Alternator Rodimus Confirmed SDCC Exclusive.

Dammit, why do they do this to us?? So many people want this figure badly, and only a select few will be able to purchase it.

It seems Nemesis Prime is still widely available on eBay though, so maybe I've still got a chance...

If anyone's able to help out some fellow fans, I'm most definitely in.

NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Hasbro has forsaken us...

That about sums it up.

Amen to that. Let's all hope they do the same thing they did with nemesis prime and release him in mass distribution overseas so some can leak over here.

Is it me or do toy companies now just do whatever whenever and don't care about the people who have been giving them money for year?

on a side note wouldn't it be nice if they sold rodimus themselves on ebay rather than the scalpers who always manage to get hold of sizable quantities?

He was going to be a Ford GT right?

Meh, i dont like that car, and Classics Rodimus and Tit Rodimus are far better looking in IMO.

Dont blow as gaskett over it.

It would be nice if they'd make him available in the online shop in a larger run, maybe comparable to reissue Astrotrain.

I suppose we can only wait and see.

If this turns out like last year, I'll just be patient and get one off of eBay. I got my Nemesis Prime for $45 shipped. For an extra $20, I'll save myself the ulcer.

i sooooooo totaly called this one. lol look at the other threads about it. still as cool as it is as an exclusive, ide still rather see a general release, just like they should have done with classics thundercracker.

Not that I want this... but I am entirely tired of these Exclusives...

I had hoped this was going to be availablet o most people.

I third that.

Thanks for screwing the fans again Hasbro. Just like with the other classic seekers you screwed the fans yet again.

This happens to be in my backyard, and I'm a full-time attendee every year. This SO makes up for that pathetic "Menasor" they're also trying to pawn off on us.

I do really sympathize with the folks who were looking forward to this, though. It's unfortunate that Hasbro seems to love putting figures that are highly-sought-after by the fans out of said fans' reach.

My opinion... at least they MADE it. If Hasbro didn't make any more 'exclusives', then they wouldn't be able to make all of the cool repaints and resculpts and such that people want. They couldn't justify releasing a new Alternator at this time, and probably couldn't do it in the foreseeable future. It just wouldn't sell enough, this close to the movie. BUT, as an exclusive, they can get closer to their target market (the hardcore collectors that've been fans for years), and still offer the product at a decent price.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! God damn it! Hasbro better put it on hasbrotoyshop.com.this frakin blows. theres enough crap at the damn convention. Give us people who cant go something good. Im starting to hate hasbro again. CAN YOU HEAR ME HASBRO! YOU CAN KISS MY SHINY METAL ASS!!!!!

if i were to send you some cash would you pick one up and ship it to me?

Crap in a hat!!!

What's the deal with the Rodimus theme this year? First, a repaint of 6 inch Titanium Rodimus as Menasaur (or however you spell it), and now this! Well, here goes another bunch of $$$, just like I had to spend for Alt. Nemesis Prime last year. I'm out to own every Alternator release, so this is a must have for me. I don't see why Hasbro only makes this available to SDCC. Why not a bunch of cons in a bunch of states, like WizKids does with their game exclusives (i.e. Heroclix)?

I will also be going to the con so I would be willing to help out with people that are interested, also I work for ups so I can get it shipped to you with a quickness as well. I want one too so hopefully not to expensive.

Anyone interested pm and we'll work something out when we know how much it will be and I can get shipping info for you.

Hopefully there isnt a 1 per person limit or something.

I called it!

Exulted Unicron wrote:that meansd a limited run and sky high prices

Nah.
Including postage, I got Nem Prime (their 'exclusive' last year) for £25-27ish. Thats hardly much more than the regular price of alts in this country.

GetterDragun wrote:I called it!

Co-sign!

Well, I'm very unhappy about this. I hope It will be easier to grab one this time around.

Dam you San Diego!

I hope that he gets a general release in Australia, like last years SDCC figure Nemisis Prime did.
He is a whole lot nicer looking than NP too.

And the SDCC Titanium Menasor is a repaint of Titanium Rodimus too.. interesting, its almost a theme...

Yeah ive seen plenty on ebay for around the same price range. Shame i have no real interest in a Nemesis prime toy though. I woudlnt mind getting a reguler alt prime on the cheap for a re-spray idea i have.

if only i could go. and this also kind of destroys our hopes of the alternators after the movie.

It's time to convince Japan to become apart of the United States, so we don't have to keep buying overpriced TFs that become convention exclusives in the US...

Yes i am sure, amongst all the other politics, that is the number one reason why Japan would give up their independance and become a part of the united states....

Well said... This, like the classics seekers, had to be an exclusive in order to exist at all. I get why people are annoyed... but Hasbro isn't trying to screw anyone over here. They're doing their best to get stuff out through any avenue they can. The haters are really starting to get on my nerves.

is anyone betting this'll be about $20?

ding dang doo!!

why is it that those with the money are okay with paying more for things?

if they made them available, at least on the web, then they woould sell; but saying that making them Alts and seekers and such exclusives is good enough... well that's just either foolishness or a heavy wallet talking.

Ninja Sixshot wrote:is anyone betting this'll be about $20?

Yea, at the 'con.

Damn! THis is now ANOTHER thing that has become an exclusive. I wonder if Hasbro's going "Let's make all the stuff the fans want as exclusives only!" First the Seekers, now this. GRrrr...

CRAPOLA! I wanted it too.

very good point and I agree with you. I can afford to pay for these figures...BUT I REFUSE TO PAY crazy amounts for these figures.
and like some poster said before(forgive me for not quoting you)....why not work out a deal with all the stateside 'cons like wizkids do? I mean there are like a solid 10 major 'cons they can push these exclusives at and not just SDCC and their own botcon(though i do agree botcon should have a major exclusive only to botcon)
Let's count where they could sell them and please add to them if you notice anything I am missing

Wizard World(philadelphia, los angeles, texas, and chicago)
SDCC
Botcon

that is 6 right there and I know there are at least 4 more than they can coordinate something with. Please Hasbro just think of the MASSES who buy transformers and not just the 5 to 10 percent that can actually attend your major conventions.

I've been wondering how I would feel when there was an exclusive out there that I couldn't readily get. And actually I'm not that upset. I guess I just see it as the way things go sometimes. And I don't think that having deep pockets really changes a lot. I have adequate funds, but I'm not going to go crazy about it.

But I do feel for those that really wanted this mold.

oh what the f***.... not this shit again... for the love of god... who gives a rats ass about the san diego comic-cons. bring back the damn alternators and classics to general retail, and quit giving sdcc exclusives like this.

and besides didn't they already have transformers exclusives? do those bastards in cali really need to f**k us over for 2 years straight with another desirable alt?

I HATE YOU HASBRO!!! GETTING MY NEMESIS PRIME WAS HARDER THAN HELL!!!!

Damn it.

I got 1 word for that.


Stupid.

Yes!!

So, at the con it will be around the normal price of an alt?

It should be $25.00 like Nemesis Prime last year.

OH, GO F@CKIN' FIGURE!
