Toy Images of SDCC Exclusive G1 Autobot Blaster

It's interesting that two different versions of Blaster come out this week. I'm starting to think that "USB Hub" Blaster was delayed simply because it might fair better sales wise when SDCC Blaster comes out. Blaster fever baby!

where art thou Rewind?

QFT! Is it too much to ask for one more to be in there?

Yeah, amen to that. That's the only thing keeping this from being a perfect set in my book.

Already have the Takara Collection reissue of Blaster. Now all I need is the Encore reissue #15 to have the Eject and Rewind reissue effect. Does anyone know why the Cassette #15 box reissue with Eject & Rewind is worth so much more than the other 2 Encore cassette reissue sets combined?

There were far fewer of them produced IIRC.

I don't even know if that's true.

At BotCon in 2009 they couldn't GIVE those Encore 15 sets away. They were $25-30 in most of the booths.

There's probably less of them in general, that much is true. Something else is at play though or people are just frustrated at what they can't have to finish a set.

Can this Blaster hold 2 cassettes like Soundblaster?

Don't count on it.

Hasbro is doing all the catering to fans this year that we've been screaming about for a decade, and this is no exception. I've had my eyes on a G1 Blaster for many years now, and now I've got no excuse beyond not finishing in the race to get these on HTS before they sell out.

Real shame about no Rewind, however. Considering the price of Encore 15 and the fact that I don't need a fifth Ravage, I'm more apt to spend $15 - 30 and pick up a loose G1 Rewind before everyone else has the same idea and the price for THAT skyrockets.

Any ideas as to when (or if) this will be availble on HTS??

We'll probably get a Rewind in the inevitable Twincast release, if there is one. *hopes* I already have a Blaster! The minions make me consider having a second!

"Where art thou Rewind?" from what I see, he's wearing Eject's body. Notice the red (not orange) face. That's Rewind.
(Which reminds me of the oopsie 1987 Rewind I bought. I call him "Black Eject" -- on purpose this time -- because he's wearing Eject's paint apps instead of his own.)

Does anyone know if Hasbro fixed Blaster eject button? I have the original Blaster and button doesn't work on that one either and i think theres a fix, but not time for that yet.

It's a good thing i got all of my Encore cassettes to match with Blaster: old and new.

That issue is a hit-and-miss, because it's an internal missassembly issue. I believe there were none with Takara's Bookbox release.

does any one know if blaster is already sold out on HTS? I have been looking all morning and havent seen him at all just Prowl

Haven't seen Blaster yet, Prowl is up however.

Been watching since 8:30a, central time

so there is still hope! first thing i did when i woke up was check HTS on my iphone while i was still half asleep in bed

just hope he comes up before i have to leave for work or i might miss out

TSK! Blaster is way more important than your job! XD Who needs money! oh wait...lol

but really that would suck I just checked again and before Mighty Muggs Prowl picture wasn't working and now they have seemed to fix it so my best guess would be soon!

HES UP!!

and hes bought. YES!!! my first convention exclusive ever!!!! and i also got an acid storm to start "Project Thundercracker" with

nooo please don't timeout!! >< hit place order and its loading...

Just got him too.

Looks like the site was hit at 10am on the nose by all of us.

Reported to Seibertron as news as well, maybe I will get a news feed with my name on it.

YESS!! HES BOUGHT!

Yeah! Got my order in! Wish there was a free shipping code or something tho....

yeah definately. but the promo code helps

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

got partial credit on a NEWS scoop at Seibertron.com.

It is Him, SideSwipe and myself all got some love for it.

That's a first.

Although I wish I would shut up and waited for it to break, would have saved me another $5 with the code

WOW all the other exclusives were picked up QUICK! Blaster sold out in like 30 minutes, then Captain America, Iron Man 2 Mighty Muggs and Thor.

I hit place order on Captain America with Prowl, iron Man 2 mighty muggs and a few others and it said sold out on Capt and Iron man I was like noooooooo! then I checked to see what else I could snatch up quick but then i was like screw it so I ordered Prowl and some things my sister wanted.

I just checked the site and the only thing left on the site was Littlest Pet Shop, My Little Pony, Spider-man, and Prowl. All of the rest are not even listed anymore.

So far my comic con looting includes Masterpiece Grimlock, Blaster, and Mighty Muggs Prowl. Oh and the other day I got my hands on Cybertronian Bumblebee.

Sorry to anyone who didn't get a blaster or anything else they wanted from HTS.

If it uses the same construction method as Takara's TFC #21 Blaster, you'll be ok.
I have the original Blaster and the only fix I found was when I opened it up myself (with a #1 or #0 Phillips screwdriver) and manually fixed it. I can't remember much more than that, but if I have to do it again, I'll try to write down the process.

Stockade, looking at your icon, are you also "Maiden Japan" on TFW2005? If so, I have and love your Rumble & Frenzy pile drivers, as well as your Soundwave head.
