Very nice.

I'd love to see the seacons. They are my favorite g1 combinder.

Also, who the heck is setting up that display...looks like ass.

[Breakdown]

The Limited Edition Seacons are SO purchased, as I totally regret not picking up the TFCC edition. :(

[Robimus]

Seacons, Animated Ironhide and Hot Rod and even the Legends multi packs look cool.

Love that Legends Ravage. I'd get him in a second.:)

[pulsedragon20]

Seacons!!!!

[jackwacko]

Seacons O_O .. New Masterpiece Grimlock packaging is really.. cut for cost. Also why are half the display pieces knocked down? Sidways is totally screen accurate now.

[Ozrein]

I'm really hoping those Seacons get a release up here and can be found relatively easily. I've been waiting for that set for a long long time.

And also crossing my fingers for a release of the TFA bots.

Seacons will probably come eventually.. so will Rodimus Minor.. eventually.. We saw Arcee... Eventually =.=

Seacons are highly doubtful, as apparently they're to be a San Diego Comic Con exclusive.

WHUT??!?!?!?!... I thought SDCC was Blaster this year.. That brings me great pain... Oh well, at least the new packaging looks cool ...

[Pascal]

Dang, too late for pictures... what's the point?

[crimbot]

I guess they took everything down because the info got leaked too early? Can people at least describe what was shown?

I hope you're a fan of Scott Hall, cause "Chiko, you Wan it? You GAT it!"


glass shelf casing for TF Hall of Fame
-levels seemed tribute many toys past & present of that character
-levels/tributes for Prime, Meg, Bumblebee, Starscream

Other tribute displays for:
-Peter Cullen- with his picture, toys of G1 Prime & Ironhide, plus his voice toys of Movie Prime & Movie Prime helmet
-another tribute (some Takara/Tomy designer?) with his picture plus toys he designed
-Bob Budiansky level with G1 comics & Bob's picture.
-Another toy desinger(?) with picture & G1 S1 toys Prime, Grimlock, Prowl, Sideswipe

glass shelf casing with new product features
-Showed Rodimus Minor & Ironhide (annimated) with their packaging. Both packaged in car mode
-MANY power core combiners, with their packaging behind them

-Seacons with a Huge box package with them in it, sold as a set. The box has a G1 diagonal corner banner in pink/bright purple. Back of box really nice picture of assembled Pirranacon with pics of component members

Several multi-packs, usually with a big (dlx, voy) toy and a bunch of smaller toys (basic, legend?). As usual the in-package is shown behind the figures. Mostly movie-repaints
-1 seemed to be 3 movie Arcees (red, purple, blue) with the big silver & black car. Sideways? His legs seem thin, but the outside toy had fallen down!
-Yellow w/Orange Repaint of Brawl with a basic white/blue car who looks boxy, repainted as an ambulance?
-Movie Bumblebee with a basic orange helicopor that looks like same shape as Armada minicon jolt
-repaint of move mini-Constructicon merger pack, repainted into G1 green!
-tri-pack (legends?) of Bumblebee, Ravage, & some orange/red bulldozer looking thing

-MP Grimlock package. He Looks alot like the original G1 Grimlock, but in a collector's package in robot mode. Much of the front & sides is window plastic so Grimlock can be seen

[Team Jetfire]

Edit: Jlvatron beat me too it.

Hmm...lets see:
1. A decent Power core set up. Nothing really new.
2. Rodimus Minor
3. A badly transformed Iron Hide
4. A bunch of seacons loose and in packaging.
5. some random 3 packs containing some odd re-paints.

They also has a small display of Optimus, Megatron, Bummblebee and Starscream through the years.

[Stapler]

I really, really hope that the seacon set will make its way up here. I've always wanted the whole team ever since I was a kid. Come on, Hasbro, don't shatter my dreams by making this some American exclusive.

[Ozrein]

The Seacons are supposed to be an exclusive of some sort but there was no store listed specifically. However I'm 99.9% certain they are NOT an SDCC exclusive. They were shown with a $49.99 price on their info card.

I'll expand a little on JLvatron's post:

-Seacons with a Huge box package with them in it (packaged combined as Piranacon), sold as a set. The box has a G1 diagonal corner banner in pink/bright purple. Back of box really nice picture of assembled Pirranacon with pics of component members

Several multi-packs, usually with a big (dlx, voy) toy and a bunch of smaller toys (basic, legend?). As usual the in-package is shown behind the figures. Mostly movie-repaints
-1 seemed to be 3 movie Arcees (red, purple, blue) with the big silver & black car. Sideways? (yes Sideways with battle damage, similar to his one and only scene in ROTF) His legs seem thin, but the outside toy had fallen down!
-Yellow w/Orange Repaint of Brawl with a basic white/blue car who looks boxy, repainted as an ambulance? (this is legends Jolt with a white/blue colourscheme, not an ambulance)
-Movie Bumblebee with a basic orange helicopor that looks like same shape as Armada minicon jolt (the helicopter is a Legends Grindor but in a horrible yellow/orange)
-repaint of move mini-Constructicon merger pack, repainted into G1 green!
-tri-pack (legends?) of Bumblebee, Ravage, & some orange/red bulldozer looking thing (these are all repaints of their Deluxe figures, some are saying the red/orange Rampage looks more screen accurate)

Cool, thanks for the info guys! I really want Piranacon now!

EDIT: Just saw the pics. Piranacon is great, PCC stuff is cool, ROTF redecos are hit and miss. I like that Sideways repaint, but Sideswipe should have been part of the pack too. Kudos for the 3 Legends triplets. I like the redeco they did for the Bumblebee that was originally packaged with Soundwave, gone are the ugly red paint apps. Cannon Bumblebee looks better too, I might have to change the one I have for that one. Rampage and Brawl are meh.

[Benzo]

want new animated figs now!!

[chans formers]

the seacons box screams "walmart" exclusive to me.
