The Transformers exclusive toys for this year's SDCC have been revealed, and are quite spectacular.... Each has newly created parts just for this limited release, or, is entirely newly created for this release. Plus, original creative packaging for each item that won't be replicated again.

Shockwave's Lab (US$50) - a whole diarama created to go with the Voyager Class Shockwave and Cmdr Class Predaking toy.

Guardians (US$40) - a pack of five figurines similar in style to Actionmasters, that are entirely newly designed for this limited release.

Metroplex (US$150) - the "biggest Transformers toy ever" is not only having chromed parts and a second gun/missile-launcher, but will come with 12 "decoy" styled figurines that are exclusively created for this release. Not to mention the biggest Transformers packaging ever released... at almost twice the size of the regular Metroplex packaging (or Fort Max packaging).

Even if you could afford all of these, plus the equally big GIJoe-TFs crossover set (which also has a heap of exclusively produced components), imagine the cost of shipping them all the way over here.


(and these are just the Transformers exclusives... imagine how may other toylines have their SDCC exclusives - you'd need to take a baggage-trolley just to buy one of each for yourself, let alone extras to scalp on ebay)
