They sure don't make it easy for us collectors trying to get a hold of all these bots... still, very exciting reveals.

These exclusives, aren't quite the same as a Botcon exclusive. those were rather limited and had very premium decos in most cases. These amazon/Walmart/Target Exclusives really feel like pretty much repaints in fancy boxes. the extra cost being hard to justify.
the Reflector set is most impressive, and I've already pre-ordered it.
I'm tempted by the G2 Sideswipe set, tempted. it's a bit of a pill though.

Okay, so the Hasbro panel has been done, and we didn't get any new Studio Series toys revealed, or added to the display cases. That seems odd. They still have at least a year to run on the line, just for the Constructicons to come out.
The Reflector 3-pack has now been listed on Entertainment Earth (along with Lancer and Galacticman).
Reflector is US$70 for October, while Lancer is US$20 for August and Galacticman is US$50 for August.
So many exclusives for the second half of this year... I've counted 24 so far, and that doesn't even include the import of Japanese MPs.
That's gonna get expensive.

The Dino-cassettes have caught my eye. I'm trying to work out where we will actually to buy them, however.
Toy coloured Reflector is... kinda interesting. On the one hand the concept is nice, but on the other it feels kind shoehorned on the cartoon-designed mould.
Eagerly waiting for Masterpiece Meister

Snowboards! Gimme gimme gimme. I was thinking of getting a new one too. Ok that is now my favourite reveal.

Tell me about it, with all the cost involved and difficulties I had to settle for the rainmakers set being a seeker seeker first and foremost, had to put even the refraktor set aside (kinda helped I just completed my siege one and knowing they're just redeco's with new parts made me think twice).Originally Posted by Raider
Other than amazon how are we Australians even meant to get these anyway, I mean, locally, officially, without reliance on importers?
Rank 10 - Admin
This year's SDCC for Transformers seems a bit strange to me... a HUGE focus on exclusives, with no new reveals for the main lines of Studio Series, Cyberverse, Botbots, and Rescue Bots... and only a small number of non-exclusive WFC toys.
It's almost like the large number of one-off collector toys this year is a separate "toyline" or division, as you'd need to spend more on the exclusives than you would on the regular mainline.
We now have to wait until NYCC in October for the next Hasbro event for public reveals.
