Okay, I know I initially said 'Cracker was a pass and 'Warp a maybe but I've put the preorder in for the pair. Not paying until September was the decider here as I'm not as flush as I could be at the moment and am about to take my seasonal break, so I'm looking at about a month without wages late June and early July. With the Magnus armour as well September is going to be a pricy month, guess I'll have to watch my spending at Auto Assembly this year

Hopefully we'll see a preorder for the Clear Convoy before too long, I'm still a definate for that sucker.

I'm guessing that question's rhetorical, correct?

Burn wrote:When Skywarp was released with Magnus I know a lot of people sold Magnus off because they didn't want just another white Prime repaint but they kept Skywarp.

I kept my Ultra Magnus figure. It's unlikely I'm going to be getting the armor, though.

Burn wrote:...While people are looking to offload Skywarp because they might have to get him with Thundercracker.

Actually, thanks to Sunstar, I'm only getting TC. I don't need to get the double set. And if I was, I'd probably sell off Classics Skywarp and keep the Henkei figure.

Ordered mine. Brian's gonna have a deed for one of my kidneys soon.

Yeah, I knew this was coming. Decent price. 70 bucks a figure.

Little higher than the Botcon set and not as exclusive but hey, you wanted it, you got it.

News Credits: 8 · by **Liege Evilmus** » Mon May 26, 2008 8:38 am

I happily placed my order, however I may have a lead on just scoring a ThunderCracker or two, so if that pans out...

Still, I greatful for the second chance.

by **Rat Convoy** » Mon May 26, 2008 9:37 am

*sigh*

I wouldn't buy TC at Botcon prices and I won't buy him and a toy I already have at these prices. $140 for two $10 toys is insane.

Guess we'll never see TC at a reasonable price, but I guess I can live with that with all the cool Animated and Universe stuff coming soon.

Well, so much for the OMZ!!! $200! IS DOOM! Predictions that people have had for pricing these guys...70 apiece is what I pay for Botcon Deluxes, I shan't complain about getting these for that. Now I just need a Henkai Starscream to complete the chromed seekers...

News Credits: 5 · by **zodconvoy** » Mon May 26, 2008 10:42 am

You know, not 24 hours before these were announced, I won a Botcon Thundercracker on eBay for $220+shipping. I take it all in stride because I think I'll never get the Henkei ones anyway. It gets here Saturday and the very next day, BBTS posts the preorders. Now the Botcon one isn't even on my shelf yet and I have a preorder for the Henkei versions of him & Skywarp. I think I may be hitting TF fatigue before Animated even hits the shelves in my area. I think I may need a vacation from Transformers... :-s

I would rather they were being sold seporately as I have Classics Skywarp already, but i'll preorder for now, so I'll be sure to get them regardless.

Then I just have to figure out if I'm going to sell a Skywarp off, and which one.

Thats what I'm gonna do if I have to get the 2 pack, just make some of that money back cause I know there is alot of clamoring just for SkyWarp.

Still, $140 for 2 is alot better than the $300BIN price for just ThunderCracker on Ebay.

I hope Thrust and Dirge are coming soon.

After that, just round off the MP line. Bring back Robot Masters with some coneheads, and let me fill in a couple gaps in my G1 line up, and then I'm done with The Seekers.

Awe Who am I kidding, from here on out like days gone by, if a line is gonna have 1 seeker, it should have them all(I'll even welcome Sunstorm)

News Credits: 9 · by **Editor** » Mon May 26, 2008 12:25 pm

We'll still need a Classics Sunstorm. Which i'm actully more interested in seeing that Henkai Thrust or Dirge.

The Question I'm wondering about is after the Classics/Universe Acid Storm is released, Are we going to start seeing G1, Galaxy Force, Armada and other classic Seekers re-released with Acid Storm's paint scheme.

We already have seven of them including Sunstorm... and MORE if you count all the various versions of G1 Starscream. Somewhere a line has to be drawn. I could live with one more though. :lol:

We have seen a classics Sunstorm?

News Credits: 2 · by **Tekka** » Mon May 26, 2008 3:44 pm

Not yet. I was talking about the G1 version.

In Classics it's seven including Acid Storm instead of Sunstorm.

But if we get another Sunstorm, then I'm going to want another blue one to finish off the rainmakers. Then I'll want a lilac coloured one to buy in triplicate.

It just won't end.

News Credits: 9 · by **Editor** » Mon May 26, 2008 4:17 pm

Don't forget we need a all grey Leader-1 Seeker. :-B

But if they do release Sunstorm, and after we get Acid Storm, A blue release would be a good idea lets just have something without "____storm" for it's name.

I would love to get more seekers... I love em.... How about we see a Sunstar release

Will only happen if released in the same wave as Sundowner

then we'll get an outcry, no more seekers with sun in the name

News Credits: 9 · by **Editor** » Mon May 26, 2008 5:00 pm

That's fine, 3 is a good number.

News Credits: 2 · by **Tekka** » Mon May 26, 2008 5:20 pm

Powerstorm... Rar.

Nah.

I was thinking of the new female Seeker in Animated, whatever name she gets should be the name of our last rainmaker.

News Credits: 8 · by **Liege Evilmus** » Mon May 26, 2008 8:45 pm

Then another outcry, "no more ...Storm named Seekers"

I always liked the nameless seekers in More Than Meets The Eye, and a couple would be nice...

But before I'd start revisiting molds with Acid Storms color scheme, I say let the character do something to vest himself instead of just giving us another name to chase.

Even though I think his story sucks, at least SunStorm had a decent run in the comics.

News Credits: 9 · by **Sowndwave76** » Mon May 26, 2008 8:59 pm

I really don't feel like I need to get that Skywarp, I already have 2 of the Hasbro versions.
But I wouldn't mind having 2 Thundercracker's.

So does everyone think that eventually we'll see a chance like this to get Thrust and Dirge??

News Credits: 38 · by **Sunstar** » Mon May 26, 2008 10:19 pm

I could possibly see dirge as he would be the easiest of the two to make. Thrust could be interesting. I'd be all over either one. Perhaps we'll be lucky

I'd be happy if Takara just repainted the Ramjet mold in Dirge & Thrust schemes.

Whatever, just no more exclusives.

Possible, and I'm sure if they did that one of the third party companies that make extras (guns, energon cubes, et al) would come out with replacement G1 type wings for them.
