Aw, poo. HLJ has changed the name of D-04 to Ramjet. Remind me never to order from them. :sad:

Oh, don't be like that. HLJ are great, and pre-orders can be cancelled.
Even BBTS made a mistake on D-04.

That's right, I've already cancelled my "Thrust-Ramjet" pre-order as I have Ramjet from the Classics line already. That's the good thing about their pre-orders, you don't pay until they send it and they don't charge any fee due to the cancellation. That way we can guarantee the item but if we get a better deal or don't want it anymore for some reason, we just cancel it

Don't feel alone on that one, I want them both as well! And I bet my Classics Ramjet (no I don't

he he) that they're comming, they have to! There's no reason for them not to be reissued, especially Thrust. Come on Takara Tomy... we love you! :grin:

Let's not blame HLJ.

Eventually; Hasbro / Takara WILL give us what we want. And that's a Classics Thrust.

I knew I needed to take a wait and see approach to this.

Yer right about not blaming... But I'd be willing to bet we're gonna need to break some go-nads in order to get our Classics Thrust.

They already have. He was exclusive to Botcon. So tell me, why would they release the same figure that was previously exclusive twice?

They could do it with cheaper versions considering the paint less detailed like the ones on retail, since this exclusive thing for these 3 seeker figures was rather ridiculous. Exclusives should not be for "common" figures from the cartoon which everyone wants to buy, but instead cool repaints, etc... like this year's set. And those who have it and don't want others to have it as well are being really envious. They were badly chosen as exclusives, so in order to make it a bit fair for those who got it I say they can do cheaper versions and everyone will be happy. The exclusives seem very detailed, but the retail classics weren't. Why not go on that direction and release the damn toys?...

This is only my thoughts, because I don't care that much as I prefer the G1s reissued on the Encore series, which I believe are going to be announced sometime soon.

Y'know, I have BotCon Thrust and, frankly, I can't say he's terribly detailed. He's mostly flat colours. Not a huge amount of paint apps. What made him "exclusive" were the resculpted wings. I'm pretty certain FunPub owns the wings too. If they were to release a henkei Thrust, it'd likely have to have the regular wings.

From all the pics I've seen so far, the 3 exclusives seemed more detailed than the 3 from retail to me. About the wings they could make another mold slightly different, but even if it was the same it wouldn't be bad at all.
