I think if they come out with Thundercracker (which is pretty obvious if they say more seeekers to come) I'll buy him and sell my Henkei one so I dont have one seeker with chrome blasters (cant make him feel like the red-headed child).

This Thrust is different because it is not sharing the Botcon mold. Hope that helps clear things up for some folks.

First the Henkei seeker controversy, now this? Let's simmer down boys, the exclusives will stay as exclusives. It doesn't diminish crap, it's a 'Thrust' in it's own right, as Botcon Thrust is to the character.
And seriously, there aren't too many fans 'complaining' about the value of the Botcon seeker sets that they buy.. because you never get to see that **** on Ebay. It's just damn scarce. Yes I'm a tad disappointed that I won't ever be able to own the Botcon set.. I've come to accept that. Will the owners of the 2007 Botcon set be pissed about this figure? No. The set will continue to peak in price because it's been an exclusive since the start.
And in all honesty the seekers aren't even the best part of that set, it's Dreadwind and Bug Bite.

I think the issue is not so much what thier figures will be worth once the retail version of thrust cones out. it is more how much they had to pay for thier version, when compaired to how much getting an equivlent figure is going to cost the rest of us.
I would if i had purshased a botcon version or a Genkei verson, i would be upset over how much i paid, for a figure i was told would not me made available at north american retail. only to find out i could have saved a $100.00 (or more) when they suddenly released a retail version that is so simular to mine, that the difference is not even note worthy.

It's not only harms the exclusive that was thrust, but harms future exclusives.
Should we be worried they'll do this in the future? Release an exclusive and it has huge demand, so they release it to the mass market?
I don't have thrust or collect seekers really, except just starscream. I see the issue with it though.
With like, the PS3 you could have bought it for 600 back when it came out or 300 now, but with sony, it was pretty obvious this would happen, it's been their business practice. So, what's Hasbro's going to be now?
