Curse you hasbro! I''m sure even alot of kids would want these things, especially considering how many g1 episodes have been posted on youtube. And i have to agree with the people saying that hasbro produce too many recolors as it is (although i still somehow manage to enjoy most of them).
With that aside its good to finally see thrust like this. They couould''ve used armada skywarp but i guess that a thrust already existed there but oh well. Hasbro really should consider making more redecos for the seekers since there the one reuse fans can really appreciate. On a side note i have to say i''m glad that after more than 20 years hasbro finally put it in their heads to give dirge a new figure. Even sunstorm has gotten more attention and he''s just some minor background character that no one cared about till takara put him on e-hobby. Please hasbro. Poor dirge is alone with his rusting autobot scrap feeling very unappreciated. Make him feel better. MAke more figures of him.

"According to Hasbro, making a full seeker set for the retail market wasn''t ''feasible''. They didn''t want to saturate the market with 6 similar molds and water down the line."

"Final Battle" Movie bots, anyone? Infact, how many "different" versions of Movie Optimus Prime are there? We have "leader", "deluxe", "fab"..the list goes on.

Utter rot, Hasbro.

Always wanted Thrust when I was a kid.

I just purchased 3 Ramjets from TRU that was in over stock at buy 2 get one free. I plan on repainting and utilizing some of the resin casting equip that I have available to attempt to finish out my Seekers. Figured out that the smaller folding wing on the Ramjet mold will pop-out and you can easily insert a Starscream/Skywarp wing (I hope to cast out of resin) Just need to figure out how to replace a Ramjet head with a Starscream/Skywarp head.

Also picked up an Armorhide to repaint into Huffer. Damn these expensive BotCons. But with a little work I''ll save about $200-$250.

I got this set added to a friend''s package who attended BotCon and this is my favorite figure in it. I must say that while I love the figure, I am VERY dissappointed that Thrust and the other seekers did not see release along the regular lines of distribution. It''s nothing short of cruel for Hasbro to dangle this set in front of fans with a $300 price tag and limited quantities. Honestly I feel somewhat ashamed for having it, and knowing that thousands of people who really want it will be denied by Hasbro, having to resort to paying scalpers. They''ve been doing the same thing with Star Wars exclusives for years now, and while it''s fine for the few people who can afford it, this kind of crap just ruins collecting for everybody else. And you''d think that Hasbro would be smart enough to see the potential for sales with regular distribution of these figures. Guess not.

Hey. I for one am glad to see BotCon do an extensive remold that for once is really good value. It''s a class job.

Trust me, after sitting in some of those panels, a petition isn''t going to do squat. You want to make a difference? Have your KIDS write their own letters in droves to Hasbro. Right now, they want new audiences, meaning they will more likely react to what kids want than what adults want. Sorry, it''s true.

Would have loved to have added this to the collection, but it seems that hasbro just doesn''t really want to give us all what we would like.

Nice toy though. Gonna have to make sure the custom i make is heaps better though, to ease the pain of not having a factory built one, along with the other cool botcon toys...

Sorry, but I''ll never forgive Hasbro & BotCon for this one! They''ve NEVER had a problem saturating the market before with re-paint after re-paint. It''s like they know this is THE ONE re-paint set that everyone wants, and they refuse to give it to us at store price! Marketing morons!!!

Now for the bot...looks good, especially those wings! I was hoping that they''d paint the face off-white w/yellow eyes (like the toon). Maybe it''s just me, but I''ve heard someone comment on this before...the more you look at those wings, they seem just slightly smaller than what they should be. Maybe it''s just the design...not sure. Anyway...yeah...marketing morons!
