    He means it shouldn't have been made at all...
    I think it's a snooze. Looks like a combination of G1 Starscream and AM Starscream... what a waste

    With the announcement from the club on twitter that they're finally done with the mold it looks like I'll have to customize that Redwing (Red Seeker) myself!

    Oooooh.... that G2 Starscream does look gorgeous! If that's the last of the mold, it's ending with a high note.

    I don't get Nacelle. Wouldn't it have made more sense to make that last Seeker from the first episode? Hell, they could even call it Nacelle.

    He is the same guy.

    Nacelle (G1) - Transformers Wiki

    Also note that Starscream's head is white instead of light gray.

    It looks, oddly, that the factory painted the sides of his head that are exposed in jet mode black (either that or the one in jet mode's head is black instead of white). Which would be a really weird detail to mimic that was left on the original mockup they showed us. :lol

    Meh, Having a Seeker with a completely different colour-scheme and wing-shape doesn't really equate to making a toy of that guy in my eyes.

    I assume they were interested in utilizing their Botcon'07 Thrust wing molds, it could be a unique drawing feature of the figure.

    I think it's neat that they're using the Botcon Thrust wings instead of the Henkei/Generations ones. Gives those toolings a second use at least.

    My heart really goes out to that mold.

    Never has a mold been asked to do so much, over such a long period of time...and it just keeps soldiering on.

    I like how vibrant the blue appears in these photos (almost purplish?). Looks great.

    Now when the hell are these going to start shipping...

    Welp, figures the one thing that could make people buy this mold again, those Thrust in-wing VTOLs, are here again.

    I'm more interested in the G2 oddball guy with the camo wings, what's his deal?

    Yeah a lot of sellers on TaoBao have all the TFSS 3.0 figures except for Serpentor and the secret figure.

    So, for a newbie, what kind of packaging do the TFSS figures come in? Plastic baggie? cardboard box? Anyone have pictures?

    Also, is the packaging different if you get the figure as part of the TFSS or if you get it after on their website?

    P.S. Is it just me or is the TFCC site down?

    Foam insert inside a cardboard mailer box.

    No difference between what subscribers & those that purchase from the site get.
