SDCC Transformers exclusives official images

It's sad to say it... but US$185 is still cheaper than what four Deluxe BotCon at-show toys would cost you from FunPub, and you don't get all those extras.
(the Clone 2-pack was US$95, making it US$190 for four Deluxes)

Ouch. I saw a guy on ebay that only has a $95USD mark up on these and $30 shipping to Australia with a perfect ebay record. I might get them from him just to be sure I got them. Better than the $400ish prices some are charging on ebay for this set.

A couple of other pre-SDCC press releases...

From ToysRUs, who have held back the release of Masterpiece Prowl and Sunstorm to release them exclusively first at SDCC (which they did last year for Soundwave and Acid Storm).

And the Angry Birds people will be showing off their upcoming projects (including Transformers) in an exhibit outside the Convention Centre, so that the general public can see it.

There's a spelling mistake in the title. "Transformere."

Talk about picky.

Talk about picky.

Just a heads up.

Title has been fixed...


For anyone buying the Dinobot set, Hasbro have put up a video on their facebook page to show the contents, and how easily it opens up as a diorama.

They also talk about the four toys, suggesting that the Movie trio were designed to be later used as Gen1 figures, by incorporating elements that homage the original 1985 toys. (things like, having certain body parts on the same mould tree, so that they could have transparent parts in odd places like the Gen1 toys had)

(For anyone who takes note of the different Hasbro people, Clint Chapman was the liaison at BotCon for 2012 and 2013, after Greg Lombardo left, but he too was supposed to have left this year... so maybe this was one of his last projects)

For those with a shipping forwarder or a friend in America, the Hasbro Shop has the two large SDCC sets on their site, which they didn't sell out (if you see someone on ebay claiming that they did).
No Kreo set yet, so that one looks to have indeed sold out (as some on ebay were claiming).
