    As the only thing I'm after...

    At least unlike Boba, the Stormtrooper doesn't look like it has anything that the retail release won't besides packaging and releasing super early. :/

    No.

    IIRC, the following items were marked "out of stock for show" as of Sunday closing time: MTG, Dr. Strange, mini Ant Man, First Order Stormtrooper, the lightsaber.

    Hope this helps.

    So they had a banner up on the site that said the 28th? but now they don't or am I just not seeing it.

    Oh wait I do....damn. I guess they want to follow suit like Matty. This is gonna be hell.

    See post #55 in this very thread

    http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...sives-anticipation-thread-6.html#post12746182

    Note: this year's exclusives do not sport the usual silver Comic Con sticker, in line with the banner change on the order sheet which now reads "2015 Conventions Exclusives" rather than "Comic-Con Exclusives" as in past years. Perhaps NYCC will score some of these items? "Limited quantities of these items will be available at HasbroToyShop.com and select conventions."

    Thanks!! Somehow I missed that, those must be prices with tax included so I think the previous reports of the prices were not wrong.

    Correct, as shown on the order sheet, "prices include CA sales tax."

    I popped in to see if I could help out by answering some questions, but I see that AzT has got it all covered! :thumb 

    On a side note, I thought this year's offering were pretty strong. The Stormtrooper is terrific, Devy looks great, and the Kreo set is very tempting. I passed on the fembots, but I can see their appeal as well. I was a bit surprised that the Yoda lightsaber sold out. If I'm not mistaked, that lightsaber has been available at retail for awhile, I remember seeing the Fx yoda lightsaber listed at several e-tailer sites.

    Several of my friends picked up the GI Joe sets too, it was good to have some GI Joe stuff available. Hopefully we will see some more new product in that area soon. We're already seeing some new figure updates for the 50th anniversary, which looks cool.

    The Stormtrooper early samples all had limited elbows. Was the final product like that (for those openers)? Probably won't open if I score--it's all about the packaging here--but good to know when it sees mass release. Devy does look great but not sure it's great enough when the Takara will offer a lot of extra more toon-accurate features for a reasonable amount more. And will be a helluva lot easier to nab.

    As long as I'm thinking out loud, why is it Devastator can look damn near perfect while the other combiners merge forms look kinda...off? The updates are cool and all but I dunno..I got Go-Bots with better proportions.

    I saw Shartimus' review and I assume he got it from the con so it's final retail, and yes, it only has single jointed elbows.

    Is that the price listed for the Combiner Hunters Set?
    Nevermind, just went back and clicked on post 55. Holy crap, I CAN afford the set.

    FYI: I got around to playing with Chromia today, and the 90-degree gray arm that holds the front wheel assembly to the canopy has a twist in it. Makes the front wheel cockeyed in motorcycle mode, but doesn't hurt anything otherwise.
