    I think because these are the first pics of him transformed properly! :) 

    These are already sold-out. You'd have to get one from a re-seller.

    As requested, *basks*

    I've already resigned myself to getting the pair, just getting over the cost is the issue now.

    Not taking anything away from that awesome Radicon, but I'm talking specifically about Henkei Thrust. All the pictures we've ever seen of him up until this point have been rather poor displays of the figure, with the thrusters on his feet or on the bottom of the wings when he's in alt mode. Not to mention there have been no pictures that I've seen with that transformation that been added to the mold.

    The rpice on this guy is insane for a deluxe. That said, Henkei Thrust is so gorgeous...but not $70 USD gorgeous.

    Henkei Thrust looks really good. But wow! $70 USD for it is really way, way too much.

    Really, I paid $140 SGD (about $92.50 USD) for my set of Thrust and Dirge and I find that already excessive....
    But I really want to complete my seekers.

    I paid about 65 per figure for Thrust and Dirge. Definitely worth it in my opinion and I don't buy many high price figures. They are seriously works of art. Great pics!
