Complete your set of seekers with this awesome set of exclusives from a retail store in Japan. One of our friends/suppliers in Japan was able to secure inventory of this item for us (at a mark-up of course), and we are happy to be able to offer you this cool set of figures. We received a ton of email about these items so be sure to get your preorders in early on these.

$139.99 for both.

I just checked the Latest Preorders page, and these were not listed.

Thanks!

That is about the same price as most of the other places I have seen the pre-orders for this pair pop up. No matter where you go, it's about the same! Hopefully this guy I enjoy dealing with will get them as well, since I have a discount code for his store! :grin:

Hehe.. Sorry!

I guess that's not too bad of a price since it's for both figures

No it's not. I've only seen it cheaper from one other person and he's done taking pre-orders. I was expecting $160 from BBTS.

nice! Preordered.

Now I can breathe easy

I spotted this an hour ago on bbts and preorderd them

I may sell off the Skywarp since I have one allready

the price for the pair isn't bad, I must say. Glad I got mine already though. I really just want tc and not warp. But having said that, I feel sorry for poor warp.

Hmmm, dunno about this price - Fan2Fan has them $90 a pair plus say $30 shipping from Japanland to anywhere in the world, that's $120 to your door - Trumped again BBTS.

Yeah, I pre-ordered these a few hours ago as well, why the hell not right

Still, even at $120 for the pair to my door, the Botcon "exclusive" set I got last year is still cheaper per figure.

I'm glad that I can now display these two in both modes

Still a decent price to collecting both hasbro figures, from a trustworthy site like BBTS?? I ordered a set as soon as I heard this. For those that missed the Target exclusive, or Botcon 07, and have complained constantly since then: here is your chance. They don't ship till September, that means preorder now, save till August when it'll actually be charged (just prior to shipping) and your there, holding a figure that you've sought out for so long. Miss this and you've nobody to cry to but us poor saps who will have to filter through the message boards.

Yeah, I guess it's worth paying an extra $20 or whatever for the peace of mind that BBTS will take care of everything and not rip you off.

Am i allowed to say "WTF" instead of "great" ?

It's US$140 for a couple of toys. I don't need them that bad. I'd rather buy a masterpiece starscream and paint it myself.

by **Ultra Markus** » Mon May 26, 2008 12:18 am

well if the japs are releasing thundercracker there might be a slim chance that hasbro will release it too in the future so maybe i will wait

Classics and Henkei, giving the fandom nothing but absoloute headaches.

When Skywarp was released with Magnus I know a lot of people sold Magnus off because they didn't want just another white Prime repaint but they kept Skywarp.

Now people are scrambling to reacquire Magnus to go with his new armour that's getting produced while people are looking to offload Skywarp because they might have to get him with Thundercracker.

Has the fandom ever seen anything as crazy as this? :lol:

It's a free country man, go for it - post the results though, cuz I like teh lulz

The truth is, no one needs this ****, we just want it - Sometimes bad enough to switch off our brains and hand over our wallets, sometimes not.

This is one of the few times I'll willingly get reamed for an "exclusive" figure, but I needs my Seekers

You do realize that Hasbro already released these as exclusives. That is what all the fuss is about. Also please refrain from using the word "Japs".

The rest of us have been calling them "elevens" for some time now. Seriously though, I suppose it's like calling Americans Yanks, or some such. There's probably a word like that for just about every people of every country.

I got mine through a proxy-buy service that was recomended on the boards.

Should be $110 to my door. That saved me enough that I ordered Henkei Screamer for the full set of takara seekers.

It seems $110 is about as good a deal as I can get, but since I've never used these guys before my fingers are crossed.

In retrospect, I should have broken down and bought the Botcon set when I had the chance. But, live, learn, and then pay out the @$$ later :grin:
