SDCC Exclusives are being sold at HTS.com on july 26,I called the HTS phone number & found out.

I just got off the phone from the HTS.COM customer service phone number 1-800-408-0052.

I asked the HTS customer service women. if hasbro had any plans of selling the SDCC convention exclusives on their HTS.com web site. the woman responded & said yes on Jult 26.

I then asked the women if she had a list of what was being sold for the Transformers brand on the HTS.com web site on july 26. the HTS customer service women told me the following: A TF Prime toy & a Ultimate optimus prime toy.

I asked the HTS women if their was any MP Rodimus on the list & she said no. I then asked if their was any rodimus on the list & she said no.

So I guess TRU MP Rodimus is being sold at the SDCC 2011 convention & on-line at the TRU.com web site. since this MP Rodimus is TRU's exclusive,it's not being sold on the HTS.com web site as part of the SDCC exclusives this tuesday july 26.

Since I reported this info first. can I please get my very first news credit added to my profile.

Awesome news! I can only hope that the G.I. Joe/Transformer set of Starscream and Cobra Commander will also be sold at HTS. I guess I need to wake up early that day and start refreshing the screen!

Seibertron.com member deathy called the HasbroToyShop hotline and asked for the date when HTS would start selling this years SDCC exclusives.
The answer was 26 July, just like in our title.

So just 4 more days to go and all of you who did not make it to SDCC can have a second go at them.

Ah yes 4 more days until a go under a caffeine induced coma from all of the starbucks and Rockstar energy drink Im going to consume that morning. Last year wasn't too bad with the blaster set but the year before with the re-issue of soundwave was a nightmare. Judging by how these items are selling on eba this year is looking good, I havent seen them going for ridiculous prices except for the Gi joe Starscream, thats averaging around $100..

So are they just selling the Ultimate Optimus Prime , Prime Preview Matrix figure and Cobra Commander / Starscream set?

does anyone know how much the transformers prime optimus is gonna be? I get paid until next friday!

I think the eBay price for the Prime Deluxe prime is a joke.
asking 100$ for a 20$ item, that I believe will be the longest lasting HTS SDCC toy left.

otherwise HTS should have it as...

Deluxe Prime Prime $19.99
Ultimate Optimus $89.99
Star Scream $49.99

forget eBay prices, SDCC has become Scalper capital.
I really hope something is done about the ridiculousness of the gouging this stuff gets.

FYI, there is also a new HTS promo code for 10% thru 08/15/11: COMIC2011

Anyone know what is different about the SDCC ultimate Optimus Prime and the regular store version other than the packaging?

I'm confused: is Unicron an SDCC toy or an upcoming store exclusive re-(re-re-re-)release?

I've heard it comes with an extra sticker sheet, not completely sure though. I think the packaging is he main draw.

Thanks for the news credit. this is awesome because it's my very first news credit here on seibertron.com.

Unicron will be an Amazon exclusive and should be available in October.

Anyone know WHEN they come online? Line, time wise?

Looks like I'm going to camp out in front of my computer so I can get what I want. Starscream will be my early b day gift. So is it safe for me to assume that the orders will be made available starting at midnight of the 26th?

All three looks great ,just wish i had the $$

If I remember correctly, Blaster and the other SDCC exclusives were up on HTS a little before 9am (eastern). I checked basically every hour (refreshing from iPhone). However, from what I've read on here, you never know with HTS. So, prepare accordingly!

For those who havent ordered from HTS before for SDCC exclusives I have to warn you about something. If you are a MISB collector I would be prepared to be disgusted, The last 2 years I have ordered from them for the SDCC excl I have receieved them in a humongous box, no packing material what so ever and the item itself was damaged. I sent my Soundwave back 3 times and received an equally damageded product twice. I'm ordering from a dealer off of ebay this year, sure it's a few more bucks but the difference is that extra cash is going towards packing material to ensure my items arrive MISB..Screw HTS /rant

BBTS had 3 of the transformers items listed and of course all of them are sold out. Prime "Prime" was 39.99, Ultimate Op was 169.99 and the Gijoe SS was 99.99..Im paying waaaay less than that on ebay..The rush for these on the morning of the 26th is going to be quick and fast...and im sure damaged en route as well

Are these for ALL the Hasbro exclusives or just the TF's? I'm hearing from Joe guys Monday is when they're going up.

People should be checking starting on Monday if they want to keep all the bases covered.

I still have NIGTHMARES the year SDCC Alternators nemesis prime went up for sale on the HTS web site. apparently it was a huge star wars SDCC esclusive year & the star wars fans over loaded the HTS web site at 9:00 am resulting in the HTS site over loading & being shut down all day.

Apparently the trick with the HTS site when ordering SDCC exclusives on that announced day. is to use the phone number & place a phone order in.

why do they dicide to release these the day im working early? i wont have a chance at getting that starscream now. a month or so ago they said these would be released the MONDAY after the con, the 25th which i put in for specifically to buy these items, why the sudden change?

If I were you guys who want these I would start checking first thing in the morning. I have a feeling they will put them up tomorrow. Not saying deathy is wrong, I have no doubt he accurately reporting what the customer service rep told him but I've also seen emails from HTS stating Monday. Bottom line, it won't hurt to start checking tomorrow, I know I will.

Maybe the hasbro crew at the SDCC 2011 convention need a extra day. to count up all the un-sold sdcc convention items. then add those toys to the available count towards the HTS.COM site that will be selling these sdcc toys on-line.

Well I'm looking now and it's 9:00 EST on Monday and nothing is up.

It's tomorrow or Wednesday the latest, read the article http://www.fighting118th.com/2011/07/24/sdcc-2011-hasbro-booth-final-thoughts/ here.
