The Club has updated their web site design and the first announcement to appear is that the Universe Seacons are going to be available as a club exclusive!
Visit the new site here:
http://www.transformersclub.com/
And on a personal note, I would like to thank all the fellow fans who have wanted this set as much as I have and refused to let these great figures die. My friends in the fandom know how much I've been wanting this set since day one, and it is thanks to their collective efforts and the devoted staff of the Collector's Club and Hasbro, that the long fight for this set's release is finally over.
More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

In short, join the club and pay a fee for the chance to buy something you could probably get on ebay for around the same price.
Too bad too, the title here realy got me excited until the article crushed me.

This is what they posted:
July 2007 - What’s coming up for 2007? We are working hard to bring you the set everyone has been asking for….THE SEACONS! More details to come
But at BotCon I asked the guy and he started laughing, we took that as a yes then...so this on their website plus that sounds pretty solid!

did folks really think something that was discontinued would actually see a mainstream release?
The club is around to actually get these things out to the collectors and people just piss and moan about it. Honestly I think its a great idea and glad to see they were able to get Hasbro to allow them to release them.

Now the fun part is actually trying to get this set! Club won't ship to me, and I can't become a member. oh, and I don't have the trillion dollars this set will no doubt cost me, if I can afford one, if I can get one shipped to me, if I can get a set before they sell out.
Yay.

PM me. If you want me to order it when it comes out I can do that. I also go to Canada enough where I can ship it locally to you.

Join the club and quit your belly aching.
If you really wanted them, you'd find the extra cash to make sure you got them.

i recently bought the entire complete set of seacons from bigbadtoystore for $150+, in pretty good condition. got lucky... Piranhacon looks great next to my japanese reissue Predaking. gotta love those combiners! cost alot, but they're very nice.
i'm not quite sure about the TF club, don't know if it's worth it. thinkin about it for the media. all the club exclusives are repaints! oh a new head... yay? hasbro is really making a killing. as a diehard eternal fan, i want to see classic characters with NEW MOLDS!!!!! i am sick of seeing repaints.
BTW i like the new Arcee alot, definitely needs to be in TF movie #2. coolest Arcee yet.

Woohoo!! The only thing that would be better than this is to have them as G1 reissues....well, that & if snaptrap didn't have half yellow/half black guns....but that would be easily fixed by a couple of touches of paint.
....I hope they don't cost much......

So in other words, what would have cost about 40$ or so at walmart for the universe line , will now wind up costing fans probably 180$ or more LOL that toy club is scam i think just a way for hasbro to charge crazy prices lol

I'm not in the US or Canada so it'll be $90 US for international membership - and that on top on the high price the Seacons will go for(and shipping) is just too much to reasonably pay, even for a desireable item like this.
So no I won't stop belly aching, you'll just have to bite me.

Or the Club may just be a way of fans getting a set of figures that would have otherwise been cancelled.
I still love these figures, they were my first as a child - and I love the new paint job. It would be cool if they would change the white on Seawing and Nautilator to that greyish-blue on the other figures, they would mesh much much better.
Still, I'm not complaining. The set is gorgeous enough as-is (and I've had 3 years to warm up to those yellow hands!).

How do they suck? They found a way to bring us these figures after Walmart bailed on them as an exclusive and no other retailer wanted to sell them as an exclusive (according to Hasbro at several BotCons). So finally, we'll get these figures at last. Kudos to Hasbro for not letting these figures die.
And congrats, Skowl. I know you've been dying to get your hands on these things for a very, very long time.

They looks pretty neat, but when are they coming out and how much will they be? I will join if I can get them under $60.
