When do SDCC exclusives show up on HTS?

Greetings, everyone!(Insert obligatory first-time poster stuff here)
Looking around I've seen that the exclusives from Comic-Con showed up last year the week after the convention. Has anyone heard when they're going up this time? I've broken down and I've decided that I need that Bruticus. =P~
Sorry if this has been asked and answered before, I did a search and came up with nothing.

Usually the Monday or Wednesday after SDCC, usually and buttcrack of dawn or earlier (like 12:00:01 and it's Monday earlier). It's kind of hard to nail down tbh. Far as I know there's been no definite announcement yet

YW. I'm glad I will not be waiting up for that mess tbh. Hopefully you get your order in but it's a free for all, fair warning now. You'll see, oh you will see......

Ah I was looking for this thread, it's an annual tradition and all. 2 things I hate about HTS are they never tell you when things are going up and their servers can't handle the crunch. Hopefully someone will post here when things go live.

Does Hasbro ever announce a time? I know last year we were given a heads up in the Seibertron news feed and they were close enough (I think Hasbro posted about an hour after Seibertron said they would).

Just called the HTS 800 number and they said that they can take phone call orders once the items are available on the website. That's a good alternative if the site is bogged down by traffic.

Nope, I tried milking that from her too. All she could say was that it would be posted soon. When I asked her if it was going to be at all today, she stressed checking "periodically."

Which would be easier if there was at least s SDDC section on the HTS web site.

If they go up today. Might be tomorrow as the HTS staff usually needs time to go through what they have.

Didn't they go up the day after SDCC last year? I was under the impression they have a set number for the store regardless.

I want to say they went up on Tuesday. Yes and no in regards to the set number. What HTS sells is what's left over from SDCC, Hasbro by law can't sell everything they bring to SDCC in case something is broken or missing.

Don't forget the discount code COMIC2012 for 10% off

I am hoping they go up soon. I worked all night last night so technically been up since 11am yesterday. After noon today I'm going to have to call it. All I really want is the HISS Shockwave. Already preordered the G2 Bruticus on Amazon, so not interested in that one. I really don't want to pay 300% for the item if I don't have to.

I'm giving it to a little after 10 AM EST since they usually should have stuff up before then. I wish there was someone who's a computer expert who could look to see if the web pages are up but not "live" yet.

I am so terribly beyond ready. Have like 5 different pages open so I can refresh each category, then I have a checkout screen already prepped by having added something in the basked to apply my discount code, then deleted them item. I just have to add it to basket, refresh checkout and click the "shut up and take my money" button. Then will come the following:

Sense of accomplishment = Check.
Greatness in a small cardboard box starting its journey to my house = Check.
Finally going to bed after what seems like an eternity = CheckCheckCheckMFingCheck.

Just be careful, they can still take items out of your cart. Had it happen to me. Page is loading faster looks like people are giving up.

I noticed a little while back they took the "SDCC" titles from a few of the items (the Maximum Carnage Muggs, the Cuponk set, etc.), is that only to not confuse this year's items? Or maybe they aren't going to title the new items as "SDCC" items? Just curious if that's a recurring trend for HTS.

I noticed that too. As far as I know that's just something they do. FYI spoke to a few people on FB and it doesn't look like things are going up today as they just got back today

Last year it was on Tuesday...but I also thought we knew that info ahead of time. Seems very last minutey this year. Unless they're planning to just throw them up unannounced in attempt to save their website a bit of pounding.

So is it looking like tomorrow then? Or is it still up in the air?

At this point, I'm just having fun with the anticipation! It's like waiting for concert tickets where you get something more tangible and less ear damage-y.
