Hate to burst your bubble Sunstar but there won't be a Classics Thrust and Dirge made. Hasbro already said that won't happen so that the value of the exclusives aren't tarnished. You'll just have to kitbash ones or pay through the nose on ebay.

If Takara desides to repaint Ramjet I cant see why its not posible for Dirge.As long as they use a different paint job then the Bot-con I dont think Hasbro would object much.

Here's hoping for a pretty grey Astrotrain!

got 2 starscreams and a megatron. If they take off that white stripe on bumblebee i might get him too! I have a feeling these are going to go very quickly

I'm all for a silver Megatron and a grey Astrotrain. Everything else I'm pretty happy with.

I've tried to be helpful by saying things like that too.

Now it's just open flame, because no one apparently believes words that come straight from Hasbro anyway.

Yup. Just about every day someone, usually the same couple of people have to bring up the 2007 Botcon set.

I very rarely ever bring this up. I just though if they are doing some stuff, that they could get away with doing it for Japan.

Damb, I thought they were just going to rerelease them. But if the paint schemes are totally different, I may have to get the Takara versions to keep my Classics collection complete.

That is okay Sunstar, we all know I continually bring it up!! that's my job, be upfront, let ya'll know when i'm pissed about something.. and Botcon 2007 for me will live in infamy!! But lets get a few things straight...

1. I like the Botcon figures from previous releases, and think the majority of them are wonderful..

2. Botcon 2007 was the only time I got upset, because of the characters produced and sold, which I firmly believe should have ended up in a mass release..

3. If Takara Tomy does them, I will forever be a TakTom fan!! I will then finally buy classics for my collection..and ease up on the Botcon 07 issue..

4. I have no hatred for those who went or support Botcon..

5. those who jump on others who say one little bad thing about funpub and Botcon toys and exclusives or scalping, they will always defend their purchase, so if the Takara Tomy classics run steps on their toes, Oh well.. I don't think we should be as gentle about it as they were to us who complained about the exclusives.. so only time will tell if we will get them..

6. I like to bitch about Botcon..

just kidding with that last one...

double post

so how long you think these will last? I think the starscreams will be the first to get sold out

I don't think it's impossible for Takara to release the other seekers. As long as they're not a 100% match of the BotCon set (I.E. repainted a different shade, Kanji symbols, etc) I think they'd be well within their rights to release those figures. Besides, we've seen that Japan reissues all six seekers in the past...there's nothing to stop them from making their own if they wanted to.

Will they? I have no idea, so don't bank anything on my words here.

Can they? Yes, with certain changes, but yes.

So keep your fingers crossed.

There's nothing wrong with having a little bit of hope, about something.
