We’ve already covered Hasbro’s SDCC exclusives for the Star Wars Black Series, Marvel Legends and Marvel Universe, but they’ve got so much more.
Included in this update are their exclusives for G.I. Joe, Transformers, Magic the Gathering, and more. Read on!
To start us off, check out the G.I. JOE Danger at the Docks set. This will debut at San Diego Comic-Con, but will subsequently be available at retail, exclusively at Toys R Us.
Transformers will have two exclusive action figure sets at SDCC:

Fans of ROM the Space Knight all riled up a couple years back when Hasbro filed for a trademark for the ROM name. This year, ROM finally makes his triumphant return to toy shelves… at least as a Mighty Mugg.

Last but not least, Hasbro returns with another Magic: The Gathering exclusive card set for Planeswalkers.
…but all of this sold out in minutes because Hasbro would rather sell all of their products to a few online scalpers quickly instead of setting limits so their fans can actually get something.
Sorry to sound so “butthurt”, but it’s been years of putting up with this BS. I refuse to get excited about crap that Hasbro will not make available to everyone. They basically said “Screw you” to fans for years so I’m finally saying it back to them.
