BotCon 2015 Souvenir set's pricing

Sabrblade wrote:Well, I guess we already know what the 4-pack contains.

The 4 Waspinators, and that set is the one with the "extra Deluxe" if I may add.

We know two of the Souvenirs already (General Optimus Prime, Black Skids), so 4 to go, including the Freebee and Customizing Class figures.

And it looks like the Kre-O sets are here to stay.

Souvenir Set 1 (2 pack) - $89
-Probably G2 General Optimus Prime from Generations Roadbuster and G2 Sergeant Hound from Generations Scoop

Souvenir Set 2 (2 pack) - $79
-Probably Diaclone Skids from Generations Skids & Diaclone Police Sunstreaker from Classics Sunstreaker

Souvenir Set 3 (4 pack) - $169
- Waspinator 4 Pack

In regards to predicting Diaclone Police Sunstreaker:

1. Pete hinted in his podcast interviews that while a Diaclone box set would not work, a Diaclone 2 pack might.
2. The Japanese designer of Sunstreaker is a guest this year.
3. Diaclone Sunstreaker was a Police Car
4. Several Bots that have Police Cars as their alt modes have already been shown to be part of the Police Force in the comic preview.

So with that all in mind, despite not seeing a leaked prototype yet, I'm predicting we will see Diaclone Sunstreaker in the 2 pack with Skids

Lol, wouldn't it be funny if Chop Shop were the Class figure?

I really don't wanna be a hater but i gotta ahte on ur predictions they are neat ideas but i would really not wish them to be this years botcons souvenirs

In the latest (as of this typing) Twincast Podcast, Pete essentially gave away (indirectly) that there are four decos in the troop-builder set, which these four Waspinators have.

Also, he rebutted the assumption that the Club won't do Flywheels, saying that there's a chance but that the Duocons aren't that important a duo needing to be completed right now, and that the Blitzwing mold contains "challenges" with it that keep it from being a workable candidate.

It's less a logistical challenge and more that Pete simply doesn't like the mold. That's what I've heard, anyway.

I happen to love that mold, so I do hope a Flywheels redeco comes to us somehow.

I must have that one too!

It's literally the best of the four. I hope it's a fembot. Not because pink's a girl color or anything dumb like that, but because I like the idea of more bug lady's in Transfomers fiction that aren't actually arachnids. Like Beet Papil, I want her.

If this does turn out to be General Optimus Prime, I'm really glad they left the head alone and didn't make a more Optimus Prime-like headsculpt, since one of the things that made General Optimus Prime special was his being a straight redeco of a non-Optimus Prime toy, resulting in his headsculpt not looking like the traditional Optimus Prime headsculpt design. Keeping that aspect intact is the right way to go.

UltraPrimal wrote:G1 accuracy or not, I'd actually prefer a Prime-style head. Without it, he's just kinda...GI Joe Roadbuster.

To be fair, the green one didn't look like prime at all. It isn't really even Prime-like if you think about it.

They can't use a mold for a toy that hasn't even come out yet.

And hes not part of the souvenirs ....Yes....
