    FOMO can be a strong feeling. But my space and budget is tightening so, if I have a great version of the characters already...

    Protoman said Hasbro was/is probably gonna go full force with ROTB at SDCC and reveal stuff. And I think it is very likely we get the ROTB toys revealed there. Especially since we know they are in the US rn waiting to be shipped out.

    I especially remember since there was a bunch of Target listings that leaked a while ago so it only makes sense I guess

    Not even that. We knew since early this year ROTB toys were coming this year (gimmick toys at the least) because it was too late to stop manufacturing them. And we know from constant updates from SilverOptimus that they are in the US or have been arriving here since early June and are waiting to be distributed. So SDCC would be a great way to reveal them as they go out to retailers.

    Not even that cause they could always delay them since those were before the movie got delayed.

    But we know since early this year ROTB toys were coming this year (gimmick toys at the least) because it was too late to stop manufacturing them.

    I think revealing them at Sdcc is waaay too early, especially with the movie coming out another year from now. I seriously doubt they’ll reveal them there, but I’m sure they’ll have enough other stuff to reveal.

    At some point they have to cause we know those toys are coming this year way before the movie comes out, cause we know again that they are coming/are in the US already. And again it makes more sense to reveal them there with the toys already waiting in warehouses, taking up valuable space and money, just waiting to be distributed. So if we don't see a reveal there then I expect them to slip out with no mention of them. Till 2023 when they get "repacked" in proper ROTB packaging instead of Cyberverse packaging.

    Let me give you a good reason why Hasbro wouldn’t do it. Marvel’s Eternals we’re already in the US in the summer of 2020(Heck! Some of the pegs in stores already had the name up). Marvel didn’t reveal the line til the end of 2021 summer.
    Holding off This isn’t the first time this has happened with their product.

    They most likely reveal the RotB stuff, somewhere close to Toy Fair 2023

    You think those exclusives won't be revealed until the actual convention?

    That was only in one or 2 places not everywhere. Most of them were out and revealed like you said in 2021.

    Their situation is more like Black Widow. The toys and everything are ready to be made and sent out even with the movie delayed it's too late to stop production on them and waste space in the warehouses/assembly line that could be used for more valuable stuff.
    Nope, they'll be revealed before it. Probably in the coming weeks.

    I can't wait. But mostly because I want to know what exclusives there are for Star Wars and Power Rangers. We already have a clue on what the Transformer one is. Normally there would be one Power Ranger Exclusive and 3 Star Wars ones.

    The Black Widow situation was quite different because they pushed back the movie almost 2 months, before it was supposed to be released. The figures for those were already released at that time. It was too late for Hasbro to take their stuff out of stores. Cmon Ha

    I’m telling ya, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment, if you think they’re going to reveal the RoTb stuff at Sdcc

    A lot of places have it listed in their systems and they have to at some point reveal them and they're not going to wait a whole half year just to reveal them in January next year they can't just keep on pushing the reveal date because oh it goes better with the movie it's been made and they just can't hold on to it forever without it leaking it's already started leaking and they just might as well reveal everything

    I’m pretty sure they will just to build some hype for the movie, it’s not like this isn’t normal for them to do. We’ve literally seen quite a bit of Transformers figures available in stores, months before Hasbro revealed them.

    Which is why it would make sense if they revealed something that Comic-Con so that not everything the line has gets leaked beforehand

    With Hasbro’s long history, you know they won’t lol

    The end of this year or the beginning of next year(around the time of Toy Fair and a new trailer for the movie) for reveals

    Hasbro announced that they would be at San Diego Comic-Con this year they're going to reveal something for Transformers, and according to some reliable people rise of the Beast is what they're going to reveal
