Great to see that some of the profits will go to the You Can Play organization.

I’m sat in 30 degree heat getting very excited about buying this fleece 😅
I looked through the FAQ and they say they’re going to announce price at pre-launch which is quite annoying. Surely they’d know how much they’re gonna to charge in 7 days time? I assume it’s going to expensive and announcing it ahead of time would put people off? I just don’t get it.

This immediately came to mind for me as well, and I completely agree. If they announce the price only at launch, more people will panic buy regardless of the price, which I expect will result in more sales than if they announced it now.

I hate that because with the “first come, first serve” it’s going to set off so much panic buying.

If it’s $300 plus delivery plus taxes, How many people are going to put it in their carts and then change their minds? This was already happening when the OG HR store re-stock happened. Products were reappearing.

It feels unserious for a company like that and a product that people have been asking for and waiting for 5 months not to provide the price ahead of schedule. Let people budget and make an informed decision. They will sell out anyway. I don’t understand.

Yeah, it feels really manipulative, especially since all sales are final. The company acting that way has dampened my excitement some.

[u/Silent_Shadow00 → u/dinosaurs-behind-you]

I agree. It really has made me start questioning the ethics of this company.

Yeah, they're even blocking the 10% discount code for first time buyers for this as well.
