Tommy CLooks like there are 4 promos. 1 is in the new NSU. Where are the other 3 available ?

Scifi Cards1, 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.

Tommy CBesides 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.

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™
who carries these.

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

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

Scifi CardsLooks 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.
