TFCon has sent out another update regarding the convention exclusive Powered Commander. At this point, its stated that the exclusive is well over 50% sold out and the remaining bunch will be sold during the convention on saturday.

If you haven't got this exclusive yet and are attending the convention, get their early so you can secure your Powered Commander set.

Wait, were they selling the item to a third party before the convention? How did so many of these things get sold before the convention?

Pre-orders were available for those signing up to attend the convention. There were only 500 pieces made of this set. To be honest I thought they'd all be gone by now.

I'm glad I got my preorders in

I dearly wish I could get my hands on this one... the fact that it's a CANADIAN convention exclusive stings even more, being from Canada... How I wish there was a way...

How much is this again? I'm not attending and I want to know how much is reasonable if I pay at a secondary market.

NVM, $150 for attendees. I saw somebody posting a preorder for it on ebay for $250 + $25 for shipping. Anybody willing to get this for me at a reasonable price + shipping? Please... please... please.....

I thought the same thing and got my 2 pre-orders in early.

I knew the popularity of this piece was high, didn't realize people would dish out that much to get it...

I feel like crossing the border and going to Botcon than TFcon, with the fact that Powered Commander is a single piece, while with Botcon i'll get a multitude of figures for just around the same price.

I just got my Shadow Commander today. I now have 2 out of 3 commander sets. I don't think I'll be getting this one though. Don't like the looks and price. Still, it's a cool exclusive.

I got mine on eBay as well, I hope to have it sometime in the next couple weeks. Im a huge fan of Um in his Diaclone colors, this was a must have, and I think in the future youll see this fetching a lot more than the 250 its going for right now. Like the OP said, i have no idea how this is not sold out
