Either them or entertainment earth.
But the Generations Select Megatron and Red Swoop showed up om BBTS.
Then sure, all those places too. The two first mentionned though will have the best prices.
Exactly, as bbts and the like will probably get them from one of the first two then sell at a mark up. It's no different from how places sell Tomy Takara Mall exclusive items
You know what, I am not sure. Because those places sell it at the same mark up they sell regular releases at and we know they get those directly from Hasbro. So its maybe just like the May Mayhem toys which are online only but some retailers will sell them at a markup because they can.
True, I forgot about the May mayhem toys, guess the mark up is down to the retailers greed.

Here's a bit of funny trivia about this red Seeker.
In the current Japanese dub of Transformers: Cyberverse, the Decepticon Seeker Thrust has instead been credited by the name "Red Wing". Oops.

Hard pass as I'm already going be
$90 $110 in on Siege Seekers.
I will say that is one sharp ass deco though and would jump if it happens to sell poorly and hits the e-discount bins
(which is where all the select figures have fallen on my radar so far).
EDIT: oops, forgot about Smokescreen - that dude's on lock down

There are only 4 confirmed so far IIRC--- Starscream & Thundercracker in the mainline, Skywarp (presumably an Amazon Exclusive), and Redwing in Selects. Am I missing any?

Might be interested in this guy just to have a Red Wing, but depends on the price. I don't much care if all the seekers on my shelf are the same mold, so might as well let red wing be this one.

That's all of them... so far. Once a conehead is released, expect the other two right on his heels.
Just how many groups of Seekers do we have already in-fiction? IIRC we have:
- Original Trio
- Coneheads
- Rainmakers
- Decepticon Air Force (the purple ones)
And the stand-alone:
- Sunstorm
- Nacelle
- Red Wing
- Slipstream

Sunstorm, Nacelle, Bitstream, and Hotlink are the Welcoming Committee.

Is there a Transformers equivalent to Pandora's Box? Because the amount of Seeker redecos, not counting the randomly-colored crowd fillers, seems to be endless now

Red Wing continues to be the best looking version of that mold, the red is so juicy! I'm hoping pre-orders go up soon

Seeing him beside Thundercracker made me realize I'm an idiot for not realizing he had completely different color placement.

So, what are the chances that the Selects line is how we'll be recieving the Coneheads any time there's a compatible mold? It'd be pretty cool if we get Tetrajet Coneheads but I doubt the transformation scheme for the current Tetrajet is compatible enough to retool the legs and wings correctly

I'm personally thinking Coneheads might be in the remaining 2 sections of the WFC trilogy. I think they are unique enough for their own mold and it would work out to get the 84 and then 85 seekers in 2 different back to back lines

My main question is what stand is that in the pictures? It looks great for Decepticons.
Lovely pictures btw, and if this guy retails for $30, that would be awesome. If only they did that with Skywarp...

I like it, it makes me think that he's the Decepticon version of tracks, totally in love with himself (more so then screamer), the slick paint job enforces it

But it fits his "devil may care" attitude so much better than the blank face Starscream got.
If anything, both Starscream and Red Wing should have the smirking face while Thundercracker should have gotten the blank face.

I was interested. I don't have this character or mold.
But after seeing these pics, the tetrajet mode looks about as aerodynamic as my car keys. It's a jet with a giant block of legs tacked on underneath it.
Easy pass.

I've considered swapping the heads. So far it looks to be more trouble than it's worth but maybe someone will reverse engineer and share how they do it when the time comes.

Man, he looks great, I love the sharp color scheme on him and have no problem thinking of him as a reincarnation of armada 'scream

Do you need to be aerodynamic in space?
