    Grrrr on the Double post.

    I hope BBTS drops the price soon on the first seeker set. $40 difference with TFSource.

    For $50 + shipping, I'd buy a set or 2.

    But the wing style on Thrust still bugs me.

    G1 and iGear has it right...ok fine, World's Smallest and BotCon versions too.

    The only way I would have messed with this set at all is if Thrust had been cherry red, as I'd only need him for a custom Fi-tor. Guess I'll just have to find a cheap/banged up Henkei version.

    I went with TF Source.

    I'd like to get this set, but the Coneheads arent' as important to me as the Seekers. Have to wait on the price I suppose.

    They look great. Definitely the best consistent set of them.

    All the same, I'll stick with Gen Dirge/Thrust + henkei Ramjet. Sure, his chrome sticks out, but I don't want to spend $150 or whatever to make them look a little more uniform.

    He did on the show, which these are based on. I'm surprised they kept the larger missiles and didn't make him have the thinner ones like the others.

    I already own all of these as CHUG. And Acid Storm.

    Don't feel the need to own them again. (facepalm)

    My eyes are blinded to that as G1 RJ was the only seeker I owned back in the day. :)

    Never really cared for the Coneheads, so these are an easy pass for me.

    It kills me, I'm selling all 7 seekers (including Acid Storm) for like 130$ right now, and no one is biting, but people have interest in these over priced re-releases

    Nice! Good time to be a lonely laowai in Asia. I have all 6 US seekers already, but will be getting this anyway. Mostly because my Ramjet, Dirge, Thrust, and Skywarp are all on Prince Edward Island, Canada (pretty much the exact opposite side of the planet from here).

    Like many others here, really hoping for a 'rainmakers' set as well!

    Now, let's do the same multi-pack idea with the Animated seeker clones we never got!

    I paid about $10 each for my Hasbro ones. Metallic painting is tempting but I'm good.

    While not from the same line, I already have all 6 seekers. That's as complete as I'll ever need.

    Now if I could just get my hands on the G1 coneheads.

    So another 130$ set ? lol at 20$ a figure thats still only 60$, thats more then a fair price, i would even pay 75$ a set but 130$ no way they are not worth the price. They could have at least changed something besides the color, like give them propper null rays and do away with the bulky fat launchers . Glad i own all them already official and KOs and i still dont think i paid over 130$, granted i got all my kos for free but still paid for all my official ones.

    Man, they're so plain looking. I'm glad they do things different so that every version isn't the same, and that people who didn't have a chance to get them can now do it, but they just seem a little boring. Chrome or not, I'm glad i have the originals.

    Why can't they paint all 3 coneheads the same. They should have grey torso and waist and their thighs and the space between the torso and the waist should be the colour of the body of the jet. Dirge whole torso is grey, Thrust has a maroon waist and Ramjet has grey thigh, wtf....
