    Hell yea THUNDERCRACKER =D Finally get to own the last seeker of that set, now to hope for the Coneheads. Looks like Skywarp and Cracker are released May 22... but exclusives to two stores that I'm not familiar with. Anyway we can order these?

    You could try Yahoo Auctions Japan when it gets released.

    But yeah, Skywarp's hands and feet are a liiiiittle too light a shade of pink for my liking. :/ Clear Prime looks neato though.

    Ack I've had bad experience with proxy bidding sites, I'm thinking right now trying ebay or Pacific Mall (will have to check with the guys at the store if they'll be getting these)

    Henkei Thundercracker looks very nice in the dark blue plastic and looks alot different than the Botcon version, I like how the Botcon version has a cartoon accurate light blue while the Henkei version has a toy accurate dark blue plastic. Skywarp looks nice too, but not that great a difference than the original. The Clear Optimus Prime is a pointless repaint and it looks horrible.

    I own the Botcon seekers and am still glad to hear this. TC is an awesome toy, it's great more people will have the chance to enjoy him. :)

    ... and not that happy, warm and fuzzy sort of epic either.

    (everyone knows the real star of the Botcon set was Thrust, anyway ;)  )

    Yay! Metallic blue toy colours!

    Which is pretty odd considering TakaraTomy is trying to make these guys more cartoon accurate. But yay!

    Hmm. 3000 yen is roughly the price of a Japanese Voyager class toy. Why the markup?
