SDCC Starscream =  $80!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You mean the price will be $160 to $200 for us... On Evilbay

Well if we Torontonians are lucky again this year, we should be able to get some at only slightly higher prices at FanExpo.  Also, here's hoping with the high dollar that they can come in at or near the US price.

I hope so... But we have to fight TF fans on this one too.  We will see what Hasbro gives TF fans for there SDCC exclusive.

Oh, and sorry but the Zombie Viper looks dumb.
The Data Viper sounded like a good idea, but after seeing the pics, it just looks ridiculous.

I'm on the fence with the Data-Viper.  I hope that Dome head is removeable and has a normal head underneath.  Are those Missle launchers attached to his head?  I hope the satellite is movable...
But the Drone that comes with it will be amazing!

Yeah I learned my lesson from last year.  I will be attending on Friday if they are making the SDCC exclusives available this year.  Sgt. Slaughter was available on Sunday, but Galactus was long gone.  So I expect Starscream to disappear fast if he is available.

Also, from the early pics, it looks like the retail on the Skystriker is suggested at $29.99.  So hopefully we will see the same on the low end, up to $50 on the high end.

Come on Hal, get us those prices!!!  :lol:

Yeah it looks like missile launchers.  I am not really moved one way or the other about his colouring, but the Drone looks awful to me in green.  I would have preferred a Cobra blue.

Also, does anyone else get a bit of a Jahdoon? vibe from the Data Viper?  (those were the Rhino-like mercs from Doctor Who)

With the Renegades figures, All look amazing!  I even like what they did with Scarlett! But what is the fascination with Ripcord?  He is dead in the show? (Sorry if you did not watch the show yet :-X) Why did they not make Roadblock instead?  

I know more figs are coming as they did not make the Baroness, Dr. Mindbender and Destro, and etc.

Ok, new better pics confirm the suggested $29.99 on the Skystriker.  So that is great news on pricing.

Very Close... I was guessing more rejected Battle Droids from Star Wars.

As for vehicles, well once again if you are a vehicle lover like me you are disappointed.  The Cycle Armor and Hiss Scout don't have a home, and they are hoping for an online retailer to try and take them. 

Looks like we will be buying Joes from Online Retailers from now on if this keeps happening.

I really like what I see from a lot of them, especially the classic remakes like Lifeline, Law and Order, Sci-fi, Techno-Viper, Air-tight and a decent Kwinn.  The renegades figures Ill prob be passing on though they do look good, some look like good custom fodder for me, I hope the head sculpt for Scarlett turns out ok in this regard.  And I still dont like the Orange for the Hazard viper..Would rather them have used the Toxo Viper colors, though maybe they did this on purpose incase they actually do a faithful remake of the classic.
