    If the guys that got this on RK don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for shipping and where are you located? I'm from Puerto Rico and sometimes we get slammed hard in shipping costs.

    Heads up, scalpers at SDCC are trying to sell this for $275, and at eBay for ~$150-$200. You're better off waiting for HTS to drop them.

    There's booths at SDCC trying to scalp the hell out of the Hasbro exclusives due to the line's lottery system.

    I was surprised that not a single booth at SDCC had the regular Optimal Optimus. So yeah the Throne came first to me.

    People may complain about robot kingdom, but I learned after my own complaints that shipping multiple items versus only one is a better option. So it kept the costs more reasonable. So I’m on with what I want. Not with the ebay and scalper prices. Glad I grabbed these as soon as I could.

    Thinking about this set and how it is the only way to get the remaining PMs, it is such a wasted opportunity Repugnus and Blast Off come with Megatronus and Solus and not Nexus and Amalgamous. In case I'm not able to get this, there's gonna be some repurposing for those translucent PMs in my collection, since I was lucky enough to secure the Amazon Trilogy.

    30 shipping to Malaysia. Now I hope they actually stick to their “Ships August 1st” date. They said that Blastoff would ship July 1st and mine still hasn’t.

    They gave out tickets and you could only buy if you had been preselected with a ticket so really, really good. About 5 minutes, a breeze!

    Not like some other exclusives, eh ;) 

    Hehehe, so glad I stayed in line after they told me "almost no chance you can get it!"

    Could you elaborate more on the line up process? If you had been preselected in the online lottery, why would they say "almost no chance you can get it?"

    Was there another element of uncertainty beyond getting the online lottery voucher? Your input would be greatly appreciated for next year.

    Sorry mate, I was referring to a different line for something completely unrelated. I did not make that very clear! Hasbro line was great this year.
