    Thanks for the pics. They look really well done. Colors look like they really pop on them. Sadly I will have to wait until after Christmas to even consider ordering these.

    Awesome gallery. Very well done. I feel like I made the right decision selling off my Hasbro Seekers in preparation for these.

    They look fantastic but I already own the HASBRO versions and I do not want to purchase that mold again.

    Starscream came out the best.

    I thought the preview pics for these guys show their null rays all being one uniform color - Starscream white, Thundercracker blue, Skywarp purple... wonder what happened to Skywarp?

    The only interest I had at all in this set was the possibility of a quality Skywarp, and since I snagged an original 2006 one (who, amusingly, is the highest quality Seeker I have now), I can pass on this set.

    Still, it looks good.

    The parts are linked to his black parts via the gang molding, so they would have had to paint them all purple. Which they did not (probably because it would have been a lot of paint over black plastic).

    Not bad but since I already have a full set of Henkei seekers, I'll pass.

    Do any news people want to front page this? Kind of weird that the crappy pictures I posted just to show I had the item in hand got front-paged, but these really nice out-of-package pictures haven't yet. Just my two cents if anyone cares... :p

    I've really warmed up to the shiny paint on these.

    Well, I'm in if they get a US release or go on clearance. I'm willing to go $75 on these sets, not a penny more. $120 is just CRAZY for them.

    Maybe it was cause i clicked the submit news link?

    TFW2005 - The 2005 Boards - Post New Thread

    But i did likewise with this, while i was at it.

    These will move just fine online, with only a moderate discount at worst. US release? Hasbro probably don't know what to do with them.

    the mere fact the forearms are painted instead of molded the color is annoying as hell. and why is skywarp's upper arm purple? that is not cartoon accurate at all.

    Where is Starscream's blue nose cone, thundercracker's black nose cone, and skywarp's purple nose cone?
