Our sponsors Big Bad Toy Store have tipped us off to a second set of iGear Con Air Raptor Squadron releases. This set of Attack, Elegy and Jet – or Thrust, Dirge and Ramjet – is based on the iGear F-22 Raptor design, reworked to include the traditional design features of the second set of conehead seekers. Each is advertised as coming with stands, long missiles and extra heads.
In other third party news, Big Bad Toy Store is also now stocking the Planet X Caelus unofficial Fall of Cybertron Swoop.
Update – also available via TFSource here – iGear – IG-C05 05 06 – Con Air Raptor Squadron – Set of 3! with free US shipping.

I see these guys showing up on discount again. A reliable Aliexpress seller has the three-pack for $135 shipped now. That's $45 each.

oops I just realized this is the conehead thread…..my bad
I thought this was the tiger jet remolds they teased at a con and went silent after that.
I actually dont see a problem with this

Why is it bad form? I see other folks do it. Some even to push their own wares, other igear raptor set for example. Did I break a forum rule or something? Sorry if I did.

Damnit I had hopes
Igear has been super silent since the raptor squad

Bad form resurrecting a very old thread to B/S/T, dude. Isn't there an entirely separate board for that?

Selling my set of three raptor coneheads.
They are 100% complete ( extra faces, stands, missiles, bombs, instructions, cards), nothing broken or stressed no mods. Each has decepticon repro label faction stickers on the wings and right shoulder (3 per for total of 9) softly applied, no hard press so they can easily come off.
These are loose. No box or box insert, was displayed but never played with. PM me for pricing if interested.

I won Athodyd separately on eBay, for only $85-ish shipped. I'd suggest haunting eBay for a bit before paying $100+ for one of these.
I always prefer Ramjet of the Coneheads (had G1 Ramjet growing up), but Dirge is often a close second, but I don't like how the undersides of the wings are not also painted gold, ends up being too much blue in bot mode.
Wish I would have gotten iGear Jet back in the day, to go with this one.

GreaT! Now all we need is someone who wants the blue one XD
Zavien
I still want the white one

Room?
What is this "room" of which you speak?
GunplaGamer
I still only want Thrust / Attack only. I do not have the need or the room for all 6.
Robogeek28
That would be hilarious.
Agreed, and to be honest, even though it was a huge hit, I prefer getting them all in one shot.
Now I'm hoping for some repaints.
Mecheon
They could if they wanted to
They won't want to because its basically the biggest risk possible. G2 Ramjet/Starscream and Actionmaster Thundercracker are more likely

I think it is genius releasing all these at once and the cone heads as a pack. We all want them now but like anything the luster would fade after a couple of weeks in hand. Having to buy them in one hit has forced our hand. I got all six, realistically I probably would have got tired of them before getting them all one by one.

Anyone else wondering if iGear can beat the club to the market on a Nacelle toy?

HA! Vertical thrust!
Scaleface
Yep, although Coneheads goes back to 1977.
studwok
Coneheads from the 90s film were from Remulak, weren't they?
Scaleface
5 extra geek points for whoever (else) can figure out the reference to the planet Remulakan, which is where Athodyd Cacophony and Vertikill trained, according to their bios. I groaned out loud when I realized what it was.
