This is a awesome deal, and I am grateful for it!
Good luck trying to find these on clearance guys.

I 100% agree on this. The price is affordable, in my opinion, for an MP new version of the seekers. I've been waiting for this one for a while now. Can't wait to get it. I'll bet it will sell quick too. Seems the more complaints that come with new figs, the quicker it goes.....
And thanks to Lost Cybertronian for for the comparison pic.....Now I can breathe a sigh of relief........

I'm not complaining on the price, esp. since Rodimus was $70. The one that pissed me off was the SDCC excl. FOC Bruticus at $100. If it were $75 I might have jumped, but 100? Horse*&%$. It's probably a moot point since the Hasbro line was the worst I've ever seen in 7 yrs. I knew people who waited 3+ hrs. for just the ticket to get in the line, who didn't get in. By the time people got in, days later, everything was sold out. All bitterness in this post justified? Absolutely.

It's your choice to get your figures graded - even at a premium. Just as I passed on the BS "premium" price of the SDCC FOC Bruticus.
Lastly -please show me the TRU where MP Grimlock and or Rodimus went on clearance. What did they cost? Need to see that to believe it. The other big box retailers clearance much more frequently than TRU - so the frustration/bitterness is toward TRU for not following suit. Example: SW EPIII figures being clearanced finally after 2 yrs.

Hasbro still did that "ticket" thing for their exclusives at SDCC? In 2007 at the Con, they set it up to where you had to find their people standing in various places with a box of tickets. You had to have one to get the exclusives, but they would not tell you where they would be standing.........just give a "round about" time in which they would start handing them out. It was chaotic. I got mine by picking up some off the floor.......it was like a piranha frenzy when someone all of the sudden yelled "get your Hasbro tickets here. I was able to grab a bunch and hand to those who weren't able to get any.....

The last I saw indicated Thundercracker was due out September-October with Prime to follow in November-December. If Thundercracker moved up will Prime do the same?

But something may be suspicious but yet confusing. If TC has no Coronation accessories, then why is he a redeco of the retooled SS (MP-11)?
