    It is such a shame that these have to be exclusives.

    I have about zero chance of ever getting them living in the UK and I would love to have them as part of my collection :( 

    Sometimes I think that hasbro just hates the UK in general and me in particular.

    I'm VERY curious to see what these sell for. They look fantastic next to Ramjet.

    Several sets will end up in the U.K. for definite. Probably quite a few more.

    Yeah I am sorry too, it's just I didn't see the need to spend that much money on a set of toys, even if they are exclusives. Here is the problem...now here comes the "scalpers" knowing full well that certain people will be willing to pay that much for just two of the figures. I see the price is up over $200.00 now, and if you buy them on Ebay, they are waaaayyy overpriced!

    Wow, those are really nice pictures for an Ebay auction. The BotCon/TCC photographers should get some pointers from these.

    Both look utterly fantastic in these pictures. I'm really impressed with Dirge, as he looks amazing in these photos (Thrust looks great too, but I already knew that). I wasn't all that thrilled about Dirge before, but these pictures throw away any doubts I have. He's just perfect (even without new wings). Thrust is a work of art too. They both look so cool in robot mode together, and with Ramjet. This Seeker mold with each passing day, comes closer to being my favorite Transformer mold of all time. It's just so great. They can make figures from it until it breaks, I love it that much.

    I think it will be cheaper for me to buy Ramjet figures and kitbash them…

    Yay for Ebay scalpers and online toy stores! I'm glad these are exclusives because there's certainly no toy collectors out there that would rather get these at 10 bucks of a Wal-mart shelf than 175 bucks from Comic Book Guy!
