel?
I mainly collect black series, but I always wanted that kingpin figure. Had no idea they were doing a re release of him. Just secured a pre order on gamestop thanks big nerdy!
My man nerdzoic! For some reason I held out hope that it really was happening, and it did great news! If only they’d just rerelease them in Australia now 🫤
Matt, you're a South Central PA guy. I trust you more than anyone else on the whole, dumb-ass internet. I never, ever doubted you. I'm going to send a lot of business your way when these hit.
@@StraightOtohGunga Nah this is what it says about outside USA- Flat Rate shipping is only available to street addresses within the contiguous United States. If you use a Freight Forwarder that has a street address located within the United States your shipment will qualify for Flat Rate Shipping. Though pile of loot option would have made sense
I was DISGUSTED by the reaction from a lot of the toy community to your initial report. Your name was smeared for literally no reason at all. People don’t know how to take a wait and see approach these days, or have any common decency at all.
Dude! I am so glad that people can now see how stupid Hasbro is and that you were a truthful guy this whole time. I knew this would happen. Garbage, they had to tarnish your reputation before just releasing the figures that would help generate revenue that they need right now. It was not like the releases were new figure leaks.
It’s unfortunate that some of the community hasn’t shown you the appreciation you deserve. It didn’t help that help that certain narcissistic Black Series channels openly doubted you on their livestreams. I mean, ultimately, all you were trying to do was share some great news with the community and spread some excitement and joy. Anybody who would fault you for that should first take a long, hard look in the mirror. You’re a great person and a pillar in the toy collecting community. You’ve been through so much over the last couple years but still stay positive; that’s commendable. Keep doing what you love doing because the majority of us really appreciate you. Have an awesome day, brother.
@@UncleAir The issue with all these re-runs is Hasbro is making this line have no value. I'm not saying that re-sellers should be able to run around selling figures for exorbitated prices but doing stuff like this crashes the secondary market and kills engagement.
What is on your Black Series Re-Run wishlist that has yet to become "official"?
Mafex, ShF, Revoltech, Storm Marvel, DC, Anime or Fighting game characters
Really hoping that that speeder bike 2 pack happens. Only downside is I’ll have to import it as the reruns aren’t coming out in the uk 😢
Only one I wanted was rex. Glad I had got my preorder in
I know it'll never happen but, 6" Leia in her slave outfit. I need it in order to finish my Leia OT collection. I don't want to pay $100s for it.
@@leslietarkin5705 that one needs a complete redo.
From here on out, we'll just ask you to blink twice if a rerelease is forthcoming.

Thanks for your efforts on this video Matt. I never doubted you, however doubting Hasbro has been perfected to an art form.

"Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen" -Nerdzoic, allegedly.
Magneto saying: they never learn. So funny. Omg 😅
I can't believe I missed out on Crosshair...again!!!
I appreciated your video on the re-runs. You let me know I’d get another shot at the White Ranger helmet. Didn’t want to spend the 200+ it was going for at the time.
Lot of people owe you an apology. I never doubted tho. Nice job taking the high road, Nerdy.
Take your victory lap, well deserved, a lot of “influencers” threw you under the bus

Big Nerdie you have never been anythingnbut Real and dont worry about any RANDO saying anything. Ypu do you and its good bro! 🤜🤛
Always knew you were being legit, as a matter of fact, I thought this was something similar as the previous Captain Rex rerelease that was canceled out of nowhere.
🗡🗡🗡🗡 jailhouse rules, no telling, not even with toy releases 😂😅
I'm thrilled that the store is going so well, but I miss your videos. Regardless of the video output I'm still a loyal costumer. You're the man, Matt
Hasbro seriously halted this and put on a pouty face, just because you accidentally leaked their plan? I won't lie, that's seems childish to me and reeks of marketing people that want to appear more improtant than they truly are.
Are you surprised with how Hasbro has been operating the past years that people in the company aren't the reason for it? lol
I keep meaning to write a comment praising you for this. I mean sure it was a misstep talking about it too early, but you did it with the best intentions. Fully forgivable 😅🙌
So my take away is that Big Nerdy is powerful enough to mess with Hasbro
I had faith in you the entire time! 🤜🤛😁
I need Clone Wars Asajj Ventress
Wow. Hasbro “re-releasing” Star Wars figures again. Who could have seen that happening?
Unlimited Power!! 😂
I'm banking on 97 Wolverine and Rogue. Decided late to collect that line. I'll wait...
Deedra Meero
I just want to personally say thank you Nerdy. I received my 1st purchase from you yesterday(mcfarlane plastic man b.a.f wave). Your awesome.
All I care about is Episode 3 Anakin. As someone who decided to get the essentials in like 2023, he's a big hole in the collection.
Hasbro probably delayed it and rethink their future waves. First the re releases and then Acolyte figures. Nothing interesting.

Just Pre-ordered my Palpatine with throne through Amazon, totally forgot about it until I saw this video, thanks for the follow up!

That's great news for BS fans, but I wish they did this for the store exclusives like GI joe wreckage that sold out in seconds.

Always had faith you were right. There was no reason for you to lie about it. Plus when the helmets did come out, it pretty much guaranteed it.
Don’t say anything about X Men 97 . Otherwise they will get mad again .
I ordered retro card she hulk, skarr and hellverine from your website. Thank you 😊😅
Matt dont trip you are an outstanding human being and all ur real ones got love for you, cant wait for some figs i got on preorder with u next month
I want Sebulba in Black Series and Vintage Collection!
Tell your sister you were right. Tell your sister you were right.....
Black series is 🗑...2much re-released that line is a waste of $$$
Don’t wanna lose the EE account by leaking stuff..
Hey big Nerdy how you feel about that awesome haslab Cantina set
I’d want Anakin and bossk plus that mandalorian since I don’t have them.
Man I’m just looking forward to Anakin
Re-release the damn Captain Rex for the love of god.
Hey Matt , do you think these will ever be released outside of the states ?
Black Series sucks and I sold all my collection.
any spider-man leaks you know about? :)
Do you collect wrestling figures?
The fact that asia market don get to preorder it!
Well Santa Matt can you get R2D2 ROJ and Darth Vader
are the reruns coming to the uk ?
I hope the speeder bike will be re-released.
Is it possible to learn this power?
I hope they reissue the recent Black Series ROJ Darth Vader. That dissappeared very quickly.
They’ll repackage it into the mainline at some point, Same with Luke
Trusted since day 1😤
Can we get a re run of X-men '97?
Thumbnail is funny lol
DARTH NERDUS!

So other people being able to get them at a reasonable price and without jumping through all of those hoops makes you not like the figures anymore?

I pre-ordered Hunter from the bad batch. I had paid $ 75.00 to get one from eBay, so I didn't want to miss out on a second chance.
OH I was waiting for this victory lap even though rest of us from outside USA got screwed. Enjoy your victory lap well deserved.
Big Bad Toystore had $8 international shipping for all the re-releases…

Am so tired of re-runs..
Move to Australia. You dont get any.
Why? It saves you money and gives others a break from scalpers. You are literally losing nothing and choosing to be upset over toys.
Me too. It’s basically SW the ARCHIVE Series now. Lame
Why? Are you a scalper/re-seller? They seem to be mostly the only ones who have an issue with it.
