    Anybody know what time they start letting people into Sails in order to get the bags and line up for the HTS tickets?

    Hey,

    Would anyone going to SDCC be able to grab me the exclusive Usagi Yojimbo set at the Nickelodeon booth? I'd be super grateful!

    Also, just in case, does anyone know if the leftover Playmates exclusives go up for sale anywhere after SDCC?

    Thanks guys and gals!

    Will there be any sort of preview event (shareholders presentation, etc.) tonight? The panel is Thursday but I know that Hasbro has sometimes revealed some toys early at conventions.

    I would assume so. The last few years they've shown off some new stuff the night before. Maybe this year a figure that hints kr reveals the core PotP gimmick?

    I wouldn't be surprised to see the rest of Titans Return wave 6 in the case at Preview night. Beyond Slugslinger we know nothing solid though computer listings lead us to believe there's Optimus Primal & Toraizer Titanmasters coming.

    Bu It occurs to me that if Hasbro have TR at the previews night we're running out of opportunities to play "Guess Wave 6"

    So:

    TITANMASTERS see above. I'm going to take a punt that that might be that plus rereleases. Possibly Grotusque I suppose....

    LEGENDS Outback/Gears from Brawn. A Throttlebot. Possibly Frenzy, but I think they've gone off tapes in a big way.

    DELUXE We saw Slugslinger at Australian Toyfair. I'd be surprised to see Crosshairs coming now they've done Orion Pax. So Fangry from Twinferno, Nightbeat from Chromedome, Pointblank from Hot Rod and (possibly) Arcee from Blurr are my predictions.

    VOYAGERS Apeface & Snapdragon.

    LEADER CW Wave 6 Leaders was repacks, won't surprise me if it's the same here. I suppose we might see a Thunderwing, from Sky Shadow, or Scorponok but not counting on it.

    Bold prediction: Parts of the final TR wave are in wave 1 of the next line. (To help fill things out)

    Wouldn't it be the opposite? Parts of PotP seep into the final wave of Titans as we saw with Buzzsaw?

    I still say Seaspray is an early PotP figure. The design choices around that blue panel that just comes off, the lack of any traditional "slot" to stick a Titanmaster, and the random hole in the top of his yellow propellers seems like something you'd expect from an updated power-master...

    I doubt Scorpy would be downgraded from Titan figure candidate to Leader mainline.

    I don't disagree w/Seaspray possibly being a early look at PotP but, your point about the Titanmaster slot isn't correct. He has a full cockpit just like Brawn, Bumblebee, and Wheelie etc.

    If there was anything today, I would only expect stuff we already know. All new stuff will be Thursday.
