The Official Convention Discussion Thread!

OK so they are sold out of the hydrofoil as of now. They are taking names for more so it sounds like they did not bring them all to the show.

To make it more of a ripoff (in some eyes) when you buy it, they give you a boxed Tiger Ray from last year and a bag with the new Cobra stickers and the new blue deck. So that is really recycling a past exclusive.

Also the Iron Mech is boxed and not bagged like a lot of vehicle exclusives.

There looks to be cool pictures coming tomorrow from the sales floor. Stuff is leaking out now - like a big semi tractor Joe mobile command center. The name of it escapes my mind at the moment. I am so glad they saved a big piece for when we will have to pay shipping and handling on it.

Someone please, please, please get some pics of these. Do they have any of the single-carded cobra troopers or officers on display?

Is the HISS an original mold HISS, a HISS II, or a new-style HISS, and what color is it, pray tell. I'd love it if it were a black HISS II or a black HISS I with red canopy and dirty treads.

I am pleased the Crimson Shadow Guard are indeed black Crimson Guards (kind of an oxymoron, I guess) instead of a bad amalgamation of other action figures like those things that come with the Imperial Procession set.

I am satisfied with the Night Watch thing. Soldiers as well as officers would have been good, but I am NOT going to complain when they do a blue V1-style COBRA Soldier or Officer.

Expect a ton of pics to show up tomorrow of all the Hasbro items once the show floor opens

WHy does it seem that they are going downhill quality wise along with Hasbro...and if anyone can me a blue deck and stickers, I have an extra Hydrofoil from last year...I can recycle THAT..and whats this "Sold Out" crap...is it because they only brought so many for the pre-registered attendees and want the public to have more of a chance than in the years before?? Also, does the Hydrofoil they give you have the orange deck from last year??
