New Images of BotCon 2007 Dirge and Thrust

Posted by Hotrod Mon Jun 11, 2007 1:41 pm

We reported in March that the exclusive BotCon set would include Dirge and Thrust. Since that time we have seen only a few images of the figures. Now there are more photos of the two figures thanks to ebay seller paranooid, who has posted an auction for both figures. Here are the images from the auction:

*weeps* They're both so awesome. I would love to have Thrust, but he'll probably always remain out of my price range.

They're great figures, no doubt.

However, they're still not worth the price tag that BotCon's organizers are demanding.

I remember having *THE* quintessential bitchfest about these figures and being robbed of my chance to complete...yada yada yada...

I feel like an idiot now. Why?

1.) I can't change things, so no amount of bitching will fix it.

2.) The movie toys have arrived and I just don't give a damn about the rest of my collection anymore. (I will keep them, I'm not totally whacked in the head here.) I've no plans on selling any of my old ones, because they've all got a spot in my heart, they're just no longer as important as the movie figures.

Besides, some ballsy KO'er will most likely rip these suckers off.

Not to mention, only one being a repaint...that's a rip off, period.

I wish I could get these for $10 apeice like the rest of the Classics line...

I wish they made it to retail, but I understand that they'd have hit at a bad time with the movie toys, though I don't see why Hasbro couldn't have dropped them on their Web site as a collector's toy a-la G1 Astrotrain...

*bawling* WHY GOD?!?!? Every time I look at pics of them, I get sad. It's Hasbro's fault for doing this. I guess I'll just have to save up & get 'em off ebay......or eventually BBTS.........*bawling*

I'd pay for these in retail too...this was the ONLY Botcon set I even thought about getting and now I can't because they're all gone. How much do you suppose Joel is gonna sell the sets for? I suppose I could sacrifice part of my college tuition and go an extra semester...or rob a bank...
It finally happened. The Chicago Cubs won the World Series. Yes, I cried.

I thought botcons were only allowed to be repaints of older molds, surely Thrust counts as a new figure? Either way I feel cheated by hasbro.

OK we've been through this before. Yes these would have been great as a general release. We all wish that. But in no way is it a ripoff. You are paying the $280 for figures that are being made in extremely small numbers. They are also highly sought after. I understand that they are repaints, but they are still different because of that.

Saying that the price is a rip-off is like saying that paying several hundred dollars for a MISB G1 Optimus Prime for several hundred dollars is a rip-off because you can get the same figure loose for under one hundred.

Unfortunate for those that can't get it, yes. Rip-off, no.
