Fan Expo Transformers?
 
Hey everyone,

I'm considering going to Fan Expo for figure hunting but was wondering what the hasbro stall usually has? Is it worth going for figures or should I just skip it? Thanks!

Hasbro isn’t going to have a booth at fan expo this year. Ebgames is having all of hasbros exclusives there.

Its worth going if you want that ghostbusters MP10. Thats all you're sure to find though.

Ouch, think any of the wave 2 and 3 stuff might be there?

The reason people go is for exclusives, thats all you can be sure to see. Anyways, you cant find wave 2 at retail?

I can - I'm just always curious about the distribution at conventions. Thanks for letting me know though.

If you look around the con you'll probably find some dealers with wave 2 or 3 in their booths for above retail prices.

Not likely but if they do they mark up would be high I would imagine

The only exclusive figures are the MP Ghostbusters Prime, EBgames is selling it for $199.99, and a Botbots SDCC set (didn't check the price),and you can apply your Edge membership discount. You go straight to the cashier to get the MP Prime.

I also saw Ectotron for sale, some Siege Hounds, SS Voyagers and deluxes (old waves, Ironhide and the decepticon Helicopter).

They also have the TF model kits.

Re: Fan Expo Transformers?
 
There are a few other vendors selling old TF items, but quite expensive, like $30 for a generations deluxe, I also saw CMDstore, Siege deluxes were $40-$50 each, they did have Refractor and the new deluxe waves. Combiner wars devastator was $500, Hasbro version I believe.

Other than (Siege Spinister possibly?) that sucks for me, oh well

I got a Ghost Busters Prime, too!

BotBots set is $34.99 I believe.

I went back to EB before I left and picked up a wave 3 Siege Blackjack and Hyperdrive Micromasters set (it was hidding behind some Retro Pop BB + Dinocassettes sets.

I went also, nothing special except for Ghostbusters Prime.

Noticeably less corporate setups this year, no Mattel, Space Channel, Warner Brothers, expecting more for the 25th anniversary of FanExpo.

Spent $39 on a large deluxe pizza with 4 sodas from Pizza Pizza.

Kids had fun, that’s all that matters.

LoL, I thought FanExpo was next weekend :crying: Did you see any other cool figures?

They moved up FanExpo one week earlier this year.

With this announcement it would have been nice for Hasbro to have had a real booth of their own at FanExpo.

They could have at least brought Omega Supreme to show off. Maybe even Unicron.

748236 according to my receipt.

I went over to their booth three times yesterday & once today... even at the busiest time yesterday not many were sold from what I have seen & they have a one per customer limit (well, you can go back again & again I supposed). There were more Ironman Infinity Gauntlets and PS One Classics being sold lol. I supposed only TF fans and some scalpers care and it is not exactly cheap.

Re: Fan Expo Transformers?
 
Oh... the BlueFin booth has a bunch of Furai TF model kits and the Flame Toys Shattered Glass Drift. The price on Drift is actually pretty nice compared to all other sources and if it is your thing go take a look! (and you can built a mini Y Wing for free... that is a $8 or $9 bucks value).

One of the CmdStore booths has lowered the prices on Siege stuffs... Brunt is now $30, they also slashed $10 off on Reflektorothers and Six Gun is cheaper than regular retail, among others.

And the EB stuffs have some upcoming movie SS stuffs on display namely Mixmaster, Shockwave and (space fighter) Megatron.

I hear Hasbro couldn't have Unicron at FanExpo cause even they couldn't afford to get it shipped up here :rofl:

Does anyone know if they still have the ghostbusters MP-10? I’m considering going tomorrow, but don’t want to pay the $50 admission only to find out they’re sold out.

Re: Fan Expo Transformers?

I went first thing in the morning today, fortunately I managed to get the last MP GB Prime, but wasn't lucky enough to get the Fett or Sith trooper, oh well still glad I went.

There were plenty on Thursday and not many takers... I am glad I took a day off!
