Hehe

Unfortunately, I bet he will be incredibly expensive as he'll most likely be the one most people are after.

Both of them look far superior to the ones already produced as well

I'm finding Skywarp tempting (despite owning two of the Classics version) because of the more G1 accurate colours. DAMN YUO, JAPAN!!!

I was hoping for the coneheads, at least I can pick up a cool Henkei Skywarp(nevercared for TC much, let the flaming begin!) Does anybody know if these items will end up on US onlie retialers like BBTS?

Well, there's a 3000 JPY pricetag under them... Let's see... 1 USD is appr. 108 JPY... 28 $. Better then 300$.

I prefer the Classics Skywarp design. It's more creative. Retaining the traditional feel, and yet, making it new and closer to what a real jet can be.

Henkei design is too... G1. Not that G1 is bad or anything.

:O thank you japan ^^

i was then gonna buy the hasbro skywarp too but something made me check here first and i'm well glad i did, altho i liked the "pink" and grey paint on the bk of classics skywarp's jet mode but i guess the overall colours on the henkei one is just too much to beat. plus all gd for TC anythings gotta be better then £150+ right?
just when are they actaully released? the pre-orders 22nd so we talken a few months later like near ultra magnus?

1 seeker down 2 to go takara

This is good and bad news. Good because all those who don't have a version of Thundercracker will get another shot. Bad because I lose faith in Botcon figures truly remaining "exclusive" to the Botcon event.

Can't find any reference on either website to them shipping abroad, but I am stuggling through Google's translator. Anyone with language skills want to email them?

Well, people should be mad at Botcon, I mean, thats what they get when they use Seekers and Coneheads as exclusives.

"Gee I'll take arguably the most popular group of TF's and make them convention exclusives, all the while expecting Takara or anyone else not to make them for regular release. I R Botcon!!!111!!"

That's a bit of an extreme reaction. It's not like the people behind Botcon are responsible for the actions of Takara.
