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...

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.

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....

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.

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.

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 **** 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.
