Pre-orders up at TFSource; so should be up at other NA retailers soon. Fifty bucks apiece though. Coneheads are a set for $150. December ship date. Coneheads mention a bonus, but not the individual seekers.

Hoping the bonus is alternative head for poor Skywarp.  

 

Transparent Starscream may come with the coronation kit as a bonus.
One or more of the main Seekers comes with an unknown bonus for New Age Megatron.
All Seekers and Coneheads come with a piece of the space bridge as a bonus...

At this point it's really hard to tell what is coming with which figure and what is a bonus and what is just a standard part of the release!!

 

Haha. I learned from knowledgeable folks like @Starganderfish.

There's also a support thread. Buying Transformers on Taobao

 

True. I was counting the space bridge piece as a standard piece. But looking at their description of the Coneheads there is no mention of any space bridge pieces.

 

i would be shocked if the coneheads did not come with their flight stands. i mean you need a minimum of 10 flight stands to make the space bridge. i think 12 is a more realistic number just going off the pics. but i will go 10 for arguments sake.

 

I would have to wonder, for someone who didn't want the stands, how much would people buy them for? I'd assume enough people out there would want to buy some extras without having to buy a whole bunch of seekers.

 

Have had the same thought. I might change my mind once I had them in hand so I don't want to promise them to anyone (ha I'm not even positive yet I'm going NewAge yet) but I don't have a lot of interest in them honestly. They look cool but space is at a premium so I think they'd end up packed away rather than used to display them in my case.

 

I think you're slightly delusional. These 3P companies are not based in the USA or Europe and frankly what Christians think is irrelevant to their main audience.

And as others have said, the name of the figure is irrelevant. It's just something to call it to avoid trademark issues. Get over it.

 

if you are as adamant in your faith as you say, then this should not really be an issue. simply do not buy this toy or support this company. your god is more important than a toy. anything less than that is hypocrisy.

 

Or you could just buy it, throw away the box, and call him 'starscream'.

 

Robotoybase have an option for shipping without original packaging. Possibly other retailers, too.

When I had a MySpace I put my occupation as “Reaper of Skulls” (WH40K fan) and my conservative Christian mother had tears in her eyes saying people in my town were saying I was a devil worshiper...

From an outside perspective you can laugh at it but there are people who take this sort of thing very seriously.

The irony is that I wasn’t even a Chaos player. I just thought it sounded cool.

 

Once again one troll manages to kick off pages of backlash.

 

Knowledgeable types know there are similar solutions for less than $3 ea, so maybe ~$7-10, given the Space Bridge feature, and base color/detailing.

You can't be this serious and not feel that you are worshiping false idols by amassing a collection of toy robots to admire.

That sounds fun, right?

 

That's about what I was thinking. I felt like $10ish sounded fair considering all that they're supposed to do. It's one of the factors helping me decide whether I want to buy a set of Seekers; getting some of that cost back by selling away the stands I know I won't use much and won't be buying extras to make the space bridge. Though, I figure a lot of other people will likely be doing the same thing.

 

Seriously. Every thread leus posts in, he takes an opposing position. People need to recognize that and ignore it.

 

That makes sense. Good that you aren't going to swap these out unlike me, because I can't stand having a 3rd party toy on shelf for a long time(vs an official fig). Just a personal preference of course.

 

Cute cat!!!

 

I do notice some merchants auto block their listings due to oversea shipping restriction, even though my shipping address(shipper) is in China. No idea how they find out I don't reside in CN though.
