Takara

That Dirge with accurate wings has my full attention!

Damn! My poor Botcons :(

oh well, I am happy that others are able to enjoy them too but it must really cross the fans that went the extra mile for the Botcon seekers and I am lucky as I didn't have to pay US$250-$300 for each!

After this the Botcon seekers are going to devalue considerably but after a while these Henkei seekers will increase in price in the after market and so will the Botcon ones until they both level out. However I suspect that Dirge with the remolded wings will certainly over take Botcon Dirge in demand and will always be more expensive.

Poor Dirge...*cries*

Mu-hahahaha.

I probably still won't get them though. I'll stick with the originals, (g1). I got classics starscream and skywarp, that'll do there.

I'd enjoy an encore dirge/thrust much more, and ramjet. We'd have all of those then. :)

It looks like they are both different to their botcon counterparts. Thrust seems to have a more "thigh" attached look to his wings and Dirge has got little pointy wings from the front. Dammit one of those store made me buy other stuff to get the exclusive. Here we go again.......

MV75: Why didn't you get the Hasbro Dirge reissue? I usually pay out most Hasbro reissues but I must admit that their reissue of Dirge was pretty good... mostly because there was nothing in it for them to screw up since Dirge never had any chrome or spring-loaded missiles. My reissue Dirge is a Commemorative Series.

btw, these toys are going to be limited exclusives. :( *sigh* Why won't HasTak give them to us as regular store releases?

Instead we'll be paying about $100AUD each (factoring in markup and shipping) because of how bad the dollar is doing :( :( :(

Overall the commemorative series were pretty good in the sense that they didn't use cheap parts and paint. They only cheapened out in the chrome and by upsizing the weapons for some stupid idea that they could sell the reissues to children.

For example all the seekers aside form the elongated missiles are of superb quality.

Actually, I do have it. :)

One and only commemorative jet I got.

All I technically need in the g1 style is ramjet and thrust as I have the ~2000 (whenever, I can't recall exactly), takara starscream and encore skywarp/thundercracker.
