This is excellent news for people who were able to place their orders before Hasbro Toy Shop stopped taking phone orders. Couple this with the reappearance of Nemesis Prime on Hasbro Toy Shop, and hopefully this entire mess will finally be worked out.

Our sponsor BigBadToyStore.com now has the hard to find and in demand SDCC Exclusive Nemesis Prime Alternator in stock for $44.95.

To say there's been a bit of contraversy regarding the SDCC Exclusive Alternators Nemesis Prime would be a bit of an understatement. Easily the most desired Alternators figure since Alternators Swerve, the figure apparently sold out very quickly Wednesday at San Diego Comic Con.

Today, at 9am EST, HasbroToyShop.com was to place the figure as "available" and begin taking orders. However, due to a massive influx of people logging in to that system (most for SDCC Star Wars figures), the website remained unstable for hours and the Alternators Nemesis Prime was not made available.

Many of you took it upon yourselves to call HasbroToyShop.com directly through their 1-800 number, and many of us placed orders.

Numerous reports are now coming in saying Hasbro will NOT honor those phone-call orders from this morning. We understand many of you are worried about your personal information and your credit card information that were given to HasbroToyShop.com phone operators. We urge you to call HasbroToyShop.com directly to resolve the matter and make sure your information, if it was NOT used to order the toy you wanted, is destroyed properly.

Moving on to our next subject... The Transformers Collectors Club.

At 9am CST this morning, Brian Savage released a "very limited" number of Alternators Nemesis Prime figures. Hundreds of Transformers collectors were turned away with "card error" issues. Savage apologized for the problems but said they are completely sold out and will not be re-stocked. He asks that people stop E-mailing and calling regarding the issue, because there's literally nothing they can do.

We'll keep you updated regarding this issue, and if anyone "official" has any more words regarding the matter.

UPDATE!!!

Posters at the AllSpark are reporting having spoken to supervisors at HasbroToyShop.com's call center. According to a supervisor there, the store was only receiving a total of 900 Nemesis Primes to sell. Between phone orders and website orders (apparently if you clicked "Coming Soon" and checked out your cart, you would have a Nemesis Prime there, at least so says this supervisor), the store is saying they are completely sold out.

Our own Tony Bacala reported in from SDCC today and mentioned that Nemesis Prime is split in to a certain amount to be sold each day, and that they sell out very quickly in the morning.

As usual, we'll have more updates as we come across them.

Thanks to numerous sources for the news.

An image of Masterpiece 04 Convoy with Trailer has surfaced on an Asian image board. This is a first look at what the trailer will look like on a Masterpiece scale.

Although the image is not very clear, it is apparent that there are some nice details such as a weapon storage for Convoy's rifle. It can also fit an Alternator/Binal Tech in the bay as well. However, this initial image has no signs of Roller.

Tony Bacala and DESTRO called in from SDCC to let us know that the 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime DVD Edition appears to be all plastic.

More SDCC Transformers information including photos to follow.

UPDATE: Apparently appearances are deceiving. Word has come in that this recolor will contain the same amount of metal as the original.

The Transformers Collectors Club has put forth rules regarding the Thursday selling of Nemesis Prime from their online store. The Nemesis Primes for sale with TCC are for members only. At 9:00 AM Central Standard Time they will begin sales for Alternators Nemesis Prime.

Please keep in mind that Nemesis Prime will also be available at hasbrotoystore.com at 9:00 AM Eastern Standard Time.
