I like Thrust. Given the choice, I'd rather just get Thundercracker, but if I can luck into both of them, so much the better.


If eBay will come through for me, that is......

Should you go... Will you pick me up a Sunstorm that they will (almost) inevitably have as an attendee exclusive?


Thrust looks great by the way.

So how does one go about ordering them if they are not going to Botcon. Luckly I have a birthday soon and think I could bank the cash for the set as a one in a blue moon expense.

Go to http://www.botcon.com and order the Iacon package. Be warned, though, they may well have sold out by now. I got mine early, and was STILL high in the list.

Have to fill out the PDF for it?

Thrust is spectacular.

He's just not worth the dough they're requiring, none of them are.

This is posibly the best Seeker set ever. I love Starscream, Skywarp, and Ramjet; but man I have to get these guys. I guess
my laptop will have to wait a bit longer.


I love your sense of what's important! Laptop versus couple of great toys? Sod it: the laptop can wait. And what dedicated TF fan wouldn't feel that way!

Its too bad Satan is a fictional character and we as mortal creatures aren't really allowed to barter for our souls in exchange for material items, because these bad boys just cost too damn much for my budget.

Ackula, have you tried contacting Unicron?

He may be able to help.

More I look at Thrust, the more Superdeformed those wings look. If I could pick it off a shelf to a tenner, maybe. Really wouldn't go for any effort to find the bastard, though. Thundercracker's still probably the most impressive.

Yeah. I mailed mine, and it had a turnaround of less than a week, so it's not taking a long time to get it done even by old-fashioned methods.

Well, maybe you could blast away the FP attendants at BotCon and ask if anyone else wishes to fill their shoes?

This is simply put the most amazing shame EVER. Thurst, Dirge and Thundercracker are all very well painted and just look fabulous, it is just such a shame that they weren't made for general release. They are precisely what needs to stand next to my Classics Starscream, Skywarp and Ramjet, just such a cheap way to make money and promote a toyline. It's such a waste that they are only exclusives...

I simply don't have the means to acquire these guys unless a lot of them were produced and distributed at Botcon, but I don't know how likely that is. The more I look at them, the more depressed I get. (Argh!)
