In a world filled with digital reminders, one
G.I.Joe collector is learning that some things are better left forgotten! "
They won't let me move on from this disappointment!" said
Rick, a collector who keeps receiving emails from
Hasbro Pulse telling him to check his shopping cart, which contains the
now sold out G.I.Joe Classified Cobra Commander "Once a Man" set. ToyFarce investigated...
Like many other collectors,
Rick tried to grab the coveted
G.I.Joe Classified Cobra Commander "Once a Man" set as soon as it went live, adding it to his cart, before
NOT being able to check out because the item
sold out in seconds. "
At first, I was bummed out, of course. I really wanted this set to complete my collection. I just thought 'Oh well, maybe next time...' but then, the email reminders started" said
Rick.
"
At first, it was just a single, innocuous message: 'Hey, don't forget your Once a Man figure is still in your cart!'. A gentle reminder, almost conforting in a way... I get that it's an automated message so I thought nothing of it. But as the days passed, the reminders became more and more frequent, and more insistent..."
"
Your item is still in your cart! You wouldn't want to miss out on it, would you?", "
One click away! Just grab it, it's right there!", "
Just one more step! Hurry up, the clock is ticking! What are you waiting for?". The reminders kept coming and the frustration quickly turned into a form of psychological torture, with each email being an uninvited guest mocking his failure to secure the action figure he wanted. "
I even tried to delete it from my cart" added
Rick, in desperation, "
but every time I logged back in, it was back in my cart, teasing me." Now,
Rick's inbox has become a haunted place, filled with the echoes of the collectibles that got away...
No words yet on if this was linked to
Cobra Commander's diabolical plan to frustrate Joe collectors.

I just want peace...and maybe a new email address."
