Damn, I collected half of the original, but still missing about 80$ worth of accesories - that box is awesome, I simply MUST get this release.

Must buy for me. Does anyone that's at Botcon have anymore info as to where and when?

I'm sure someone will get this info out of the folks on the panel tomorrow. If they don't, they're doing the fandom a disservice. lol

EDIT: OH EM GEE...THEY ARE COMPLETE! THEY COME WITH THE TARGETMASTER STANDS AND ALL OF THEIR ACCESSORIES! YES I'M SCREAMING BECAUSE IT'S AWESOME!

Look at the side of the box here: http://www.seibertron.com/events/fullsi ... allery_nav

$50.00? SO BOUGHT! YES!

This is what G1 commemorative means.......re-issue the guys themselves and not the monstrosities like Superion and Bruticus (saving grace is FP). Now the Seacons?! The Seacons?! There is a god!

Oh yeah, I'm all over that.

News Credits: 5 · Fri Jun 25, 2010 6:31 pm

Just sold my TFCC seacons and these will replace them.

Somehow i think I won in this situation

Fri Jun 25, 2010 6:32 pm

Monstructor re-release, Monstructor re-release, Monstructor re-release (crosses fingers even tighter) Monstructor re-release, Monstructor re-release, Monstructor re-release...

BTW, good to see Hasbro splashing the chrome paint around again!

Next stop, re-release the Classics line covered in neon chrome, c'mon, Transmetal Classics, it's mad enough to work...

Sure did!

I really hope this isn't a TRU exclusive, but i'm sure it will be. The TRU near me has NEVER had a commemorative set in. You have no idea how many people i've redirected to BBTS, RK, TA from there. I NEED this to be Wal-Mart exclusive. Or I suppose I could handle a Target exclusive.

He looks pretty sweet but I miss the nice box art.

Good news for those that don't have it... but I like God Neptune's colors better. Oh choices... choices.

My only problem with God Neptune is that if I remember correctly that set doesn't use the... Wasn't it the Nautilator mold? Anyway, it omits one of the "scout-sized" figures, and only has the other four, as I remember. If they were to include the Nautilator mold with the space pirates, I'd be just as happy with God Neptune as with Piranacon. I just don't see that happening...

God Neptune had thin, brittle feeling plastic. This looks to be far sturdier. I love the color scheme on God Neptune, but it always felt like it was going break, to me.

Pass.

....or I could just buy this and repaint it into God Neptune colors. I think that's a better idea.

I'll just scan that then and enlarge it to cover the window front of the box

Any mention of when this set is coming out?? I'm assuming this fall sometime.

I saw these in person today as well and they do look that damn good.. Most of the new figures on display all had "coming soon" or TBA on their little card. Not many of them had release dates

I'd just as soon have G1 Piranacon over God Neptune as well. Don't really care as long as it's the complete set.

Oh, I wouldn't mind the God Neptune color scheme, on sturdier figures, but I like the Piranicon color scheme. I don't know why, I really don't, but I do like it.

Oh, and the set is fully complete. The stands are shown on the side of the packaging, and the individual figures are shown with their weapons, and the combined form in the box shows the combiner parts.

Just so it's clear what I meant; I was talking about all 6 individual figures. While they've clearly all been present the last two times I know this has been released (by which i mean this forthcoming time and the TFCC repaint), but that hasn't always been the case. Whichever character is the "weakest link" of the team in in it's G1 story - Nautilator I think - is prone to get left out from what I've read.

Understood. However, if you look at the packaging in the link I posted earlier, you can see all six Seacons on the side. And all of them on the back in other pictures.

This set is 100% the same as the original in terms of number of combiner pieces, weapons, stands, and figures.
