I can't remember, but HTS generally puts up SDCC items a week or two after the con right?

 

Yup.

 

Nice, I missed out on the original decoys, so those will be a nice addition to my collection. Box art looks AMAZING!!! I'm planning on buying this Metroplex instead of the retail one. I may starve my wallet, but it will be worth it, I really wanna have mine dual-wield.

 

I pre-ordered the Takara Metroplex but just cancelled it. If I'm going to get a Metroplex (still not sure) I want the SDCC version. I don't care about the decoys but I like the chrome thighs. The Takara version only has the chrome face. I like the box on the SDCC version as well.

In my opinion SDCC>Takara>Hasbro

Of course the cost will go in that order as well.

 

Don't know why people don't like the small figures yet another thing that's part of Transforemrs that people don't seem to remember.

Hope someone casts these up after the con.

 

Is the white on this version different from the retail one? Maybe it's the lighting?

 

Back in the day the Mini Spy's were cool but the Decoys were stupid, pointless & looked like erasers.

 

I think the decoys are fine. Decades ago I got little plastic mobile suit gundam decoys in various colors with arcade tickets, Loved the sculpts.

These may not have exactly the same charm to them. I think they could have given us twelve robots instead of a mix easily. But I like that its the upcoming generations deluxes that got these decoys. So it's more relevant specifically to the generations line. Though A decoy of Springer and Blitzwing would help.

 

Truely EPIC.

Wondering when that hand will be released though. And how much. Could really use an extra hand.  

 

I'm hoping I'll be able to pick up the decoys from someone who doesn't want them for a reasonable price.

 

PM me if any of you guys going to sdcc want to pick me up one.
