    I think I'm going to skip God Neptune. I dont have any real interest in BW2. I would rather G1 related stuff or a new chance at Megatronia or something new from IDW.

    It might sound callous but my job has been booming as more and more people shop online. My finances during Corona hasn't changed from my pre-Corona state, so I don't have any issue with paying for the Seacons. I'll get God Neptune also, no problemo!

    Speak for yourself I’ve made more money in the past month than I would’ve normally made in two.

    Seacons and Allicons for all!

    I'm down for another Seacons set. I get some will complain about premium costs and such, but not everything can have the availability and pricing of a general release figure or set of figures at a Walmart (or one of it's subsidiaries). I think it's a cool looking set though I didn't get to see this particular Beast Wars show.

    I hope the inclusion of God Neptune is an indication of Takara possibly doing some special BW related event/line of figures for BW's 25th anniversary next year at least in the Selects line.

    Let's hope it's not just Takara.

    Recessions aren't that simple. I know it sounds counterintuitive, but spending money will actually contribute to faster economic recovery, since when businesses re-grow they re-hire.

    Additionally, with today's global, interconnected economy you really can't just say "essentials only and everything will be fine." If you want recovery then you need the world to recover with your nation.

    The shape is Piranhacon/King Poseidon without a doubt.

    I'l laugh though if it's the TFCC purple/gold version.

    I'd like to think everyone will be more understanding of a Beast Wars II repaint being only available as an exclusive and expensive limited edition release box set, but I'm sure someone will try to find a reason why that's a bad thing.

    @ZapRowsdower - I have to agree with the replies. Yes, world economy is tanking but if people are buying, whatever it may be, toys, clothes, food, new sound systems, cars, etc... There is no proof of a need to lower prices or stop altogether. It's the same argument when posters whine over aftermarket value skyrockets... No one is forcing them to pay the prices, but they do anyway.

    This also isn't the first time he's tried to tell people how to spend their money in regards to the seacons

    But this is the TFCC version:

    It's a pretty safe bet they'll leave Nautilator out.
    Because guess who has a weapon not needed for the trident.

    Where is it saying it’s a repaint and not a box set of the seacons?

    Its an assumption, but a pretty safe assumption, that the word "Next" on the teaser indicates a new project (God Neptune Repaint or some other repaint) not existing figures repacked in one set.

    Just speculation right now.
    Nothing has been confirmed.

    But God Neptune seems the most likely scenario.

    To think we missed out on picking that up at Walmart on clearance back during the Energon days.


    There wouldn't be a blacked out silhouette if it was going to be a boxset for a figure that's already been revealed and released.

    Prototypes are usually done in the multiple colors, not always just white.
