From some Friendly Dealer's Wave upcoming newsletter:

quote:
There are 3 distinct packages and each has it’s own exclusive content. These options are:

Standard Hobby Boxes. These 24 pack boxes have the base set, holofoil parallel, and insert sets. You’ll also find 1 of 4 metal cards at 1 per box and randomly inserted sketch and artist autos.

Blaster Boxes: These 5 pack boxes have 9 “old school” chipboard base cards only available in blasters and 1 holofoil card per pack. Plus you get 1 of 9 different oversized cards in every box. You need blasters if you want the throwback parallel set.

Hanger Boxes: These 2 pack boxes have 1 of 5 Special Edition Foil Cards in every box. That’s the only way to get the foil chase.

What we know about the set:

110 Card Base Set
110 Card Holofoil Parallel Set
110 Card “Old School” Set
6 Creator Art: Bob Budinsky Cards
6 Creator Art: Simon Furman Cards
40 1/1 Art Cards randomly inserted throughout the set
Signed Cards by Bob Budinsky and Simon Furman Randomly Inserted
Sketch Cards Randomly Inserted

Configuration:
Hobby: 10 Cards Per Pack / 24 Packs Per Box / 12 Boxes Per Case
Blasters: 10 Cards Per Pack / 5 Packs Per Box / 24 Boxes Per Case
Hangers: 10 Cards Per Pack / 2 Packs Per Box / 12 Boxes Per Case





I'm going to try to get better about posting new set info here. There is a very sad lack of new set information here lately.

1, 3, and 4 have been reported as in NSU in the current thread.

So, my guess is that all 4 were mixed into the print run.

Only a guess. I have not seen my dealer order yet.

Besides the cards at the San Diego Comic Con and in NSU, I also saw one card limited to 100 which was apparently exclusive through pre-ordering a special version of the 40th Anniversary edition of the Transformers comic book.

"Deluxe Ultra Premium" sounds expensive.

No, the "regular" Transformers set has not been released yet. It keeps getting moved back, with a target date of mid-October now. This is for hobby boxes, blaster boxes, and a 2 pack hanger box.

The Ultra-Premium set is completely different.

It will be in the format of many other Dynamite sets like Dawn, Vampirella, Red Sonja, and others. It is a "case" of 12 mini boxes. Each mini box holds 1 pack. Each pack will have 2 sketch cards and 1 autograph, along with base and insert cards.

If it's like other Ultra-Premium sets, you'll need a sealed "case" of 12 to make the base set and all the chase. And you get 24 sketches that way.

Dynamite's price on the "case" is over $1100.00, but you can get them cheaper if you find a Friendly Dealer™ Wave who carries these.

This just launched. If you pledged in the first 48 hours there was an exclusive oversized card you could obtain:

$100 for a mini box with 2 sketches and lots of other cards. . .

I don't think it's a bad price, but I'm also not ordering any.

Looks like this one is set to release in about 2 weeks, at least Hobby and Hanger boxes.

Deluxe and Blasters are said to be about 2 weeks behind the first wave.
