In Which We Unveil SDCC Exclusive Sgt. Slaughter, G.I. Joe Kre-O Set

That is awesome! This should shut up the naysayers who say Hasbro "can't do" another Slaughter figure for a couple years.
Now bring on 4" Marauders Sarge! And Mutt and Footloose to boot!
Much cooler to see the classic '80s themes brought back here as opposed to the Froot Loops repaints we're getting in the 4" exclusives.
Why is the YouTube video private?

SDCC Kre-O exclusive........
I wonder if TRU will have this available on-line?
If so, any guess on price?
Or any guesses on secondary/ebay prices if it isn't available at TRU?
The google cache of TTPM.com says it's an HTS exclusive, not TRU. I guess TRU's done with Kre-o after that mass clearance they went through.
Also, the icon under the text says it's $49.99.

^Thanks JJ, much appreciated.......
If it is available at HTS, I will do my best to snag this set.
I'm also hoping to snag the red Skystiker/green HISS tank set from HTS + the Desesrt Battle set from TRU after SDCC.
These exclusives + all the club/joe con stuff really puts a dent in my pocketbook.
This is quickly becoming a rich man's hobby. A working class father of 5 has a hard time putting the scratch together each year that is needed to buy all of this stuff.
Wow. I don't collect Kreon's but this is awesome!!!
I'm having horror flashbacks though: Someone mentioned Sgt Slaughter and Hasbrotoyshop.com in the same post.
Here's a larger sized pic of the package.
Man, the regular Joe fan that doesn't attend SDCC gets a bit of the stick eh?
How many people honestly sign up for SDCC and think, "I cannot WAIT to see what GI Joe products are going to be available!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!"?
It's good to see Joe getting a little more SDCC love this year.
It makes me wonder if there is still any possibility of a marauder color Sgt. Slaughter figure. I assume, with him being an actual person, that the rights are trickier and potentially held up with the WWE stuff. I have the SDCC wrestling gear one, but would love one that fits more with the BBTS set.
A guy can hope...
