SDCC exclusives on HTS have never qualified for any of the discounts or free shipping. I don't see them changing that any time soon. These are items you can't just drive to walmart and pick up so they don't need to incentivize you to purchase it from them.
Waiting on the Missile Command set. I was Originally after a second Revolution set to split, but I'm having enough trouble selling off Jetfire.
They haven't actually gone up yet. They're just marked as out of stock until they're available. Also, for those who don't want to pay shipping: last year, some (if not all?) of the SDCC exclusives eventually went up on the HTS ebay page, with free shipping. Was a while later, though.
Second post from someone assuming they are gone... Folks, read the thread before coming to lament failure.
You know it's funny I wasn't interested in primitive Optimus at all when he was first revealed. And then I figured out that his skateboard ramp becomes a freaking railgun.
I'm looking for Skateboardimus Prime and the Revolution set. I would be going for the Missile Command Headquarters too, but I got a plastic reproduction of it about a decade ago so I don't need it.
Oh, i'm not lamenting. I'm not getting any of them; I just found it amusing that they were out of stock allready, but it appears that they haven't actually listed them yet anyway! Lol!
I'm just glad that they seem to be much more niche interest than some years. Shouldn't be *too* hard to pick up the ones I want.
I just want the Hascon Arcee set already. Still, some of those prices blow my mind. Primitive Prime is a pretty good price, but then TLK Voyager Prime is a smaller figure for the same price. And then there's that set of six Magic cards for about three times the price of the Transformers. That's... insane. Even the Revolution set is significantly cheaper than the MTG set!
I don't know if I'm surprised that the voyager prime is so expensive or that the skateboarding prime isn't.
but that Prime contains a piece of rubber from one of the tyres used in the film.. That's priceless being worth $0 is priceless, right?
The only cost "justification" on the voyager is the tire fragment from the actual truck. You're really buying a $30 voyager toy and a $20 movie souvenir.
