Some photos...

The huge boxes (which are more massive than even the photos show).

.


GIJoe set, with last years.


Cliffjumper.



I had to look at the official pics to work it out, but the small dark energon shard has two hooks on the top, that hook onto the top of the chest... but in doing so, close up the chest halves.

With the others...

.


And Bruticus...

.


Combined, next to Gen1 Bruticus...


With the various WFC/FOC toys...


The toys that were in WFC...


And the toys so far released that are in FOC game...


And in a battle scene...

Sooooo jealous of you right now griffin

Quick question to any owners of the SDCC Bruticus.
Are there tech specs for the individual combaticons anywhere in the packaging. From all the pics I've seen there just seems to be a small blurb about Bruticus but no proper individual techs...is this correct?

Cheers

No... and I never thought about it either.
I guess that's what the regular retail ones will have, as a reason to buy them.
