So every year San Diego Comic Convention has a list of exclusive toys that sell out mad quickly and unexpectedly, some as expected, and some just surprisingly linger around.
As expected, the Green Lantern Hal Jornan Figures were hot, but who knew that at a production run of 3000 of the green and 1500 of the yellow, blue, orange, and red Lanterns he’d be extremely hard to get? Each day you stood in line at the Graphitti Designs booth for lottery for a chance to purchase the color of the day. Preview Night was Green, Thursday was Yellow, Friday blue, Saturday orange, and Sunday red. They sold out immediately everyday so far since Preview Night! Well, I guess this was the first time ever they did this head sculp for the green lantern, ever.

Nike is coming out with a Quickstrike line of shoes for the second release of Transformers, Revenge of the Fallen movie. They come in three colorways. Zoom FP for Bumblebee comes in yellow, the Sharkalaid for Soundwave is in a blue, and the Zoom Flight Club for Megatron is in a silver colorway to match the deceptacon robot. The transparent shroud on the Megatron version of the Zoom Flight Club is probably the most interesting part of the Transformer II Pack line of shoes from Nike.

We’ve been hearing about them quite a bit since last year, but they are finally for sale in the US! The vibrant red Alternity A-01 Nissan GT-R - Convoy has been sold out in most online places and the japanese distributors. Ultimate Silver looks like it’s still available with Japanese vendors as well as the US. Alternity A-02 Nissan Fairlady Z Megatron in silver and blue should be out in May, and the super black version of the Alternity A-01 Nissan GT-R - Convoy should be hitting the states in June! They retail for $49.99-$59.99 online. That’s probably all old news to most of the die-hard transformers fans, so I just thought I’d gather some images from the web and pile them into here to admire in one place.

Featuring sturdy die-cast and plastic construction, the Cyclone arrives in its trademark Toynami “book style” packaging. Certificate of Authenticity is also included with each figure.
