    I don't have a better camera at my disposal, so apologies if these are a bit blurry.

    My Acid Storm came in yesterday.

    The green really needs good, bright lighting to stand out, but it is definitely forest green, not that weird blue-green like Takara Starscream.

    Mold degradation has been brought up and that is definitely going to be a thing with this last wave of seekers, and may explain why these are only going to be limited quantities.

    A part fell off mine when initially transforming it from Jet - Robot, I have no idea where it goes or why it fell off. I since transformed it back into Jet mode (only once more) and noticed this mid transformation:

    I know that's super blurry ;_; Anyways, see that mark where the metal meets the plastic in the middle of the picture? That white line that looks like a smudge in the picture or something? That's a pretty hardcore stress mark. Keep in mind all I have done is transformed it from Jet to Robot and back to Jet one time.

    Some of the panels don't quite sit right in Jet Mode either.

    In short, awesome toy, you will enjoy it, but QC may be spotty on these simply due to mold degradation. I have had no issues at all with my conehead Ramjet, but a couple with this after one day.

    I have no idea. I can't find any pieces missing anywhere, nothing looks off, I really don't know. My crappy cell phone camera won't focus on it very clearly either. Could just be an extra part that got stuck somewhere else it wasn't supposed to be during the assembly process? Either way, not a big deal.

    That's pretty much how all of them went, from NY to MA. Least your's isn't coming up "misdirected" by the USPS after being within an hour's drive of you.

    And he finally arrived, now if only I had time to open him before going to work.

    Interesting thing to note is that he comes in a white box, not a black one with product pictures on it. Kind of disappointing but with such a small run of figures I certainly see why that is. Still, with the price he was it would've been nice for the box to match the others, ah well.

    Received mine last week:
    [​IMG]

    Honestly, I'm a bit disapointed with Rain. The green color is a lot darker than I had expected based on the pics on iGear's website. Still a good looking figure and glad I got him.

    G2 Ramjet was a no brainer. I really wanted a purple seeker (how often I haven't almost bought the CHMS version) and this is beautifully gaudy.

    Both figures are completely free of any problems. No stressmarks, no loose parts, nothing. But I think it's a bit hit-and-miss, since my Lightning did suffer a bit from looseness.

    I'm a bit disappointed in the heads on Rain and G2 Ramjet, Rain's head should have been black and Ramjet's head should have some kind of coloring. It's a bit dull that Rain's missiles aren't even painted. Other than that, Ramjet is delightfully ugly, I must resist the urge to pick him up.

    I've made peace with the fact that these seekers (TC, SS, and the exclusives) are woefully lacking in little paint details. I've managed to fix up the alt modes and weapons on mine, though I haven't decided what to touch up on the robot modes. There's a lot of detail on the legs that could use some highlights, I'll just have to experiment with what will work the best.

    Other than the lack of black on the head mines perfect. The Seeker collection grows, now I'm just waiting for Skywarp to hit TFSource so my order of all three can be shipped.

    Well dude, I'm kinda kicking around the idea of selling my Seekers to fund the upcoming TF Prime Takara line (damn Microns), so shoot me a PM if you'd be interested in my Coneheads at all.

    So it looks like I'm definately going to be selling off my Seekers to fund TF Prime, so anyone interested in my IGear Sunstorm and Acidstorm?

    Unfortunately I'm gonna be stuck with my preorders for Starscream, thundercracker, and Skywarp at TFSource but won't receive them until Skywarp finally hits but if anyone's interested in them once I finally receive them shoot me a PM.
