But will these be properly revealed before the cut-off date for paying customers to be able to order them?

Oh I know that but I would imagine the point of doing in-hand videos of the produced toys is for marketing purposes: to make folk want to order them with their Botcon registration, surely?

I don't think they've ever announced he add on exclusives before the shows before now have they?
We've got the previous Botcon toys threads linked so it's easy to check, there's a jump list in the first post of this thread.

Never all of them officially.
One or two here and there tend to be more or less offficially comfirmed and plenty more leaked.

Nah, we've known it was Skydive for a while We know 4 of the deluxes: Brawl, Rook, Breakdown & Skydive on Predicus Does Air Raid as Terrorsaur count as a fifth? He's a remould of Skydive Pinwig guessed it when Ravage was announced Terrorsaur from an Aerialbot? Phil needs Terrorsaur. |

And I thought we thought he was going to be a legend... The Predacus boxart was what threw us off there, as his tiny little cameo on there is based on the CHUG strike plane mold, which we already knew had been retired. The closest to that was indeed the legend scale strike plane, plus this is a US Boxset that now otherwise seems to be Legend-free. |

There's Legends elsewhere in the souvenir toys Legends - Troop Builder at least one is tied to a familiar G1 character. really annoyingly, Golden Ticket attendees get an alternative version cast in different colours for the G1 based troop builder. So for the OCD in the fandom it means paying an extra $325 to upgrade. |

They could also do Waspinator from the same mode too - with being so much like TM Waspinator

Lazorbeak and Buzzsaw too.
I wouldn't be surprised, seeing as we saw Packrat last year, if it doesn't get a Fractyl repaint, which would in turn make he cost of doing the new head worthwhile.
See also: Tigatron from Ravage.

Pity this is so expensive. I'd really like this set, but not for the price.

I am feeling a/little sad that we only have 4 reveals left from fp, well 6 including the 7th secret figures in tfss 4 and 5.
So many toys like fractyl that now seem very unlikely to happen. Also cw turbomasters vs predators. No more animated. No/more actionmaster homages, well fewer good ones at least.

Last emails had 30% of stock remaining, well 30% of primus packages and 19% of iacon packages and without knowing how the stock is split between them its hard to have any idea how much hasnt sold, but safe to say its probably not as much as they wanted. Prices might not come down but they arent likely to go up either. |

Funpub may not be able to do exclusives anymore, but I'm sure whatever Hasbro has planned for the future of official TF conventions will include them, as they've been the biggest part of the draw stateside for so long now. |

Yes, but that's like, by default. You could equally say "Digital River has been a big part of the draw for Mattel's He-Man line", zing (they are the logistics company Mattel have employed to handle delivering the figures who just get constant complaints) |

We've not seen the Megatron yet, it just feels like we have at this point!  |

Remember this:
So at least one of the remaining four exclusives is a non CW toy!
