If it's a bag with that printed on the other side, then it's better than the free Dark of the Moon bag from TRU a few years ago.

It will have an image on the other side. Regina one had Assassins Creed. If this one has Prime I'll be shocked.

Fan Expo is on the record saying that Transformers is too small time for them.

OP updated with autograph and photo op prices...

*sigh*

Prices and appearances still subject to change.

So it seems Hasbro will be bringing SDCC exclusives again, they've listed the Kre-O Class of 84 set but didn't say for how much.

[MULTIPLEX]

Might be a good place to get MP Prowl then?? Also, wonder if they have SDCC Jabba's Throne Room. I just picked it up. But maybe its cheaper there.

Sorry these Autograph and Photo-Op prices have gone insane.

I'm all about meeting guests and getting autographs, it's probably my favorite part of conventions. I totally understand the reasons behind why celebs charge.

But now that professional "Photo Ops" have come along, it's just ruined everything. It's hard to even know if a celeb will even take photos at their booth any more or if you'll just be pointed towards the Photo Op booth/sign/ticket.

I do prefer a simple snap shot at their table, but it would be crummy if you waited in line for a long period of time, when you *really* wanted a photo with them, only to be told that you must purchase the official con "Photo Op"

The high prices, combined with the large crowd is enough for me to stay away this year. I'd only be able to go Saturday for the whole day and knowing I would have to spend my day waiting in lines is enough to keep me away this year.

Shame too, there's several guests that I would have REALLY liked to met this year.

[Deception]

really want to go again this year, but i might have to pass dued to work...blah!!!!

[Robimus]

Wow, last year Adam West was charging $50 iirc at a show in Winnipeg that had a $15 admission

$40 in 2008. Now $80.

I guess if they can get it, they can get it.

[Beechy]

Everyone should steal his pizza as compensation yelling "THIS IS FOR THE NOID!!!"

Actually in some cases they are a lot better than they have been. I remember last time Elisa Wood was at fanexpo (2006?) an autograph was $400. The same year Kevin Sorbo was asking $150 and James Marsters was $400.

At least Bruce Campbell is still $50.

My wife an I are looking forward to seeing the Patrick Steward and William Shatner on Sunday.
