So if you couldn't make SDCC and didn't get to grab them off of Hasbro Toy Shop, this is your chance!
I've requested info on pricing and availability, and will append that info to this post once it comes in.
*edit 1 - I've been informed that they have 500 on hand for this. I don't know the breakdown between how many of each variant (or if it is just one or the other)*
*edit 2 - Here's a list of items they will have on hand:
Transformers Autobot Blaster
GI Joe 3.75” Sgt Slaughter Figure
Marvel 3.75” Thor Figure
Marvel 3.75” Captain America Figure
Marvel Master Works Galactus
Marvel Iron Man Mighty Muggs
Marvel 3.75” Spider-man Figure
Star Wars Expanded Universe 2 Pack Darth Maul and Owen Lars
Star Wars Comic 2 Pack Camie and Fixer (from Celebration)
Star Wars 2 Pack 4-Lom and Zuckuss*
*edit3 - Hasbro has confirmed that there were be BOTH versions available, however the quantity split (how many of each one) is unknown.*

Crap! I still need the harder to find Sgt. Slaughter.
Unless Hasbro is lying, they are sold out. ie: Web site out of stock.

Sold out in regards to what HTS had available. If these were set aside pre-SDCC for this purpose, then that's not really a lie.

Did they say they would have Sgt. Slaughters? As they have tons of the Marvel, Transformers and Star Wars exclusives from SDCC to sell.
Yes. They specifically mentioned they will have 500 of the Sarge.

Another site has reported that Sarge will be available Spring 2011 at retail - just not as single carded figures.

MAY be available. Not WILL.
I've posted the actual letter from Hasbro about this here:

Thanks

Mike I think it might be a worthwhile investment to have a presence there. Although I'm sure their pricing is insane.
Unfortunately Galactus was sold out when I went by today, but Sgt. Slaugther wasn't. However I think I went a little overboard:

Good grief. They had that much left on a Sunday? I thought they would have been sold out on Friday. Too bad I had to go to a 5 year old birthday party this weekend.
Man, I'm jealous.
When I left around 5pm the only item sold out was Galactus. Everything else was still available. The saddest part was that I saw into the storeroom and it was stacked 7-8 feet high with boxes of Star Wars exclusives. I guess they weren't moving too well.

How much was Sarge selling for at the Expo?
$20 but you had to get a usa one to be eligible to buy the triple y one.

Not sure where you heard that but I bought a Triple T Srage on Friday without buying a USA Sarge.

Strange, I heard that on another board.
