I know, sucks. Even wal*Mart has raised their prices.


I'll just end up buying him instores. I am not going to pay for shipping. I did that with Blitzwing, and a week after I got him, I saw 12 Blitzwings at my local Wal*Mart.
 
Finally found Classics Bluestreak, Sideswipe, and Ironhide last week :D

Also found Classics Galvatron, but wasn't dazzled by him and left him on the peg.

Ravage is a pretty awesome new take and quite faithfull to the G1 design, but that Soundwave...Too fat and Barricade esque for me. Looks like it's an unused concept though, if only because Orci said that Soundwave was NOT a pickup truck.

I picked up Universe Acid Storm from work today and think he's OK for a repaint and he'll go nicely with my other Seekers though I'm still waiting for my Henkei Skywarp & Thundercracker to arrive from Japan.
 
Looks like Takara had to change the wings to prevent too much flak from the Botcon elitists who'll inevitably be whining about how their exclusives will now lose value.
Dirge appears to have a brand new,more G1 accurate set of wings as opposed to being a straight repaint of Ramjet which is awesome and Thrust now seems to have had the fans moved onto the tail wings as opposed to being on the main wings which will make it suitably different from the Botcon version.
They aren't gonna be cheap but both should still cost less than 1 Botcon version and I want to complete the set of Henkei Coneheads.
My big concern is how the molds will stand up to yet more use. There's already been problems reported with Universe Acid Storm,Henkei Skywarp and Henkei Thundercracker so is this a sign of things to come with the new Universe Starscream and Henkei Thrust & Dirge?

I can't believe your still using that Botcon elitists line again.

Like I said 5 months ago, if you wanted one of those Botcon sets the only thing you had to do was be a TF Collectors Club member and you could order one direct from HASBRO. IT REALLY IS THAT EASY. That set was up for preorder for 4 weeks before it sold out. You snooze...you loose.



Before you ask...YES non US collectors can join the Collector Club.



Don't blame the loyal long standing TF fans that got this set. It isn't their fault that you only just recently got into collecting TFs.
 
I just get tired of reading posts on the TF sites every time the Classic Seekers are a topic of a thread that consist of endless droning on about how they got the Botcon set just so they could sell it off at a profit.
The genuine fans that will keep the set in their collections I don't have a problem with,it's the ones with the scalper mentality that make me want to see the value drop.
 
Have you ever been to tfw2005.com? its a forum dedicated to Transformers,,in case you didn't know. :)
