I wouldn't be suprised to see the SDCC exclusive be something resolute.

Resolute Stalker?
That'd be cool. But usually the figs seems to be Cobras. Maybe Resolute Zartan?

I'd expect two SDCC exclusives, once again, this year. 2008 had the Cobra Commander figure, plus the Snake-Eyes/Timber "Combat Heroes". So maybe a Resolute figure, in addition to a "New Movie Line Figure".
They did produce way too many figures in 2008. You can find the Cobra Commanders around the Internets for about 15-30 bucks. As opposed to the 2007 Destro, which had a very limited run. I'd speculate that the 2009 figures will have a run somewhere in the middle. The "sold out" thing is questionable, though. The preview night scalpers theory is suspicious, as well. I went to SDCC in both 2007 and 2008..and in both years I went to the Hasbro booth at soon as the hall opened on Friday morning. At that time, only one full day had gone by, but Hasbro was already "sold out" of several figures. I lucked out in 2008, though. I hopped in line and was several rows deep when I found out about the ticket thing. But some random guy walked by and gave me his ticket. Also, a LOT of people didn't bother with the tickets or the line, but were giving people with tickets (and in line) a few bucks extra to pick up something for them. For instance, I bought a Mighty Muggs Iron Man and some translucent Star Wars figure for two separate guys standing outside the line. As soon as I got out, I phoned them, we met up and swapped. Worked well-- they didn't have to wait and I made a few bucks to cover my lunch.

i really enjoyed the hasbro toyshop leftovers last year. i think it was that thread that made me finally decide to stop lurking and sign onto the 'tank. there's no way i'm making it out to san diego, so i hope they produce enough figs to have some for sale at hts.

they will. I may be wrong but I heard they keep a set amount for online retail after the show. though more then likely I'm confusing them with another company.

I can imagine an exclusive Mighty Muggs figure. Hell, maybe they'll make a variant like they did the last two years with PDD and Black/Blue CC such as Tomax or Xamot Mighty Muggs (It would totally suck if they didn't make them in equal numbers though).
