SDCC 2015 Transformers exclusives (July 9-12)

[Other]

Not interested in Devy or the Titan Hunters but I gotta get my hands on the Kre-O set.

The third Transformers SDCC set is another Kreo "Class of" set, for US$60.

It contains another 30 Kreons of most of the rest of the 1985 toys that weren't in the 1984 set... plus Alpha Trion from the cartoon.

These are non-convertible Kreons, which can make some of them look better than any that were done as Micro-changers.

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...

I don't think the conventions are related, but Hasbro is the company selling the toys at each convention, and that means that they can sell them anywhere they want. If they were producing them for someone else to sell as an exclusive (like FunPub), then Hasbro wouldn't be allowed to sell them anywhere else to anyone else.
An exclusive by Hasbro is usually just relating to it's status within a particular country, so it doesn't prevent the toys showing up in other countries, as an exclusive or even as a regular release. It's very rare, but it does sometimes happen.
Like in 2013, Beast Hunters Ultimate Predaking was a Target exclusive in America, but was a regular release here.

Big official images of the SDCC Constructicons have been released as well.

That Kreo set is awesome.
I should see how much last years set (84) is going for .. I recall checking it out at convention time last year and it was going for more than double the retail price

This was the image I was looking for, from the back of the original Generations book. When you open the SDCC box, Devastator is in a maintenance hanger that looks like just like that.

TFwiki have used the new official images to post up an image to show what I mentioned here and on TFW about 3 weeks ago.
The side-by-side image they posted up is a good comparison to look at.

Online Store Entertainment Earth is giving away mini-Dioramas at SDCC with purchases, and one is Transformers themed (inside the Ark in the Gen1 cartoon).

Sometimes sdcc just ends up here. I grabbed and sdcc shiny tmnt Shredder from Myer about two years after it was released at sdcc

Another SDCC Transformers exclusive this year, this time from Loyal Subjects.
It's a checklist poster of the first three years of Loyal Subjects Transformers figures.
(scroll down to the second version if the first posting isn't fixed up yet, as the first one was noted as missing some, and the second version came out soon after)

That's a lot of Loyal Subjects to collect if you were a completist (more than even I thought there were)... and I don't think it includes the larger sized ones.

Griffin sorry if this has been asked. Is the SDCC Devy coming to Oz Comic Con? Thanks.
