Do people NOT like Piranacon/the Seacons?
by GuyIncognito » Thu Feb 09, 2012 11:12 am
I see that BBTS is discounting the Piranacon reissue AGAIN. Seems like they're having trouble getting rid of them. So what's the deal? If you don't already have this set, why would you NOT buy it for $35? This is one of my favorite pieces in my collection! Am I the only one that loves this set?

I think the colours are ugly, the individual bot modes look crappy, the combined form looks silly, it has loads of problems and oh it's G1 and I don't like G1 toys anymore.

I think there were some QC issues, that might have turned some people away.
I bought it when it first came out too, but I never opened it. $35 dollars for this guy is a steal though, you can afford to buy it just to customize at least.

I love them. I bought this set the day it came out. A lot of people complained about some of the color changes that were made from the G1 version.

I probably would have but I was able to get the TFCC version so I didn't need this. But damn, that is a great price for this guy!

Yep, some QC issues. My first one was missing two pieces (one of Seawing's guns and the metal pin that holds Nautilator's tail on) and the one I replaced it with had two left fists on Skalor. That said, this is a great price and BBTS are good about returns, so it's more than worth it.

I bought this set when it was first released. I wasn't big on the Seacons but they grew on me after I actually received it. I do wish i would have waited since they are marked down now, but I have no complaints about the toys.

I love them. I still don't have them yet, but they change the price back to normal all the time I collect money to get it. And it's not funny to have to pay more than 100$ shipped and taxes to get it.
Also, I'm not surprised it isn't cleared yet - according to the shipping calculator, they have 3347 pieces of it!
