HTS: SDCC Exclusives on sale July 26

Ah yes 4 more days until a go under a caffeine induced coma from all of the starbucks and Rockstar energy drink Im going to consume that morning. Last year wasn't too bad with the blaster set but the year before with the re-issue of soundwave was a nightmare. Judging by how these items are selling on eba this year is looking good, I havent seen them going for ridiculous prices except for the Gi joe Starscream, thats averaging around $100..

So are they just selling the Ultimate Optimus Prime , Prime Preview Matrix figure and Cobra Commander / Starscream set?

does anyone know how much the transformers prime optimus is gonna be? I get paid until next friday!

I think the eBay price for the Prime Deluxe prime is a joke.
asking 100$ for a 20$ item, that I believe will be the longest lasting HTS SDCC toy left.

otherwise HTS should have it as...

Deluxe Prime Prime $19.99
Ultimate Optimus $89.99
Star Scream $49.99

forget eBay prices, SDCC has become Scalper capital.
I really hope something is done about the ridiculousness of the gouging this stuff gets.

FYI, there is also a new HTS promo code for 10% thru 08/15/11: COMIC2011

Anyone know what is different about the SDCC ultimate Optimus Prime and the regular store version other than the packaging?

I'm confused: is Unicron an SDCC toy or an upcoming store exclusive re-(re-re-re-)release?

I've heard it comes with an extra sticker sheet, not completely sure though. I think the packaging is he main draw.

The answer was 26 July, just like in our title.

So just 4 more days to go and all of you who did not make it to SDCC can have a second go at them.

Thanks for the news credit. this is awesome because it's my very first news credit here on seibertron.com.

It's always awesome when TF fans help each other out getting the desired TF toys their seeking to buy.

Unicron will be an Amazon exclusive and should be available in October.

Anyone know WHEN they come online? Line, time wise?

Looks like I'm going to camp out in front of my computer so I can get what I want. Starscream will be my early b day gift. So is it safe for me to assume that the orders will be made available starting at midnight of the 26th?

All three looks great ,just wish i had the $$

If I remember correctly, Blaster and the other SDCC exclusives were up on HTS a little before 9am (eastern). I checked basically every hour (refreshing from iPhone). However, from what I've read on here, you never know with HTS. So, prepare accordingly!

For those who havent ordered from HTS before for SDCC exclusives I have to warn you about something. If you are a MISB collector I would be prepared to be disgusted, The last 2 years I have ordered from them for the SDCC excl I have receieved them in a humongous box, no packing material what so ever and the item itself was damaged. I sent my Soundwave back 3 times and received an equally damageded product twice. I'm ordering from a dealer off of ebay this year, sure it's a few more bucks but the difference is that extra cash is going towards packing material to ensure my items arrive MISB..Screw HTS /rant

BBTS had 3 of the transformers items listed and of course all of them are sold out. Prime "Prime" was 39.99, Ultimate Op was 169.99 and the Gijoe SS was 99.99..Im paying waaaay less than that on ebay..The rush for these on the morning of the 26th is going to be quick and fast...and im sure damaged en route as well

Are these for ALL the Hasbro exclusives or just the TF's? I'm hearing from Joe guys Monday is when they're going up.

People should be checking starting on Monday if they want to keep all the bases covered.

I still have NIGTHMARES the year SDCC Alternators nemesis prime went up for sale on the HTS web site. apparently it was a huge star wars SDCC esclusive year & the star wars fans over loaded the HTS web site at 9:00 am resulting in the HTS site over loading & being shut down all day.

Apparently the trick with the HTS site when ordering SDCC exclusives on that announced day. is to use the phone number & place a phone order in.

why do they dicide to release these the day im working early? i wont have a chance at getting that starscream now. a month or so ago they said these would be released the MONDAY after the con, the 25th which i put in for specifically to buy these items, why the sudden change?

If I were you guys who want these I would start checking first thing in the morning. I have a feeling they will put them up tomorrow. Not saying deathy is wrong, I have no doubt he accurately reporting what the customer service rep told him but I've also seen emails from HTS stating Monday. Bottom line, it won't hurt to start checking tomorrow, I know I will.

Maybe the hasbro crew at the SDCC 2011 convention need a extra day. to count up all the un-sold sdcc convention items. then add those toys to the available count towards the HTS.COM site that will be selling these sdcc toys on-line.

Well I'm looking now and it's 9:00 EST on Monday and nothing is up.

It's tomorrow or Wednesday the latest, read the article http://www.fighting118th.com/2011/07/24/sdcc-2011-hasbro-booth-final-thoughts/ here.

It's Midnight here (EST) and still nothing is up. Time for bed.

red bull...engage! gonna be a loooong night!

*Yawn* I know if I stay up all night there going to do it at 9AM ET, but if I go to sleep and set my alarm for like 8 they will do it at 4 or something. Oh what we do for our plastic fix....

Nothing yet as of 8:32.

Still waiting , Fiending for the plastic crack!

8:55 EST and nothing. They haven't even changed the page yet.

9 AM and still nothing...

I am getting tired of sitting in front of the computer. This needs to happen now!

guess its tomorrow, brought my laptop to work for nothing

Ya know I read yesterday that these might not even be up until tomorrow. They were taking Red Eyes back to RI Sunday night and might need to recover.

So the madness starts.

it's 9:00 am est over here.

I went to the HTS.COM web site. the SDCC stuff isn't up yet on the site.

The HTS site as expected is running super slow & taking time to load.

They haven't even updated the site.

9:30 EST and nothing is up. Try again tomorrow.

10:03 EST and still nothing.

I remember one year,the HTS site had the stuff up at 1:00 pm est.

Perhaps the HTS site is trying to give all COAST in america a decent time to order these SDCC exclusives.

Possibly, or they just don't have any.

GO THERE NOW.

They're up.

No Prime OP, though.

It looks like Sky Striker Starscream and Ultimate Prime are up, but no Preview Prime yet.

and boy is their page lagging xD!

Hmmm...

I kinda wanted the OP Nerf Barricade, but not sure I $25 want it...

Can't.....log.....in....ah!!!!

Try now!

They haven't listed the only figure I wanted, the TF:Prime Optimus Prime

Missed the Starscream...

sky striker starscream is now sold out.

They probably didn't have any left.

It's the only think I can think of since the other 12 went up.
