    I never completed the Seeker set from Siege, so these two are marvelously needed and roughly the same applies for the Wingspan/Pounce/etc. twin sets. I picked up the twin set from Walgreens, but because the final two showed up in an exclusive Takara set and/or through that Velocitron box set, I missed out. Be nice to hopefully finally right that wrong through the Earthrise line.

    Another exclusive? Instant mark-up for anyone not from the US unfortunately. Availability is also big issue, for Siege I'm still trying to track down the Skywarp exclusive which has been out of stock forever... aside from Amazon exclusives the Target/Walmart/Walgreens exclusives are near impossible to get without paying 50% extra and sometimes more than double the RRP not including shipping - still trying to get the Rainmakers at a reasonable price. It's a shame.

    Pass on the Clones, already got them and their Autobot counterparts during Titans Returns run.

    I said I was going to get the Earthrise Seeker body only if they made it into the Coneheads, Nacelle, & the Welcome Committee but... damn it Hasbro you are making it really hard to say no with how good Skywarp & Thundercracker look. And if I get them I'll have to get Starscream.

    Great. Another stupid exclusive. It is difficult to get Rainmakers and Siege Skywarp right now.

    So, if we assume old Legends = new Micromaster (as far as price point), then the Clones are being sold at $5 above retail. It's even $5 above what the Walgreens clone 2-pack sold for. Hmmm.

    I don\'t understand why Hotlink wasn\'t just considered Skywarp in the first place?

    Better than buying a whole box set for Pounce and a two pack for Wingspan

    At the risk of sounding mean, I kinda find this funny. The Rainmakers shelf warmed at my Target up until about a month ago or so.

    As for Siege Skywarp, I was waiting for that to go down in price a bit before buying it. It just simply disappeared off Amazon. I’ll probably just buy Hotlink, pretend it’s Skywarp, and call it a day.

    Why Is always so difficult to collect the all seekers?

    Here we go again...they can not be sold in every retail, no they can't , always has to be a challenge.

    More than likely I'd bet.

    yep. and I'd bet that's why they're finally putting them out where it's easier to get them now.

    Don't need the clones, but need Skywarp and Thundercracker.

    Hopefully these are online without issue.

    Hope this seeker set makes Siege Skywarp\'s set cheaper.  Don\'t really care for Pounce and Wingspan, since I already have the TR releases.

    I want Wingspan and Pounce repainted as Laserbeak and Ravage. Their robot modes would look identical, but there would be differences in color for their beast modes.

    Guess me and others were right about Pounce and Wingspan since many weren't able to get both the first time due to them being part of separate exclusive sets. I have Takara's version so I'm good.

    As for the Skywarp and Thundercracker set, these will be waiting for them:

    How about Energon Ravage and Divebomb?

    As much as these seekers were expected, I’d much rather resources be put toward the Welcoming Committee, Nacelle, Sandstorm, Blackout, and Slipstream.
