They will actually have several exclusives to choose from, so let's take a look and run down what you can get.
The first exclusive is the coolest and most deluxe. Remember the famous "Early Bird" set from Kenner's Star Wars line back in 1977? Well, Super 7 is going full Kenner with an "Early Bird" package for their Alien line!
So, what is-- or was-- the "Early Bird" package? Back in 1977, when Star Wars was first released, Kenner didn't have the figures ready for that year's holiday season. So, instead of missing out on all that holiday cash, they created an "Early Bird" cardboard package that parents could buy their kids that contained a promissory certificate that you'd have your Star Wars figures (Princess Leia, Chewbacca, Luke Skywalker and R2-D2) mailed to you as soon as they were made available.
Super 7's "Early Bird" package will cost you $100 at Comic-Con ($125 if you live outside the US). This payment will cover the cost of the five figures in Series 1, as well as shipping to your home. (A damn good deal considering that the figures will retail for $20 each-- and that's before shipping!)
You will also get a full "Early Bird" package-- just like the original-- which will contain a "display stage", a "Space Club" Membership Card, Alien Photos and Stickers.
You will receive all of this at Comic-Con. Then, sometime between Oct 1st and Dec 31st, you will receive, in the mail, all five of the Alien figures on their blister card packaging, which will include: The "Big Chap" Alien, Ripley, Ash, Dallas and Kane in Nostromo Space Suit.
EARLY BIRD SET
The second exclusive will be a faux 1979 "production sample" set meant to represent something that Kenner would have made at the time to present to store owners as examples of the product (a la Toy Fair).
The set will include unpainted versions of the "Big Chap" Alien and Kane in Space Suit. It will also include a "note" to the Kenner Sales Staff informing them of the the cancellation of the line. It will sell for $40 at the 'Con.

The third exclusive is a freebie-- as long as you sign up for the Super 7 mailing list. It's this fantastic Alien-styled figure stand for your Alien figures! I need five of these!!
ALIEN FIGURE STAND
The final exclusive is another freebie that you can get for just stopping by the Super 7 booth! It's an extremely limited Alien Figures Catalog done in the classic style of the Kenner catalogs of yore!
ALIEN CATALOG
All awesome stuff!! I'll definitely be spending some time at the Super 7 booth this year! An I really hope that they have some of their Shogun Warriors (Jumbo Machinder) styled Transformers on display!!
