    I'm hoping he'll retail about $100-$125, no way I'm spending $200 for him.

    I'm still hoping they decide to come out with a Titan Class Trypticon to match Metroplex.

    Wow...

    That's quite a personal attack for someone's first post. If you have a problem with me I'll invite you to PM me. Otherwise I'd invite you to purchase that book and see for yourself if I've missed anything. Hell if you like it and bring it to TFCon or a future Botcon, I'll even sign it for you if you like.

    Haha that's true it could get clearance, I think that's when I would pick up the cone heads...

    Yes same as well, would love a titan class Tryp.

    Well, I like that all of the stickers on this reissue come factory applied because, in my opinion it was a pain in the butt for me to apply stickers to my copy of Titan Class Metroplex and considering that I didn't grow up with G1, I would rather have all of the stickers that HasTak includes with any of their Transformers toys that come with stickers be either factory applied or completely replaced with actual factory applied paint apps and tampos.

    I'm glad these'll be target exclusives. I'll probably actually find them that way. Too bad we don't know the price but we'll find that out eventually. Glad it's not TRU or Walmart for once. can't wait to at least get another set of Coneheads
    For myself who buys multiple releases of these sometimes having the stickers not preapplied is a plus as I can choose to sticker one version or not sticker another ( I've got my Sunstorms and Dirges that way)

    I didn't want pre applied bc:

    1. I bought the repro labels upgrade set so now I have to take off the stickers now
    2. After the Hasbro's Seacon release with the horribly placed stickers I'd rather do them myself anyway. Those were a mess.

    He will most likely not retail for that much in the US. The Platinum Seeker Squadron was a bit cheaper at US Targets. I expect this to be too.

    If these sets were released 10, heck even 5 years ago I would have bought them up. I currently don't collect G1 anymore since I don't have the space or cash.

    The good news is Target is getting Trypticon. I did get mine from the Chosen Prime but I am considering a second one. Also I get my 10% employee discount.

    Perceptor comes with slides you can use on the microscope. That thing on the right is a holder for the slides.
