OMFG. At last there's a convention set that I'd actually want. Both Dirge and Thrust look great. Shame I'll never afford them.

God damn you hasbro damn you to hell!! I always wanted thrust and now i cant even get a classic version. I hate hasbro even more now. We should all boycot these figures so hasbro will have to release them in stores to make the money back.

This is actually the only time I've ever wanted a figure that was a repaint of a seeker mold, and only because it's Thrust, and he hasn't been around much lately. But I still don't want him enough to pay what people will eventually be asking for him.

Still, this set so far is pretty underwhelming. It's all just predictable repaints that I wouldn't even pick up if they were mass-produced and sold at retail.

Thank my lucky stars I won't be tempted to get any of these.

Why make these exclusives? Hasbro would make a mint from these seekers. Such a shame.

Um, no they wouldn't. Flooding the market with 6 jets that are virtually identical (parents don't pay that much attention to remolding like we do) would not have been a good idea.

The only other option for a general release would have been to wait after the movie about a year, and even then, most kids would be used to the way the movie figures look and probably wouldn't want any of the Classics.

So in a way, Hasbro was screwed if they released these figures to the public.

Much better to have them as exclusives, than not at all.
