Courtesy of Hasbro, we have additional information about the release and pricing of the 'Megatron Rises' exclusive set of Nike shoes and action figure: apparently, some of the items will be available separately, as well as part of the box set, but not the redecoed Megatron toy. Check out the details below, and make sure to check out yesterday's news story for the full gallery!

-- The "Megatron Rises" Box set carries a retail price of $550. (NOTE: The box set is the two pair of sneakers, a pair of cleats, and the special edition Transformers Megatron action figure.)
-- All "Megatron Rises" items will be available as of November 26 with the "Megatron Rises" Box set available a few days earlier in limited quantities only at 21 Mercer in New York City.
-- Outside of the "Megatron Rises" Box set, the special edition Megatron Transformers figure will be sold as a promotional item with the CJ Trainer Max Megatron (Calvin's signature shoe) ONLY. It is only available with purchase of that particular model.

Per that exact quote, the toy comes in the box set *AND* with the regular pair of shoes, the "not sold separately" appears to apply to the cleats and the other shoes in the box set..

Why does a Megatron themed shoe have so much red on it?

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if Calvin has any figures or some type of collection...
