How many people have still not received their seekers, but Amazon says they're still coming? I feel like if they come in stock again it will be sometime after the last people get their preorders.

 

I got my set yesterday, labels on the box, gonna complain to CS about it tomorrow. At first I was really pissed off that I couldn't enjoy the figures, especially since my Dirge has crap QC. And I enjoy Dirge's design more than Ramjet, so thats that. I seem to recall that type of blue plastic is more brittle and prome to cracks. My Dirge has some scary stress marks (no cracks so thats a relief) and the right shoulder has a peghole so warped the Null Ray barely fits and first time I put it in it left ugly stress marks. One of the winglets is really loose, but at least it holds in place.

Ramjet is perfect for the most part, even though I noticed a slight stress mark where people have been getting the misfired pins.

I warmed up to them today, and I really like them, but they make me glad I skipped the other ER Seekers. I prefer the Siege Seeker mold a lot better, because it feels sturdier. I think they look good enough alongside the 8 Siege Seekers I have, and hey, having a different body type really maked them stand out as an Elite Squadron. Can't wait for Thrust and G2 Sanddtorm is a maybe (more like 60-70% on it).

No wonder he is screaming in pain.

 

Mine still say they'll be arriving Monday, but no shipping notice yet.

 

I got my Dirge & Ramjet a few days ago, after some delays (my first, & probably last, time going in for all 6 Seekers -- I rarely buy duplicate transformations). Mine was shipped in its would-be shelf box.   (I open them, so not the biggest deal.) Saw there were problems & thought I was lucky & got a pair without any. Still can be argued I did, but I noticed Dirge's head isn't screaming, after viewing the photobomb thread & looking at mine. I prefer this different head. It's in the proper colors, just a different facial expression.

Anyone else get the wrong head?

 

Yo what? How??? Non screaming dirge whattt

 

Instant high value collectible!

 

You lucky son of a gun!

 

While I realize that this item is out of stock (and should hopefully come back in stock at some point), it could still be worthwhile to check it out on amazon. I saw one on the amazon warehouse page today for around $42.

 

The Prowl set region lock has been removed folks. The coneheads on the otherhand, No such luck!

Wow....that’s awesome that Ironhide’s gun can be stored in the roof, hadn’t seen that in earlier reviews.

Still wish the Datsuns had opaque plastic for the knee joints, I like the rear window being molded from translucent plastic but not being part of the knee joints.

 

Hasn't been removed in Australia

 

managed to snatch this and the Ratchet/Lifeline two pack using PostMate.

so it is possible

 

Translucent plastic scares me. Especially when it's used for joints. Or entire roofs. Or anything else with pins.

 

Using Postmate isn't just going onto Amazon and clicking "Buy"

I shouldn't have to be going to depend on those for these sort of exclusives and its ridiculous that its a case it has to be done.

 

So Australia's still locked?

 

Damn, for some reason I had a bad feeling with the Amazon seekers and decided to cancel my pre-order. They will appear eventually and hope Hasbro will fix all these issues.

Hope Ratchet and Ironhide sets will be free issues but I'm afraid of translucent plastic in Prowl.

 

Still showing as not available, yup.

 

I can forgive Ironhide's partsforming and even his awful feet in vehicle mode but I'm still so disappointed in Hasbro for not even bothering to give him proper Earth mode wheels. Like come on, couldn't they have at least reused an existing wheel mold from another figure if they couldn't be bothered to make new ones just for him?

I'm loving this Prowl except for the unpainted transparent knee pieces. Hopefully those won't be too hard to paint, but I don't see why they couldn't have come painted on him on Bluestreak when they did on Smokescreen and his paint job is no less complicated than Prowl's.

 

Let's all hope this Prowl doesn't have sticky paint like the last one.
