So you had the seekers first and enjoyed them for over a year before Takara gave everyone else a chance to enjoy them ?

Ever checked the ebay prices on Dreadwind and Bugbite ? I paid $300 and $160 and the prices haven't gone down. You got your moneys worth.

I was floored when I saw what Bug Bite was going for. couldn't part with mine, but was awful tempted to. And Dreadwing, what's got his price so high? Are there that many fans of him?

Botcon Dreadwind went up when the Renderform add on set became available for TRU Darkwing. Everybody wants the pair. Mastershooter Collectibles also did a very limited run of targetmasters for them in the colors of the G1 Powermaster figures.

For the record, the "top secret" guy is NOT Stepper. I can't launch the gallery yet but hopefully next Thursday or the following Thursday I can.

Botcon has the worst marketing strategy ever. They should just reveal everything including the convention exclusives the day before registration goes live. They should be like "this is what we got, come n get it". My favorite reveal will be when the exclusives start showing up on Taobao a month before the convention.

I'm constantly impressed by the strenght of the stick and the deternmination you beat dead horses with.

The most recent Seibertron.com gallery is not the next reveal from the Transformers Collectors' Club BotCon set, but rather an exclusive from the G.I. Joe Con in Springfield, IL and revealed almost a year ago: Marissa Faireborn and Afterbreaker This exclusive "G.I. Joe and the Transformers" set will be sold by both the Transformers Collector's Club and the G.I. Joe Collector's Club.

Special thanks to Pete Sinclair from the Transformers Collector's Club for letting Seibertron.com have an exclusive preview of this exciting set.

Convention & Club Exclusives Marissa Faireborn








Convention & Club Exclusives Afterbreaker

I know, I'm waiting for confirmation on this. I knew Afterburner, but Seibertron asked us for Afterbreaker.

I'll edit in case.

I haven't seen it myself, but I've seen TFWiki refer to the figure as Afterbreaker on Twitter and apparently the April/May club mag does as well. Possible the name Afterburner was unavailable and had to be renamed. Still better than some of replacement names we've seen recently.

I don't call it transformer unless it transforms take deluxe transformer bike with new head and paint call it after burner there you have it
