Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

I got the Exc. on sale for I think around $50 or $60, and while I love it and am happy to have it, the quality is not great.

Just saw this on BBTS, doesn't seem to be available anywhere else, but doesn't say it's an exclusive either...

Neat, oddly tempted.Big Bad Toy Store wrote:This amazing exclusive comes packaged in an awesome collector gift box, includes collector cards, includes all 6 figures needed to form Piranacon, 5 black display stands for the 5 smaller figures, and individual weapons for each figure. This is the first time Piranacon has ever been reissued with the G1 color scheme.

o.supreme wrote:Also I guess BBTS claim that this is the first time all 6 Seacons will be reissued in their "original G1 colors" is either an attempt to correct the 2010 version, or is blatant false advertising...

I think they handicapped (no pun intended), that difficulty scale for kids, not adults. I mean when I was 12 and this originally came out, Snaptrap was pretty much the only *new* thing, since we had already figured out how scramble combiners worked. But for a kids, say 6-8 years old, that had never seen this before, it may provide a moderate challenge... I don't know... just random thoughts.

1 - Bumblebee's head hinge
2 - Outback's arms
3 - Hook's legs
4 - Starscream's landing gear
My hook stood the test of time well in my youth, but 1, 2 and 4 definitely happened to me as a kid, and I wasn't very rough with them either.

Sorry, news would be if there was proof that these were being distributed to stores and we have no proof of that at the moment. Newsing somethign like this would just confuse people and possibly spread misinformation.
Minor correction. The originl head wasn't painted black, but molded black. For whatever reason, the reissue had its head changed from being on the toy's black plastic sprue to being on its teal plastic sprue.fenrir72 wrote:They forgot to paint Turtler/Snaptrap face black (arrgh)
