SDCC 2015 Transformers exclusives (July 9-12)

He looks fantastic, but I'm speculating that SDCC will likely cost 3x (when factoring in scalping and shipping) what we will pay for a standard one when he lands in June/July, and I just can't justify it. :(

Well if it is like the other SDCC ones, they should be available from Hasbro USA at a reasonable cost. So that is what i am going to try and do. Get it shipped to my make in the USA who can then forward it to me.

It will cost, but still cheaper than Ebaying the item

Another must buy toy.

Question is....who for? My boy who adores TF and all things G1 or Dad who adores TG and all things G1 :)

Seriously this looks amazing and such a faithful representation.

I like the deeper green and metallic purple over the standard edition.

so how long until preorders are available for this bad boy?

cheers

I'm not so sure the green is deeper, as Hasbro's press shots for retail releases tend to be on the slightly over-exposed side, but damn, am liking those metallic bits...

Not sure I can justify the probable cost premium though

Now we have two revealed for this year, and a third still only hinted at.

Devastator - price unknown? (probably about US$180-200 - the regular one is US$150)
CW Hunters 3-pack - US$75
Kreo (unknown) - price unknown

That should hopefully be all of the Transformers exclusives for this year, and SDCC is only about 5 weeks away (July 9-12), so start saving up those pennies if you are keen on any of them.

The Sdcc Devastator is a real must buy for me as it looks amazing...but being here in perth will definitely have to be quick to secure that. (Just dont tell my wife..hahaa)

So are both sets going to be sold in Comic con here?

Coming to where? I may have been reading old articles but I was under the impression oz comicon had nothing to do with SDCC? If that's changed and there's a chance we can pick this up at Brisbane OzCC then I might buy some tickets...
