    The way prices are going up for Deluxe figures (getting close to 20 dollars for one), I'd say buy this set.

    The set that I was able to buy from BBTS was 40 dollars, so this is 10 dollars less. I think that my purchase was easily worth it, since you get the three kids and Optimus Prime (plus an episode on DVD). Megatron is awesome in Deluxe form, and in my opinion...much better than his Voyager counter-part.

    Or if you do not care about the kids or Optimus Prime, you could always sell them separately on Ebay. I'm sure the kids alone could sell for 10 dollars, which puts the set back down to Deluxe pricing.

    Was it a one time showing? Are the items still there? Were you able to spot any more figures?



    Deluxe Starscream
    Deluxe Arcee
    Deluxe Vehicon
    Deluxe Zombie Cliffjumper

    Voyager Bulkhead
    Voyager Optimus Prime

    Entertainment Pack (Deluxe Megatron, Deluxe Optimus Prime, Jack, Raf, Miko, and an episode on DVD)



    So they are skipping regular Cliffjumper and Bumblebee.

    Well, looks like Hasbro kept their word. And it only took them 10 months.

    They had the FE Cliffjumper.
    Of course not, after a month?
    How many were spotted this time?
    Have they been restocked at this store?
    Did the other store have more than one?
    Was the packaging as beat to crap?
    Did the back have a bunch of Chinese text?

    fail on my end for not taking pictures of the back of the package... i can see some from canada making it to US about a month ago and not being considered a wide release which would make sense Mr. Gone.. more than likely it has to do with CA being a larger market overall and several people spotting them the same day...

    thanks for sharing your info as well bro and im sorry you didnt get a credit...

    well, how long ago was SDCC, that was the first time we really got a 'yes, we're going to do it' over a 'ehh, maybe if we have the chance perhaps down the line, eventually...if the cirumstances are right'

    YES! Although kinda sucks =P some people might have actually wanted that Bee over the RiD one, but then again, he's still available on online sites, for LESS than the RiD one in most cases lol.

    ? Who's they? The store you were at? If so, then maybe it was an FE left over from some other time? Hasbro showed at SDCC that they would be re-releasing certain FEs and showed I guess...votes...on why certain ones were picked.

    The list had Voyager Prime and Bulkhead, Deluxe Vehicon, Starscream, Arcee and Terrorcon Cliffjumper. No signs, news or hints that we would be getting 'normal' cliffjumper.

    Kinda makes you wonder though, at the same convention where Terrorcon Cliff was the exclusive, they announce that they're releasing him at retail (albeit without the energon pieces)

    I don't think that's possible. I don't own an RID Cliff, but as far as I know, it's like the other RID deluxes, where the ball on the balljoint isn't in the head, but at the base of the neck. The balljoints on the FE molds and therefore, the generations mold, has the ball in the head...making the heads unswitchable. But that's only if RID cliff is like the other figs

    my understanding of SDCC exclusives is it is run like a BTCC (british touring car championship) or any other type of event.. they have to be based off of a retail item but be different enough..

    im probably wrong but that comes from a friend within the industry..
