Tomorrow at some indeterminate time<\/a>, Hasbro's Comic-Con exclusives will go up for sale on their site. And honestly, it's a little hard to care.<\/p>\n

Let's look at some of the more interesting offerings:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bumblebee's not bad, but the \"gold\" paint just looks tacky. Maybe if they'd stuck with plain yellow, but did increased apps - realistic apps on every little light and fixture, etc. - then he'd have been worth it. The Japan-exclusive G1 cassette bots are tempting, but nah, I can wait for the car until the movie toys come out.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

All right, a cool new Marvel Comics character and her badass droid companions! This will be a must-hav... oh wait, they're 3¾\" figures, not Black Series<\/i>. Never mind.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hey, it's the same Red Skull that will sooon be available at retail, but with fewer accessories and a light-up box! Totally worth the big money!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was absolutely down for the Throne of the Primes, until I realized it only comes with four Prime Masters, not the full set. Oh yeah, those will go real<\/b> well with the three Hasbro has actually managed to get into stores.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I guess it's just the ML<\/i> Defenders set for me, then. Hey, at least I'm saving some money this year...<\/p>\n

<i>And now, some more OAFEry:<\/i><\/H5>
