Have to say, these two were massive, solid "wins" for the club. Excellent choices. One pairs with G2 Ramjet (and the Botcon set). The other is a deep, deep, obscure, reference of one of the earliest G1 Transformers that was never released. Very pleased with these two. >:oP

Good thing his mold is worn out. How many "club exclusives" has this mold raked out of the fandom at $45 a pop? It is funny to me that they can take this mold, color it in any combination of colors, slap some half assed name on it, sell it to people at a premium, and people will actually spend their hard earned cash in it.

Silliness...........

Gotta agree. If this is the last use of the mould it's a good way to go out.

It costs more per toy to make a handful than hundreds of thousands. Exclusives are always going to cost more. It's just comes with the territory of getting rare, limited edition stuff.

That is an excellent example of what I am talking about.

Redwing. Gee...I wonder why they named it that?

I want both, but I'm more excited about Nacelle. Such a fun character. :lol:

G2 Starscream, however... That spawn of a glitch! :evil:

I mostly want it because the colors look good on the mold.

Nope, Red Wing is totally new. That one-shot was Nacelle, in an all blue generic Seeker body. For TFSS however, they took inspiration from the blue Thrust prototype, and in fiction it's explained he upgraded his body. Simple.

That would be logical if this mold had not paid for itself after Starscreams release.

A batch of 5000 toys from an existing mold is not going to cost much. I would estimate that one of these can be created from beginning to end for about $2 each. The rest is so you can pay for the CEO's multimillion dollar bonus, the enormous dividends, and the profit demands of a worldwide company in general.

My point is that these people can slap any silly name on these "exclusives" , charge 3-5x more than retail, and people buy it. I don't get it. They are not even characters that are relevant to anything whatsoever, except their highway robbery of the masses. I like Transformers as much as the next guy, but that is a complete waste of money.

It's what they're based on what gets people, not necessarily the characterisation.

Nacelle was relevant to the TCC story he appeared in. Twas one of its scene-stealing characters, even.

Different strokes for different folks. Some people would argue paying a lot for ANY toy .... or just buying toys period after a certain age is a waste of money.

Yeah, I think the real point is the club is trying hard to put out some obscure, cool stuff...plus some fan-favorite toys that Hasbro dropped the ball on. (Usually for some legit reason... a new series is coming out soon, or because they can't have too many items on the shelf the same color or vehicle.)

I think this 3.0 round has some really thoughtful ideas in it, and I'm excited about 'em.

So don't harsh my buzz, man!

so if the classics seeker mold is (insert furmanism here)

what mold will they use now? :-?

thy could possibly use the Energon Starscream mold it has potential it had only been used for said character, sky-quake , lyzack , leozack , and that is about it to my knowledge has yet to be used as obscure g1 characters / original g1 seekers , that would be inserted in timelines issues .... :-?

Agreed on buying a Red Wing. Hopefully they can swing that for a store exclusive or something next year. Though I hope and pray it wouldn't be $100. :-B
