^ I haven't seen anything official for this year, but I seem to remember HTS SDCC items going up earlier in the past, like 8 or 9AM EDT.

What time is Blaster going to be up on HTS.com? 9am PST?
Mach Wind
Back from San Diego, missed out on Blaster, didn't know besides waiting in line, that you also mush have a ticket!

Box art seems to be slightly different to that posted initially, going by the photos on Yahoo! Japan. Seems that sellers there already have SDCC Blaster in hand!
Mach Wind
Well,
I'm going to SDCC for first time this week, and a newbie question. Is it cash only when you want to buy the TF's or they accept credit card?
Jarodimus
Wait for HasbroToyShop. It should be $49.99 there.
I'm gonna go with the Magic 8-Ball here: "Outlook not good."
crippler19
is Blaster going to be a TRU re-issue at some point with less tapes or whatever?
Sky St0rm
Thanks for the heads up. Hope it doesn't sell out by next week.

Looks like the Allspark got a scoop on getting in package pics of Mighty Mugs Prowl:
See the pics HERE.

The Pacific Rim usually gets SDCC exclusives in bulk though. They have in the past.

It's hard to say how much BBTS themselves has to buy each one for. We can assume they are paying more than the $49.99 price for most of them since there is no easy way to buy them for that price in bulk. They have to buy them all from other resellers who also want a profit.
And of course, this is so they can service the overseas customers who have virtually no other option to get their hands on these. BBTS doesn't really expect any US buyers to jump on it with that markup.

Even with tax…..
………that's a ridiculous mark-up. Sorry Joel, but that's just gouging.

that Blaster is cool, and i like that he comes with all those tapes, but i don't thikn i'll be getting this set… at least not yet… depends on if i get my bonus check in soon or not… but Botcon toys definitely take priority at the moment…
but Prowl will be mine… gotta make sure i get some money to my friend before he goes cuz i totally want him… and that means i need to start buying more Mighty Muggs since the only other one i have is Grimlock… maybe i'll finally pick up Jazz and Shockwave…

Less than an Hour on HTS although If i remember correctly a small amount of stock did come back online a few day after the initial stock sold out but Blaster's popularity is a good deal less than Soundwave's so its hard to predict how well this might sell.

How fast did Soundwave sell out last year?
Absolute
i picked up soundwave last year but this year blaster is an easy pass
his g1 mold is just too big and would be an eyesore for my collection, if he was the same size as music label soundwave, i'd be all over it.
plus i'd rather spend the money on TRU's Masterpiece Grimlock

i guess i have a challenge a-comin'. i will pin my eyelids open and drink Red Bull until either I can instantly snag Blaster offa the HTS site, or i encounter renal failure/exhaustion.
i want a Blaster, but i don't want to pay gonzo cash for it.
if i can get the SDCC one, i may keep it MISB because of how hard it was to get one.
as for someone stating that Blaster shouldn't be hard to get, scalpers aren't going to buy from BBTS for their supply- they are gonna scoop up the HTS stock and then charge 90+ for it.
so there is a chance that Blaster will sell out as fast as Soundwave.
Omnibus Prime
Probably.
But just imagine the hilarity that would ensue if it ended up being $59.99.

So what's the deal with the sparkly box for Blaster that is behind MM Prowl as seen here at Botcon? What's the difference between it and the Universe/Generations box that sat opposite them in the case?
Hollywood Hoist
It's too bad they didn't have the mold to also do Rewind
