    There isn’t a target sticker on the box, so unless they stopped doing that or it will be added later, it’s a wide release.

    Am I the only one who thinks this is show accuracy to a fault?

    No, not just you. These look like bootlegs you'd find on a Chinese market.

    I had the same feeling with Lancer, honestly, Siege really has grabbed me the way many previous lines did.

    How nice! I'm still holding out hope Iron Factory will make camo deco versions of Ion and Nova Storm. They're the only ones left.:( 

    BTW, Did Hasbro ever commit a change to the chest since Starscream? It will be cosmically tragic is we're getting all these seekers in one line and they all have that flaw.

    I've heard reports that the chest has a better fit on Red Wing and Thundercracker, though who knows....

    While no version has a pin, Redwing at least has a much much tighter grip with the chest piece. It took some force to try to get it off when I tried. Dont have TC yet to check.

    I can also confirm this with Redwing. Makes transforming him back and forth so much more fun.

    There's some discussion that this set may have actually been seen on shelf, in the Illinois thread.

    If they made these three, there is no way the next 3 hues are not coming.

    Speaking of Red Wing, anyone know where and when he'll be available again?
    Since these rainmakers will be at Target, I assume Red Wing also will be again....?

    Really? A paint app as part of the mold budget? How bizarre!

    Doesn't make me hate it any less, you understand. It's still awful, and is the single greatest factor keeping me from buying these.

    These are clearly meant as budget figures. So I'm not sure why you'd complain they didn't modify the process (which would likely have cost more money to do.) Especially now that we see they're being sold at a reduced price point.

    Not to mention to casual collectors it's likely be more obnoxious that there's a bunch of Seekers on their shelf that have the weathering and now three don't.
