I was lucky enough to get the "Seekers: Aces" set of Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp earlier than everyone else.
Here are some pictures:

Nice set. I would buy one but I already have starscream and thundercracker.

 

Awesome! I can finally obtain a proper set without having to mix Henkei with Classics and CHMS. It also appears as if they removed to godforsaken chrome from the launcher. Does anyone know how much this is going to list for?

Edit: I just noticed the Dirge-esque intake near Skywarp's arm. I also see what looks to be a bit of Thrust near Thundercracker. Something tells me we will have a Conehead set that will display underneath of this box for an awesome Seekers image.

 

How does Skywarp have a higher intelligence rating than both Starscream and Thundercracker? Skywarp was always the one portrayed as dumb as a bag of rocks. But those are very nice!

 

I just came to comment about the same thing! I think Skywarp probably was smarter but definitely not more powerful with a more powerful fireblast. I recall Skywarp being a coward but not dumb?? Starscream should have the most powerfull blasters out of the 3 with his Nullrays. Beautiful set, but after all the work I have put in tracking them down and the fact that I have Starscream and 2 Thundercrackers, both Henkei and Generations, I am going to have to put that amount of money towards something I need more like City Commander Armor for a proper classics Ultra Magnus. Something Takara and Hasbro both should of done years ago already!!

 

The numbers seem to mostly be taken from the G1 tech-specs. Popular opinion is that Starscream and Skywarp's numbers were accidentally swapped.

Although, compared to the G1 specs, their ranks have been swapped back, and Starscream's skill rating took a two-point dip.

Have no clue where Thundercracker's numbers come from. They don't seem to match either his G1 or Movie specs.

 

To me, Starscream was the dumb one. He always contradicted what Megatron would say or order and Megatron always proved right. Skywarp and Thundercracker would talk smack about him which in my opinion made them smarter knowing that he was a fool and wrong. The thing Starscream had over the both of them is power. He was the most powerful seeker when it came to fighting and his Nullrays. That is what scared the others into obedience!! Skywarp was a coward but also knew when he was beat and got the hell outta dodge which possibly made him the smartest one of all 3?!?

 

Nice, glad I have a set on pre-order. Hope it comes in soon.

 

Damn, I had to cancel my preorder for this set (along with other things) because of the glut of upcoming toys. How is it that there is nothing I want at retail, yet I am always broke. Hope to pick these up at some point, can never have enough seekers.

 

Would have been nice if they had done this years ago.

 

Interesting that the packaging is a combination of English and Japanese text, like the GDOs. I know it's probably a pipe dream, but it sure would be nice if this set made it to the US(another TRU exclusive?). Would be a great thing to do for the 30th Anniversary and all.

 

Open iiiit!

 

See sig below for details on how to get one NOW. I only have 8 available.  

 

This set is really tempting. I have the original Starscream release and Thundercracker, but a Skypwarp and nicer colored Starscream would look nice on my shelf.

 

I just preordered the set at BBTS so I can set the funds aside and all.

I have a CHMS TC and Warp and a MISB Henkei Skywarp but I think I really need this full set.

Maybe I'll sell the MISB Skywarp to help fund this lol.

 

In hand images? More like in box images.

 

that would suck shelling out $130 bones for this and then have it pop up at toys r us for $30

 

Good catch. There is a "Coneheads" one coming. Here is the thread   :

Generations Asia Exclusive Decepticon Deluxe Seeker Elite Set (Coneheads!) - Transformers News - TFW2005

 

They need to do a third set. Sunstorm, Acid Storm and a third seeker. I'm thinking perhaps a new one called Darkstorm.

 

Beautiful set! Not sure if it's worth the price but very nice looking box o' figs.
