*crys* I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAMN YOU HASBRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweet mercy, I'm one happy collector.

Front Paged and Credited!

That is outstanding! Shame I will have to pay through the nose to get him!

Hell yeah... damnit not I might have to think about a away set.

That is very, very, very nice... I really like the looks of this set!!!

wow

I know. Makes me seriously reconsider my repainting strategy...Thrust was the only seeker I had as a kid, and he looks just as awesome now as he did then.

...anybody getting an extra bagged set?

How much money do I have in the back now?

Another reason to switch my savings from Wachovia to PFCU...

Oh my fucking blashphemy, YES!

Happy that there is a good Thrust? Yes.

Happy that we have to pay an arm and a leg for it? No.

great, something else i can't afford that's way overpriced

It looks badass but I'll never own it.

I am one happy fanboy!

That was the one I was waiting for and he looks pretty close to how he was supposed to look in the G1 series, only this time he has decent articulation. I'm taking my form ovre to the fax machine now.

He looks sweeeeeet!!!

DAMN YOU HASBROOOO!!!!!

Now I'm REALLY pissed off. 1W MAD, 1W SMASH!

I WANT!

Why make these exclusives? Hasbro would make a mint from these seekers. Such a shame.

I agree

grumble grumble $200 frikken dollars grumble grumble

Geez, am I the only one that thinks the alt mode looks aweful? I mean yay to the robot mode and color scheme - I think that is amazing but the jet looks stubby and the wings look malformed in my opinion...?

Now this fanboy is freaking glad I sent in my registration form and paid for the non-attendee package!!

Sweet Jesus I called this one.
"Great minds appreciate alike! I would bet you that we get some retooling for Thrust. For all of the Hasbro bashing I hear we all know that Hasbro is well aware of what G1 Thrust looks like. I can easily imagine the (at least in our eyes) simple retooling of Screamer's wings and tailfins to create Thrust. For a convention set exclusive I bet money on Hasbro giving us a good recognizable interpretation of Thrust and not being lazy as some have suggested. " from my post in the Botcon Thundercracker thread!

Holy!!! Curse you Hasbro. I really wish they had made these as a general release. I can't afford the con set. :-x Well I've said my 2cents now back to lurking. >.>;

Perfect Thrust love the look and really looking forward to the set.

Like I said definately worth trying to get the Iacon non-attendee package rather than overpaying on eBay.

Awesome. Pure joy. He's even got his yellow eyes.

OMFG. At last there's a convention set that I'd actually want. Both Dirge and Thrust look great. Shame I'll never afford them.

puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrddddy

God damn you hasbro damn you to hell!! I always wanted thrust and now i cant even get a classic version. I hate hasbro even more now. We should all boycot these figures so hasbro will have to release them in stores to make the money back.

This is actually the only time I've ever wanted a figure that was a repaint of a seeker mold, and only because it's Thrust, and he hasn't been around much lately. But I still don't want him enough to pay what people will eventually be asking for him.

Still, this set so far is pretty underwhelming. It's all just predictable repaints that I wouldn't even pick up if they were mass-produced and sold at retail.

Thank my lucky stars I won't be tempted to get any of these.

OH SHI-

Um, no they wouldn't. Flooding the market with 6 jets that are virtually identical (parents don't pay that much attention to remolding like we do) would not have been a good idea.

The only other option for a general release would have been to wait after the movie about a year, and even then, most kids would be used to the way the movie figures look and probably wouldn't want any of the Classics.

So in a way, Hasbro was screwed if they released these figures to the public.

Much better to have them as exclusives, than not at all.

OMFG... That is... perfrection...

IMHO that is worth the price of the set...

For $200 bucks might as well by the G1 in mint condition....

This AND a G1 Seacon Reprolabels set in the same day? I just filled my pants with the urine of happiness.

God Bless America.

HOE LEE SCHNIKEYS!

Man, that's sweet. This is one BotCon set I do NOT want to miss out on!

$279 for Iacon package = completely worth it.

Amen. Totally glad I forked it over.

totaly orgasmic, like many, i wish hasbro had generaly released these, but oh weel, im glad im going to botcon this year

Now that is THRUST.

Nice.

Soon as I win the lotto, that bastard is MINE!!!

This set will be near impossible to get, whether or not they were exclusives. Dammit.

But for $200 smeggin' dollars? That's ball busting in my book.

that Thrust kicks ass and its how a botcon exclusive should be. Pay attention Hasbro

Yes! Yes! Yes! I love it. I'm so glad they modded the wings. It is as it should be.

Glad I ordered the sets way back when I did.

My seekers will be complete!!!!

I'm happy and pissed at the same time.

Problem solved.

BOOO!!! I WANT THAT FIGURE! DAMN YOU HASBRO!

I think that sums up everyone's opinion about the Botcon exclusives this year. I wish Hasbro would release them to the masses.
