I need to know if Hasbro's planning something with Trypricon for SDCC this year before jumping on, since by all reports Hasbro's regular release is going to be the exact same as Takara's.

Every Titan class has gotten an SDCC variant. It's a safe bet, but will probably cost you extra if you don't order it daddy* fast enough.

I don't think BBTS will be selling the leaders separately, I guess they don't want to get stuck with tons of Optimus Prime.

Don't want to get stuck? TjMaxx had first edition leader prime until early 2016. I don't think they want to get stuck, they just want to avoid being sunk to the bottom of the sea with it.

So luckily enough BBTS has more pre-orders up as of this morning for the Siege on Cybertron set. Snagged one.

The new Rescue Bots Optimus looks like a bootleg knock-off of the older Rescue Bots Optimus.

All of the Rescue Bots Optimus toys that turn into the traditional semi truck altmode look like different takes on the same premise.

In addition to the two seen above, there's also these:

Attention mortals! Titans Return Blitzwing/Hazard and Legends Cosmos are now up for sale at HasbroToyShop.com!

I succeeded in ordering Blitzwing, but I already had Cosmos so I didn't try him. You mortals who don't have him may want to try though, before they're all gone - again.....!

Fellow Seibertronian Death Reviews has found some new toys on Hasbro Toy Shop and wanted to share the news with fellow fans. These have already been found in stores but since Blitzwing is a hot item, we felt some fans might appreciate this other option in getting him.

Correct - so if Blitzwing is NOT in your local store (as is the case for many, many people), now is your chance! I mean hey - I'm not seeing many alerts on the store sightings panel......

I actually have all of those Rescue Bots Optimi. My comment was more to the effect that this new one looks like a large step down in quality compared to the previous ones. He seems like only a slight step-up from the Titan Hero line.

Guess who's coming to dinner? Trypticon is now listed as "coming soon" at HasbroToyShop.com!

http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/en/htsusa/ ... 0?catName=

He's guaranteed to get that "free shipping" over 49$ threshold! And if you have any discount promo codes? So much the better!

News Credits: 23 · Wed Aug 02, 2017 9:07 am

Still not worth the price with discounts u less its $60

News Credits: 332 · Wed Aug 02, 2017 1:51 pm

FYI Blitzwing from HTS came out to $35. For under $30 with Prime shipping there are 3rd party sellers selling it on Amazon

While Seibertronian Deathreviews had told us that an unstocked listing for Titans Return Titan Class Trypticon was up earlier on Hasbro Toy Shop, fellow Seibertronian NYCPrime has now reached out to us to let us know that this hot toy is now stocked. He also shared a way to get this toy as cheap as possible, read on!

Trypticon is available from HTS: http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/en/htsusa/-c1735as00

You can apply the 20% code for signing up for emails. Free shipping. That's $120 pre-tax. Similar to the BOGO price from TRU without the need to find a friend to buy two.

And of course HTS won't let me log in or create a new account.

I looked on HTS's eBay page for you and they don't have it there yet. (I was hoping to help the person above me.) I'm also annoyed that neither HTS or their Ebay page have wave 4 of Titans Return yet they have Trypticon.

It's probably coming and I should stop being so cranky but it's hot out and everything is annoying me at the moment. I'm too young to be such an old man about things :lol:

Attention, mortals! If you've been waiting for the movie Last Knight leader Megatron, but haven't found him in stores yet? Good news, for my minions have shown that leader Megs is up at HasbroToyShop.com and IS available for purchase!

He comes with two free giant "Cheetos", apparently. And he clears their threshold for free delivery automatically!

http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/en/htsusa/-c1341as00

Edit: In the brief span between confirming that he could be ordered, and posting the news? He's gone out of stock already! Hopefully they weren't just yanking my chain when my minions successfully ordered him, or I'll reap them good!

Thanks to a tip from fellow Seibertronian Shayaun, we have confirmation that the San Diego Comic Con exclusive Hasbro Transformers sets are currently available on HasbroToyShop.com! We were initially told these would be available mid-month, but it seems they were released slightly earlier - so if you're in for a Shreddicus Maximus, a Voyager The Last Knight Optimus Prime, or an IDW Revolution boxset, featuring Micronauts, Visionaries, Jetfire, MASK, and GI Joe, head here to purchase yours!

UPDATE: Since writing this story, the links have been updated to confirm the actual availability to be the aforementioned 14th August.

For me it says that "Item will be available to order on 8/14/2017." for that Optimus but it says that for the other Transformers stuff as well.
