Indeed, it is.

i am stunned.  i dont know what to say. 

bizarre...... 

cool?
weird?
this is what makes it exclusive? 

if it is then to utilize it you have to take it out of the box haha.  my favorite part of the gi joe sdcc figures was the old school artwork on the cards. 

this is just strange.  i assume its "awesome" to some?  sounds cool but out of nowhere.  again stunned.  did i mention stunned ?

I’m with you all the way on this one.

It feels quasi-gimmicky.

I’m all for carded figures, blister packaging, and retro/vintage graphics.

Hope the exclusive Magic card set price comes back down to under $100.

So just one clarification on the $110 Rey/Kylo set. This is in the Hasbro 'Centerpiece' line. That line of products from Hasbro are less toys and as the name suggests more of a centerpiece. The bases usually light up etc. Other Centerpiece sets have ranged in the $40-$50 range but you also get 2 figures here and it is a convention exclusive. Just wanted to give a bit of clarity fwiw

A Centerpiece is an interesting exclusive pick, since the Kylo, Luke and Vader entries in that line are "shelfwarming" at places like HTS, HTS eBay and any TRU that remains open.

never really thought about it like that since i dont collect black series except for even thinking about it for sdcc exclusives.  the thrawn is AWESOME.  is it considered a centerpiece ?  it's not right ?

and its exclusive.  i am not a big fan of early release but coming later.

i didn't buy it.  but i thought a nice sw exclusive was that death star packaged vintage collection.  that seems like a nice choice imo.

and BRING BACK the old school carded gi joe figures with variant.  loved those.

What else might Hasbro have to offer for their SDCC Star Wars items? Yakface prediction:

Thrawn is not, Thrawn from last year was just a Black Series figure that they added extra items for to make it more of a convention exclusive as opposed to the retail version

'Centerpiece' is the name of the line so if a product is in the line it would be classified that way. Black Series is a way to kind of distinguish a product from the 3.75'' figures. The Black Series figures are 6'' and more articulated and therefore a slightly more collectible line. But Black Series is also applied to their Roleplay (Force FX Lightsabers, Helmets) which is where the 'Centerpiece' designation within the Black Series fits in.

The equivalent for Marvel is the Marvel Legends line which is the more collectible 6'' line. I know not something you asked but now you know!  ;D

Going to Toy Fairs and following these things seems to have rubbed off on me!

No mention on who will have the Defenders set. Not sure it will be Hasbro. I want one.

There may be SDCC GI Joe item news from the Hasbro panel... (bold mine)

This year, G.I. JoeCon will wrap up after more than two decades of bringing fans together. Originally, G.I. JoeCon was supposed to end in 2016, as Hasbro is looking at combining all of the shows (G.I. JoeCon and BotCon), and all of their properties into one annual show called HasCon, which took place for its first year in September 2017 in Rhode Island. You can check out the coverage of that show HERE, as well as some toy coverage.

HasCon will not take place in 2018, and will instead resume in 2019. As this is the last G.I. JoeCon, we expect some big announcements during the Hasbro panel that Derryl Depriest will (hopefully) be announcing on Saturday. We will have an exclusive video interview with Derryl on Friday late afternoon and will do our best to go over everything, including G.I. Joe, HasCon, and everything else we can think of with him. If you have questions of your very own, leave them in our comments below before Friday 2pm EST.

G.I. JoeCon will take place this week/weekend in Chattanooga, TN on June 21st-24th.

Really let down at that Defenders set and the rest of their offerings. If anything, that DD could have been the Man in Black version. Might be the first year I skip Hasbro which is kind of a relief in a way haha.

Do we think Hasbro has any more Star Wars-related reveals to come, or is this it?
