The box at Botcon says yes, the page at BBTS doesn't even mention them.

As for the news itself...I'm angry.

Was $49.99 and now it'll be $68.28 with shipping.

I knew the $50.00 price tag was too good to be true. -_-

For that price, it better have the stands. If I open that box and the set's not complete, I will demand a refund, and not one of their store credits either, I'll go to the BBB if I have to.

I'm that angry.

why the hell did they do the legs that orange color? I was hoping they would take all the green parts and make g2 colors

Wondering cause I don't wanna miss out because I can't pay for it until July 15th.

AWESOME DEAL.

I cannot believe there are people complaining, this is fantastic thing for the TF fans.

Fingers crossed they do PredaKing in a similar fashion next.

If my source is right (and he's rarely wrong), keep an eye open in the next couple months...

I don't have numbers but I remember way back when all of them were boxed instead of carded so I think they're the same size as the Predacons ergo Piranhacon is the same size as Predaking.

1. BBTS is the exclusive retailer of the Seacons; and

Kapow Toys have it listed for £64.95 ($97), free shipping. Took 20 seconds to find that, its even on their home page. No customs charges. Still, a bit pricey though compared to the prices BBTS are charging their home country.

Examples please. Everyone says how way overpriced BBTS is and how they gouge everybody, but I don't see it. Their prices on imports are usually within 4 cents of TFSource. Their prices on the new deluxes are quite good. as for rare/vintage, they charge what they can get for them. They will lower the price if it doesn't sell. but how much stuff is sold out on their site?

You want examples? OK: TFU Countdown, Darkwind, Skyfall - all $50 each.

I don't begrudge BBTS charging a premium for say, Japan-exclusive TFs, but for figures that you can find in local retailers, BBTS is oftentimes a rip off. However, they're not the only online retailers that do that.

I kinda prefer that. Having dropped $300+ on the set two years ago, I don't mind a little change.

All the other reissues have stayed true to original form or improved their cartoon accuracy. I'd hate to see them start attempting to make reissues different from their G1 versions just for the sake of being different after 10 years of reissuing...
