Even More Images of SDCC 2017 Transformers Exclusives: Primitive Skateboarding and TLK #SDCC2017

Deadput wrote:I need him.

I know Hasbro toy shop carries exclusives after the event but would any other place sale him like BBTS? (Kinda expensive for Canadians I know but I'll put him in the "pile of loot" to save on shipping until I'm ready for him)

No, only HTS, but they ship to Canada too so you are ok

Feast your optics on these new videos from Hasbro's Facebook page. They show us a full 360 of Transformers Primitive Optimus Prime and Special Edition Voyager Class Optimus Prime. Have a look and tell us what you think on the boards!

There will be more news coming to us live from San Diego Comic Con so stay tuned!

...is it physically impossible for Hasbro to properly transform the pecs on TLK voyager Prime? I don't think they've gotten it right once!

Also from the Hasbro booth at San Diego Comic Con 2017, site owner Seibertron is providing us images of SDCC exclusives that we have seen several times before now - including the Primitive Skateboarding Shreddicus Maximus Optimus Prime set, and the Transformers: The Last Knight Voyager Optimus Prime figure with Western Star tire piece.

These are only the initial images, of course, expect the full Seibertron.com treatment as the event continues across the weekend, with the Hasbro Breakfast Press event Thursday morning, panel coverage on Friday and Saturday, and follow-ups with official images and more!

We have posted a gallery of SDCC exclusives so you can have a look! Most importantly, there are now pictures of the SDCC exclusive Hasbroverse Revolution box set which includes Jetfire, Micronauts, Visionaries, MASK, Rom, Action Man and GI Joe.

We have included a few pictures below but there are always more in the Seiberton gallery, incuding for Voyager Optimus Prime and Primitive Skate Prime!

Has there been any indication at all as to when to expect the exclusives on HTS? Last year they gave us an actual date of August 9, but I can't see where they've done the same this year. I really want the two Primes and have been anxiously checking HTS several times a day waiting.

August 14th. Says it on the product page http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/en/htsusa/-c1730as00

Oh, didn't realize they had been listed already. They would release these after my vacation on a work day. Could be tricky, I have a feeling the Primes will sell out fast, especially the skate Prime.

Soooooo, exclusives his HTS tomorrow, right?

Except Star Wars, those will be up on Force Friday. Keep in mind a lot of these SDCC sets are supposed to be available at HasCon, so if you don't get something tomorrow you might get a second chance

Still haven't seen the SDCC Exclusives up yet on Hasbro's website, unless they sold out just that quickly.

They've only come in stock on HTS before 11:30 eastern twice: 2010 (~9:30 AM) and 2014 (~10 AM)

11 AM - 2 PM is the historical sweet spot. Only 2013 was a strange case where they didn't hit until much later in the day (~3:30 PM)

For those who could not go to SDCC and pick up the exclusives there, they should be up on Hasbro Toy Shop later today, August 14th.

You can see detailed images of the Transformers centric exclusives here and you can click on the image below to be brought right to the page to order (once they are up).




Good luck to you all!

Still waiting here. At least I got the grill going

Ditto on the still waiting. Is HTS usually so late in actually making things available on the day they say they will be?

Meh....wake me up when Arcee is available on HTS after Hascon fails...

Oh man chuck, I remember that stormtrooper story from a while back.

Refresh my memory, just a reminder, the SW figures won't be going up until force Friday in September

I wouldn't call it "late" for them yet. Next half hour to 45 minutes is a good time to watch (just going off previous years, I have no secret info)

Just checked, nothing yet.

As much as a pain as Matty Collector was, I appreciated them telling us what time the items would go up for sale.

its lived. Order placed

The gi joe set is listed as in stock but there's no way to add it to my cart, WTF?

Yep, just got my skater prime.

Scored myself a primitive OP!

YES! Just got my confirmation email! Primitive Optimus Prime is MINE!

Add to cart in the main search page.

Click on the product links in the news story which should take you to the page that has all the exclusives and you should be able to add it to your cart. Had the same problem myself

This is crap, I had to back track to the exclusives page to get a link to add the Joe set to my cart, before I could pay it was listed as out of stock

Wtf! I got all the way through the payment process, sent the money through PayPal and then I get a message saying primitive prime was out of stock. There should be safeguards in place to prevent shit like this from happening.

What kills me is if you just go to the main page you can still add them to your cart

Hasbro only just now sent out an email officially announcing the availability of the SDCC exclusives on HTS, 35 minutes after they went up and about ten minutes after some of them have already sold out.

Keep in mind some of these are HasCon exclusives, so there's still some hope.

You should get a message that says there is not enough stock when you try to add them to your cart

Damnit, I obsessively refreshed the skater Prime page all day, I get busy with some customers and of course it goes live, then out of stock while I'm busy.

Seriously. Was there some reason they waited until the middle of the day to make these available?

They must not have had a whole lot of Skater Primes, cause it sounds like he wasn't available for even 5 minutes.

I have been checking all day & now everything has finally gone live & Primitive is sold out? What BS!

Everything went up at 2pm ET. I got my Primitive Prime ordered within the first ten minutes. After about the first 15 minutes, it sold out.

Going off the chatter on TFW, I think about 5 to 10 minutes. A lot of people had the item page on refresh and the "add" button wasn't available right away. That may have added to the delay. Interesting that TLK OP is still available. I hope that becomes available at a discount later on.

*sigh* Another year, another miss on HTS exclusives. I work nights and sleep during the day so I guess it's partially my fault. I stayed up until 8am refreshing the page and just got up and 3pm. I knew I should have gotten up at 2pm, if I had I probably would have gotten a Primitive Prime.

Selling out in 20 minutes is pretty common for SDCC exclusives. I still don't understand why they don't make the HTS exclusive pre-order "made to order" like Japanese stores do it (including Takara Tomy Mall's Legends Black Convoy and the Legends reissues). It isn't like these are solely SDCC exclusives, they're SDCC and HTS joint exclusives. This isn't just leftovers from SDCC, some of these sold out there, these are an allotment set aside for sale specifically for HTS (mixed with leftovers). Instead of setting any aside only sell the leftovers on HTS for people that want a chance at getting them now and open pre-orders for people that can wait. Why intentionally make us anxious like this refreshing the page all day?

Oh well, I've been complaining about this since the first day they started offering these and the only thing that's changed is the site doesn't crash anymore. I think in all these years I've only been successful two years in getting what I want. It's still the same complaints of things selling out in minutes and things being sold out of people's cart after completing checkout. Hasbro doesn't care about individual experiences when everything sells in the end.

Movie Prime is still available, but after not getting Primitive Prime and finding out the free shipping on $49 and over doesn't apply to exclusives (seriously, why do you have to be that way, Hasbro?) I wasn't willing to pay $60 for it.

So people now have to spend money on travel and a hotel to attend a show and then upurchase a 50$ toy? Buy it for double on e-bay would be much much cheaper.

No silly, they might be up on HTS after HasCon

Ah, i see, makes more sense.

And as for the stormtrooper, it was 2 years ago and was for the upcoming Episode 7 film. Everyone wanted one and there were storries on bleeding cool of people tripping eachother over it and it being chaos at SDCC. You were waiting for HTS but the second it was live that toy was sold out.

I got one of the regular releases

I'm worried that despite getting an email that my order is being processed and my PayPal account saying the payment is being processed, that I won't get one. The reason being is that "This is a temporary authorization to make sure your payment method will cover the payment. Your payment method will be charged when HasbroToyShop.com completes your order." My bank account hasn't been charged which makes me think HTS us getting ready to cancel my order.

Luckily, I had no interests in any of these sets. Because holy crap, s#it went down for so many pages in such a short time!

Gotta admit that I Tl;Dr most of them. But the gist I got is a torrent of disappointment. As usual. Gotta love those ultra limited sets, eh?
My sincere condolences to the ones who missed out and congratulation to the few lucky.

It wasn't that bad for the TF only figures (excluding the Jetfire set). While Primitive OP sold out, I think it lasted at least 10 minutes, maybe a little longer. I think most folks who sat in front of their computers refreshing the site were able to comfortably score one. And the voyager TLK OP is still available. But yea, some of the other stuff was gone quick.

Every year HTS just misses the mark handling the SDCC exclusives. FYI, Daredevil and Voyager Prime are still in stock.
