Same here. That set is amazing, but I'm really going for Illyana/Magik and Dormammu.

I'm glad that they are giving an actual date for the beginning of this yearly online hellish experience. Likely they have it 2 weeks later to allow for the product to ship back from the convention. I'm also hoping there's plenty to go around, as well as a smooth experience in trying to purchase them.

Well I'm trying to score one or two things off ebay just so I have less to grab the day of. HTS is one of those stores that allow for things to be sold out of your cart

After picking up Devy for $127 after tax I've guaranteed myself getting at least one of the upgrade sets from one of the companies! For some reason I still like that SDCC one, but not enough for me to wait and spend $60 more after taxes.Rated X wrote:Those sets are probably gonna be the biggest transformers shelfwarmers in SDCC history, especially that Devy. They really screwed up not going for a G2 deco. Instead they tried to do a "premium version" only to be outshined by Takara and a host of cool 3rd party upgrades for the cheaper version.

Instead they tried to do a "premium version" only to be outshined by Takara and a host of cool 3rd party upgrades for the cheaper version. The fembots will eventually sell. Its such a niche deco aimed towards comic readers. But new heads (new characters) would have made the recipe for a better sell. Maybe a 3rd party can offer something to make the fem clowns more desirable.
Well, Takara outshines the SDCC version in functionality, accessories and features, but not in deco. The Takara Devy has as much paint apps as the Hasbro version, just in different places for a more G1 feel. Of all the decos, SDCC has the most amount of paint.

Don't know if this is news, but since people have been talking about a shortage of them, I'll post it. Deluxe Arcee and Chromia (the non-Hunters ones) are on BBTS under new arrivals.

Thsnks. I probably shouldn't have paid that much for Rodimus, but it beats waiting for BBTS and then paying even more for both of them when I don't actually want Skywarp.

Wave 1
Wave 2
Deployers Set of 2
If I remember correctly, I think Chuck said, in his video reviews, that he got his Deployers from RK.

@ hobbysearch, Devastar Y 21250. around $ 40 less from the regular price of $ 201.35. Just remember, they automatically use EMS

Is the regular price really 201.35$ or is that just the markup put by takaratomymall for buying online? Because all the evidence shows that the actual retail price for all Takara products in Japan is actually the discounted price Amiami and other sell it for, about 18000 Y.

hobbysearch's prices are more to the level of hlj in pricing. As Amiami is the Big Kahuna in discounts (with the exception of artbooks )

Oh man, you are totally right! Hobbysearch is indeed the closest price to what you would get at Japanese retail. Here is Drift for instance at 2250 Y http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10333938
And at retail in Japan he was found for 2125 Y http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/june-takara-tomy-transformers-adventure-toys-available-and-found-at-japan-retail/33333/, so less by 1$.
Although I am still trying to figure out what the deal is with that inflated MSRP.

This might not be related but I also noticed recently that hobbysearch isn't too keen at selling TFs. Just a feeling with a bit of evidence (it was my reminding them to carry TAV line like PG that got them to solicitate the latest tranch release). Even hlj beats them at solicitation offer (Devs was offered after like 2 weeks since Amiami's) though in terms of reliability at releasing your reserves, they always push through.
The price of theirs might be a safety precaution in case DEvs doesn't sell (?) Speculation on my part.

Another reminder: if you want stuff just to sell for profit, go after the Magic cards (if they even did those this time around?) and the Stormtrooper. The TF stuff will totally not increase on the secondary market. Totally. No reason I'd say that on a TF board or anything

My fiber is running extremely well this morning. Hooray for being a network admin!!
To be honest, the only thing I wanted to buy today was the Converse Chuck Taylor II's. I'm entertaining the thought of SDCC Devastator..

Can confirm. I barely squeaked out with the class of 1984 last year (3rd or 4th left before it sold out) and intend to repeat the performance this year.
Might try for the femmes, too, but that'll be an impulse buy.

I can vouch for that storm trooper, the hasbro booth at SDCC was overwhelmed. And this being a big year for star wars, the SDCC exclusive will be uber wanted online. Not for long term, but for the short term, it will be a very in demand item.
