Reception

Before the controversy began, their response was that it was an experiment and that they would let the sales speak for themselves.[7][8] They supplied a limited amount of this product to ChannelFireball Events for sale at Grand Prix.[9] but as soon as the issues with the Hasbro site were apparent, all available product for US GP events sold out immediately.
