Amazon exclusive Gen1 coloured Slog (as Sludge)

I don't think it's Hasbro "scalping", more a case of Hasbro offering Amazon a US exclusive, not an international exclusive.

Good point. It could turn up at Toyworlds here. That's be cool.

I think I should wait for a Platinum release, but the impression I'm getting from Hasbro is that this is the only G1 set we'll see.

I wouldn't threat just yet over Hasbro possibly going the Playmates route and killing international sales from the US. I bought many of my Star Wars figures from Amazon as they had older TVC figures in stock I couldn't find anywhere else when I was collecting them.

Hasbro set some Star Wars TVC figures to be restricted but about 2/3 shipped from Amazon with no restrictions. Also they never imposed those restrictions on any other US stores. The Black Series figures they have now don't seem to be restricted.

Until we see an entire line restricted I wouldn't worry.

If Slog/Sludge had been included in the original SDCC pack I would've considered paying the $300 post-con cost for the set, but with it costing extra, and a possibility of him being very hard to obtain I've decided to skip the entire set.

I'm certain we'll see a G1 set available for general release soon. It wouldn't make good business sense to limit G1 versions of these guys to just convention exclusives

Woohoo! Patience is a virtu.....

Slog ships to Australia now!

[griffin]

Yay!
(and pre-ordered before they change their minds again)

Hooray. That made my day. (Plus Treadshot is out, which also brought light to a Monday afternoon.)
