    If BBTS is selling Ultra Magnus for $80, this is going to be closer to $250.

    It would be interesting to see if the base mold is still in as good condition as it was during the Generations seeker era, versus the floppy version of the Universe era. But there is definite potential in this set, or sets (it could be divided into two, one for the original three and one for the coneheads). And what paint schemes they wind up using (PLEASE no chrome). Starscream in something similar to his Universe deco could carry the set by himself, Thundercracker could use pale blue and the Gen wing deco, Ramjet could be more like the henkei version....

    I would only be interested if Dirge and Thrust are cartoon accurate then I can complete my Takara seekers. Maybe replace TC if they fixed the missile issue.

    This is very interesting. Depending on the price, I might pick up one set. But will definitely pass if it is a crazy price like the 140 ROTF Megagron, considering this would be the 3rd seeker team that I buy.

    Not in the market for more Classics seekers...

    But if these are being released, one set of 1984 characters, and one set of 1985 characters may be less off putting.

    Use the superior Henkei paintjob and I'll be interested...

    No, please don't.

    I LOVE my US seekers, Thundercracker and Thrust look AMAZING, especially Thrust who looks 100x better than the Henkei version.

    If I get this I'll be sorely tempted to just keep the best of decos from the 10 and sell the other 4 mixing and matching to my preference.

    I AM concerned though that the mold changes for Ramjet won't be carried through though.

    WOW, didn't see that coming. Probably not for me, but that's just awfully exciting for people who have been after Seekers. And I'm betting they'll have a "coordinated" deco as well, which many people have wanted.

    This is mind blowing. I have all the seekers and I'm still tempted to pick this up XD

    Yes, but a hand-drawn poster is hardly any definitive indication. Still, the fact that four of the Henkei releases were store exclusives gives up hope that they'll change the decoes just enough to be different.

    FUCK!!!! I got all 6 Seekers but a part of me is a Seeker slut (I love sub groups)

    Let's see what this turns out to be.

    Wallet, hold on tight.

    What, you mean they're not aimed at me specifically? You make it sound as if people who have all six are somehow excluded from attempting to buy these again... Anyway, I'll be tempted if the decos are co-ordinated in some way as the full Classics/Universe/Generations line-up looks a bit 'off' with the inconsistent decos.
