Screw the extra gun and minis; I just want the chrome job! =P~

Factoring out difficulty and shipping, this set is only $25-40 more than the vanilla Metro. :-B

But yeah, unless HasbroToyShop stocks this, I'm gonna end up with Vanilla-Metro. I'm not paying Poacher fees to those A-holes who managed to get to SDCC. :-x

I wonder what kind of limits they'll set at SDCC on this Metro... It'd be nice if one of us could make it to SDCC and just secure a sizeable stash to sell to Seibertron members! But I'm thinking it'll be something like "2 per customer" or less. :-?

"Boba Fett and Han Solo in Carbonite" made me think they were both frozen. Together. Kinda disappointed that wasn't the case.

I have absolutely no clue as to what the Deadpool Squirrel and tacos are all about, but I like it!

Too bad we couldn't get a Six-gun figure. That would have been the icing on the cake.
Btw, pre-ordered the Tomy version.

I prefer the Takara deco. Those chrome hips look a bit odd to me.

I'm beginning to realize that I seem to like the SDCC boxes more than the figures. I really like that Metroplex box.

Shockwave's laboratory and the (almost confusingly named) Titan figures are easy passes. Really don't care for them.

I'm not as impressed by Metroplex as I thought I'd be. I wasn't expecting much from the twelve mini-figures, and while they are a nice little extra, I don't think they make this version more essential than either of the other two. Not really digging the chrome. It looks a little obnoxious here, and considering it may eventually chip off, again maybe not worth it. May just stick to Takara's version. Will be a damn sight easier to get hold of as well.

Does anybody know when these will show up on HTS? The site doesnt show anything at the moment.

Probably during or after SDCC, which is 15 July. I can't imagine people getting them earlier than that.

All of the 12 little mini-figurines that come with Metroplex are super-detailed in sculpt and use designs of the Generations Thrilling 30 toys.

None of the SDCC exclusive TFs interest me this year (which is kind of a relief).

I like the GI Joe crossover set, but like the last two years, I assume it will be sold out within seconds.

Thank you for that.

I'm loving all of the disinterest in Metroplex... Maybe that means I have slightly more then a snowball's chance in hell of snagging it from the HTS! While the twelve extra figures don't look like anything hot, I'd love that extra gun and the chrome. (I normally don't care for extra chrome... but it looks good on Metroplex!)

Yes - more disinterest please. I want that Lab and I'm gunning for Metroplex.

The SDCC exclusives for Hasbro generally became available on their website Monday morning after SDCC. From my previous experiences a couple of years ago that meant anywhere from midnight to 6am. Is this still true?

Sometimes. I think last year saw releases on the Tuesday and then more and more was released through the day into Wednesday.
