When it comes to San Diego Comic-Con exclusives, the cornerstones of the con have consistently been Hasbro and Mattel. With license to manufacture toys that are consistently at the top of the pop culture want list, both booths have been the craziest for many of Comic-Con’s years. To address the frenzied crowds, Mattel introduced a pre-sale system a few years ago.

Presale Info:

Early Access for Subscribers: 8AM PT June 16 – 8AM PT June 17, 2016

All Access: 9AM PT June 17 – 11:59PM PT June 26, 2016

Just like in previous years, all presale orders must be picked up at the convention (no shipping) – though products will also be available for purchase directly at the convention.

Limits:

3: The following exclusives have a limit during the presale of 3, meaning you can purchase a maximum of three per unit of the following exclusives: Hot Wheels Star Trek Spock, Wonder Woman Invisible Jet, Hot Wheels Marvel Daredevil, Kubros TMNT, Hot Wheels Suicide Squad Harley Quinn, Wonder Woman Barbie, Thomas & Friends/DC Super Friends MINIS, She-Ra, ThunderCats,

6: The following exclusives have a limit during the presale of 6, meaning you can purchase a maximum of six per unit of the following exclusives: Suicide Squad The Joker and Panda, Star Trek Barbie, HALO Spartan Helioskrill, Disney Pixar Car Hudson Hornet, WWE Shockmaster, Minecraft, Ghostbusters Lights & Sound Set

As of press time, the following exclusives are not part of the early access sale (so we don’t have limits info): Ever After High Cedar Wood, DC Super Hero Girls Katana, Monster High Ghostbusters Frankie Stein, Monster High Robecca Steam & Hexiciah Steam. We expect these items to only be available in the All Access sale.

Here is the link to the All Access sale.

Now, let’s take a look at what Mattel has planned for 2016:

[UPDATE July 12]

Hopefully you already bought your She-Ra and Thundercats Mattel exclusives in the pre-sale, because Mattel just announced that they won’t be available for purchase at their booth during the con. Instead, they’ll be part of Mattel’s upcoming SDCC Online Sale (which is typically the After Sale, after the con). If you already pre-ordered either set, fear not! You’ll still be picking them up in San Diego.

[UPDATE June 28]

Remember that awesome Star Wars Hot Wheels exclusive that Mattel teased was still to be announced? Well, Yahoo Movies has just unveiled the set, and it’s a recreation of the final confrontation in A New Hope. There are four die-cast “carships”, and a push of the button illuminates the vehicles and unleashes sound and light effects replicating laser blasts. It will retail for $50, and only be available at Mattel’s San Diego Comic-Con booth.

From Yahoo Movies, here’s a look:

[UPDATE June 16]

HOT WHEELS DC HARLEY QUINN SUICIDE SQUAD
SRP: $25
She’s everyone’s favorite psychotic villain. When Harley Quinn joins the Suicide Squad, you learn to expect the unexpected. Celebrate the Suicide Squad film with this first edition Hot Wheels Harley Quinn character car featuring a full die-cast body and chassis and Real Riders® wheels. Housed in a special package that suspends the captured car in an Arkham Asylum cell, it sports tattoos that read “Daddy’s Lil Monster” and “Property of Joker” – and you know that can’t be good.

HOT WHEELS® MARVEL DAREDEVIL VS. PUNISHER
SRP: $30
Hell’s Kitchen. It’s New York City’s boiling pot for trouble – but it’s Daredevil’s beat. When The Punisher comes in with his “destroy ’em all” approach, things get even hotter. This San Diego Comic-Con set commemorates that heroic clash with two premium edition Hot Wheels® character cars: Daredevil and The Punisher. Sealed in a protective acrylic case, the cars feature Real Riders® wheels and are perched on top of an NYC building with a 3D city skyline backdrop. With the press of a button, the building’s window lights up, flashing from red to white, to reveal a glimpse of Daredevil’s battle with The Punisher inside. The packaging art was created by comic book illustrator Alex Maleev!

From their blog, here’s a closer look at the awesome packaging:

HOT WHEELS® STAR TREK® BUICK RIVIERA VEHICLE
SRP: $20
When the Star Trek series first blasted off into the stratosphere, the soon-to-be-famous actor who made Mr. Spock one of TV’s best known sci-fi characters rewarded himself by becoming the proud owner of a stellar ’64 Buick Riviera. So proud, in fact, that he posed for an iconic photo while dressed in full Starfleet uniform with his car on the back lot of the TV studio. Hot Wheels® proudly pays tribute to the 50th Anniversary of Star Trek with this 3D diorama featuring a beautiful Hot Wheels® edition of the Riviera in a full die-cast body and chassis, with Real Riders® wheels and a Mr. Spock figurine. It’s a highly logical way to honor the milestone and the actor.
