    I still want these guys from the Seeker mold (then retire it):

    Redwing (Red Seeker)
    G2 Sandstorm from Ramjet
    Gobots Fitor from Ramjet
    Mid-Warp Skywarp (half transparent plastic to simulate his special ability )

    From KO's/3rd party I already have:
    The real Rainmakers (the Botcon versions were actually the "Welcoming Committee")
    Black Death Starscream
    Air Warrior Seeker (Purple Seekers from Season 1 of G1 cartoon)
    Electrum plated Seeker (from G1 episode "The Golden Lagoon")

    I don't care about Gobots and I don't need a mid-warp Skywarp, but Redwing and G2 Sandstorm are at the top of my list right now, along with Action Master a Starscream.

    I have the CHMS Rainmakers, 3 Air Warriors, Black Death, Sunkist (orange CHMS Sunstorm), and Stormshot (gold Sunstorm).

    I'm one of the few who loves the Machine Wars set. I still hold out a glimmer of hope that we get Hubcap, Prowl, Megatron, Soundwave, and some kind of Optimus to complete the set.

    Hence why someone would want that concept applied to a better mold

    Hey Pete, since I'm gonna assume you're tracking the club threads...

    Any chance the club could do what Million Publishing did and have a poll for an exclusive like the one that got us Go Shooter? It could totally work... You'd get an idea of which ones people like and which people hate, and even the ones that don't win could still get made later. You'd know which ones people DON'T like, as well..

    Knowing how people complain about unmade ideas as it is, I still think a poll is a terrible, terrible idea, just asking for trouble.

    Honestly, some of the best exclusives have been ideas that no one ever saw coming.

    People aren't up in arms over most of the Million losers. In fact, the next three runner ups could still get made at some point. Make the poll restricted to club members and only one vote per person... It would be a very democratic way of doing it.

    People may not be up in arms about he Million losers, but I simply cannot foresee that ANY "losers" of a FunPub poll would fare the same.

    Really I've seen plenty of people bitch about goshoter, lots of call for silverbot from that bh tooling although personally I think they are both sub par.

    I think the more important question to ask would be
    "Hey Pete, would the club be able to make the 9 losers from the recent Million poll?" (ok maybe 8 cuz that Fallen from foc Onslaught was pretty bad)
