The Transformers Colombia Facebook group has shared some new images of the Amazon exclusive Generation 1 deco of Age of Extinction Slog. These new images show this sharp retro decoed toy in both his modes as well as giving us a look at the packaging – check them out attached to this story.

That really seems likely that was the case.

Exactly. I even called them on it, saying my order confirmation and the item listing says FIVE PACK, describing Slog as the fifth figure. They said it was a listing mistake, and that it was actually a four pack. I asked if there will be a discount because it was technically a mis-leading listing, and they said they would send the information to the management.
Never heard back from them.

Looks like it:
If you sign in and set your postal address, Amazon should tell you if they'll ship it to you when you view the listing.

Hey, on a side note, does Amazon ship to Malaysia? I want to get this bad boy to complete my G1 SDCC themed Dinobot set.

That's Hasbro for you. Shows they simply don't care about attention to detail or have any real pulse of the fandom.
And so don't buy the sloppy sets.

they probably originally intended to do the 5 dinobots all in a set…then figured it would not hit a price point or some other "******ed ass corporate" bean counter rule…..so it got cut to the 4 dinobots.
another thing that is strange is that this TF is not getting released until late december….
so maybe the mold was not available to make this guy in the #'s needed in time for SDCC…
triKlops
Same for myself; I was wondering about that…

I think he means the title/description originally used by HTS for the Dinobot set when they first were listed for sale. Just a guess as my order confirmation says "Transformers Dinobots Generation One 5-Pack".

You assume it's Hasbro who decided to not make these store exclusives, but don't forget Hasbro and the stores both work in partnership on these things. How do we know that Target / Walmart / etc were not offered this initially but declined to carry it in favour of what they've got?

Original listing where? The set was first revealed on IGN, as a four-pack.
Also, direct links to the photos on Amazon:

Where are the new images? The FB link doesn't work for people not in the group, and the Amazon stock photos are the same.

Nice packaging for slog…i cannot wait to get his toy.
Robogeek28
Yeah, I've decided to get neither of these because of it.
Defensor
Maybe I'm just nitpicking but where's the CHROME? The SDCC set had vac metalized parts like the G1 dinobots had but Slog appears to just have gold/silver paint and plastic instead.
Dachande
The original listing for the SDCC set says 5 figures and even named Slog as the fifth member. My order confirmation from then even says Dinobot Five-Pack.

hooray, ANOTHER non retail store exclusive.. i'm starting to sound as redundant as this shit is.
it's just so annoying that NONE of the nice looking exclusives are retail store exclusives in the US. congrats hasbro!.

Yeah it makes so much sense: make a G1 themed set with only 4 Dinobots, but make the AOE set and include one that wasn't on screen. I'm sure most people would've preferred Slog to have been in the SDCC set instead of the Dinobots Unleashed where he really is a spare part.
thunder117
Nice, but so bullshit that he wasn't included with the SDCC 5-pack.

Very happy I pre-ordered this dude!

Looks even better in packaging. Can't wait!
