    Yep, TC is looking good for such a small figure. I can hardly wait to get this pint-sized Thunder jet in my collection.

    He really needs to stop doing that. I like him as a reviewer, but that is just entirely unnecessary and he rambles on about it for half the review.

    Didn't that article come out recently with that terribly coined term, which said adults WERE a majority of the buying market?

    I don't recall the number, I'm just saying/askin?

    Basically he got really behind and burnt out due to being behind and other life situations. Ultimately though he made good and either shipped out outstanding orders or refunded those that he couldn't ship out. He's said that JRC may come back at some point but for now it's closed down (I'm sure there's more details in his thread, but that's pretty much the gist of it).

    I don't think it said that adults were a majority, just the largest section of growth in the industry. Could still be a minority but also be the fastest growing demographic

    Honestly all the core-class deceptions are bangers. Glad they added thundercracker!

    I concur.
    But I am kind of tired of these situations where it literally takes years, and multiple retail outlets, to get all the Seekers in new assortment.

    On the one hand, I get it.
    Hasbro presumably doesn't want what is essentially the same character in different colors on the shelves at the same time.
    But then I have a hard time reconciling their aversion to releasing Starscream in three different colors at once when at any given time the store shelves may contain Earthrise Starscream, Warrior Class Starscream, One Step Starscream, Smash-n-go Starscream, Election Denying Starscream, and Mormon Starscream all occupying the same toy aisle.

    And I haven't even approached the coneheads in this scenario.

    It helps when they are spaces out so that way I can buy each as they go on discount and not have scramble to find all three at the same time

    I can print them at home in purple or black resin.

    Probably black, because it's on the same sprue as the other black parts.
