    And people buy awful figures like Hot Shot. What's your point?

    Unicron is a must for Transformer fans.

    I almost had that same psychotic break but I stopped myself. But I've had other, smaller, psychotic breaks, and I'm like, "why didn't I just pay a little more and buy all the henkei seekers?" I say congrats on the mental breakdown. wish i had them.

    See, I just finished painting a RamDirge, and I have an extra Ramjet and the G1 Thust parts to make a custom Classic Thrust. I plan on posting a new thread soon (my first), in the Radicons section of the custom Dirge I did, BTW. I've been researching the different ways to make a Thrust, and I'm doing him second, as He seems to be the tougher custom to do. The Dirge is easy and I think he came out OK. If I did another he'd come out better. But overall, I'm fine with it.

    So, that's why I would like to have them, but considering how good the customs can come out, I'm just gonna make em for less. (and its cool)

    Having all the seekers is a Great Feeling. Hence my Sig. Once I obtained them all I had a sig designed.

    Now you can rest easy. What collection would be complete without all the G1 appearing jets. If you had the money and this makes you happy then it was well spent. Considering some other hobbies (like cars) Transformers is not that expensive, at least that's what I tell my wife.

    I am waiting. I just can't believe that a mass release of all seekers will not happen at some time. I mean it has been 25 years and seekers are still being made. Sooner or later if the franchise continues we WILL see all the seekers in a good mass release. It may not be this mold but I am willing to gamble that it will be the same or better.

    I love seekers, but for the price of a complete set, I could have a MISB Star Saber.

    We all have our weaknesses, though. Mine is vintage Takara and Masterpieces...my wallet be damned.

    They would look really great sitting there together, but I am missing too many things to spend that money on repaints/retools

    it is good that i can not justify (can afford but can not justify) buying the four henkei exclusives for it made me start learning custom painting and modding, which i believe is the best way to own a figure. I mean how much more exclusive can a repaint be when you're the only one who has it. only you! :) 

    still, congrats on the purchase, good sir!

    i was so close to ordering the 4 henkei seekers last week...but i managed to resist...... i just can't justify spending that amount of money on TC and SW when both seem to have QC issues.... i will probably buy a MP SW instead...

    After I ordered the three Henkei Coneheads, I realized how expensive the figures were.

    Kinda... a couple months ago when this girl I liked and thought liked me back turned out she DIDN'T like me.... I needed to go on a buying binge but I realized I didn't really need anything to buy (I have all the Animated figures, 'cept Cliffjumper but it's not like I could just go out and buy it xD) so I bought MP Starscream and Megatron :thumb
