I'm a little out of loop this year; what are the hot TF SDCC items this time around?
I'm considering the 3 Pack: Brainstorm, Windblade, and Sentinel Prime, as the only other way (at this time) to get Brainstorm is through Wallgreens. Plus, that Windblade is a repaint of the RiD line (Warriors class?) Windblade, so would be a unique mold for me. I'm kinda Meh on Sentinel, which is why I haven't completely decided.
Fortress Maximus comes with his Master Sword, which is not coming with the normal Hasbro release. But, since I have acquired a Master Sword, I will not be over-paying for SDCC Ft. Max. (Plus, isn't one of the heads from the Takara set?)
I think there might be a couple of other Transformers related items, but these are the two I've seen the most chatter about.
I'm planning on getting the GI Joe/Transformers crossover set with vehicles based on Powerglide and Soundwave. Going back and forth on Fort Max.
As for hot items, last year the site slowed to an absolute crawl because people were trying to get the First Order Stormtrooper figure. I don't think anything this year will sell out that fast, but you'd better get in early if you want, say, the Magic cards set.
