Yea you know all that "1 per customer" crap is all a lie. They are selling to dealers by the case. Don't let them lie to you.
Understand something too, all the prototypes you see will NOT look like that when it hits mass production. You know it, just look at the stuff coming out (quslity-wise) that you saw at the JOE-Con and past references. They look amazing now, but when it hits stores you'll be like "what the...?"

Well im not at SDCC but my friend i sent money with is there. On preview night he witnessed dealers and others with cases. He was as in hasbro line then room closed and they kicked him out =(
Today i called him at night. He was able to get 2 Black suit Cobra commanders for me (only because his brother was with him, 1 per person) but they were out of blues. He saw people with cases of blue =( Also got me a Combat heroes set. I think a Giganta too. Poor guy missed some panels to get me stuff. The Cobra Commanders are all individually packaged in the clam shells. Hasbro was so anal about it that they only allowed attendees and not exhibitor badges to get in line first on Thursday and Friday. However, they did sell out of Blue suited Cobra Commanders by Thursday evening. The only cases that dealers had were Transformers, Hulk Legends, and perhaps Marvel Legends Savage Lands. Those lines had higher limits . . . I've had to retype this post five times. Must get sleep. Later. Gaelinic

I don't think it is a matter of left over foil. there are alot of people who work at Hasbro figuring out production needs months in advance, who probably ordered enough foil to produce the run of figures using it. nobody is at Hasbro right now with a roll of foil asking anyone if they need their lunch wrapped and trying to figure out how to use it up without wasting it.

That sucks that they ran out of the blue CC so fast. I figured they would be prepared this year. I'm lucky enough to get two of the black CC. I guess I will have to swap heads with my 2nd one.

So I got back from the con, alot of fun, alot of drama. HASBRO dropped the ball on letting people get there shit and I almost had to beat the shit out of a guy who cut in front of me. Im still planning on going next year though.

I am having sensory overload right now. Scrap-Iron looks really good!!! Yesss!!!!!!!!!! Um, Airborne and the Eel are pretty much perfect to me. I don't think Hasbro could have done a better job with those 2. Zartan looks better.....but something still looks off. MainFrame and the new BeachHead both look awesome as well!! Lift-Ticket also looks really damn good! Only small gripe I have so far is about Leatherneck....why isn't he wearing green camo? Is this the Mission Brazil version?

Hey, I do not know if it is improper of me to mention TNI, but they have more images of w11, close-ups.
The good: Pilot Scarlett with helmet off and red hair in a pony tail; Data Frame looks better close up; Lift Ticket looks great!; and Trakker's helmet has a see through eye cover like Torpedo's goggles!; and EEls with his helmet on!! The bad: Beachheadsss looks like he has Ace face, or hyperthyroid syndrome; I think Alpine is Jackie Chiles from Seinfeld. |

That's what everyone seems to be saying. I don't have a problem with that, what pisses me off though is him having Gung Ho's head, first Cutter now Leatherneck, great.

I agree mostly. Zartan looks so sweet. Lift-Ticket looks fat lol. Airborne's head seems alil too big, but overall looks great. Leatherneck just looks bad, and that sucks cuz he is one of my favorites. BTW I love the new sig |
