Seeker dillema

[octopunchshotfisrt]

Hey everyone
I recently discovered that I have absolutely no representations of our favorite flying 'cons, and was wondering which version/interpretation you think looks the best and does the part. Please keep in mind that I don't have much money- which is why I am having trouble deciding.

I'd recommend getting the Classicsverse Deluxe Seekers. Here are the Seekers and the non-exclusive (i.e. regular mass store release) versions of them:
+ Starscream: Classics, Henkei, Universe
+ Skywarp: Classics
+ Thundercracker: Generations
+ Dirge: Generations
+ Ramjet: Classics, Henkei
+ Thrust: Generations

I hope you can find them for RRP ($25-30) or less.

Rather than buy them piece by piece, try & get the Henkei Ace & Elite seeker sets. Shop around & be sure to compare prices including shipping

I was considering buying those tetrajets, but after watching some reviews they looked... ech. I guess I'll just have to try and get the CHUG seekers, seems the most logical option...

I'd say get the Ace's sets.

I have the original Henkei which are similar to the Ace's and they are super nice. But do not buy the the original Henkei version today. Some of the more expensive ones (if not all of them) in that packaging have been KOed. It's not worth spending big money on them when there is a chance it's a cheep crappy KO.

The Ace's sets are the way to go.

This. Matching, superior painjobs. $40 each if you buy the set. Best way.

My opinion about getting the Aces set...

Pros:
+ Getting all the Seekers together saves time trying to hunt them down individually. <---much more convenient!
+ Postage cost may be cheaper (i.e. paying for both Aces set to be sent in one parcel vs. paying for potentially 6 different parcels if you get the Seekers individually from separate buyers).
+ More 'unified' visual aesthetics.
+ Don't have to worry about counterfeits (I'm assuming that the Aces sets haven't been KOed yet)

Con:
- At $40 a toy, it works out to be $10-15 more expensive than collecting the Seekers individually at RRP.
- Postage cost may be negated if you can find these toys at local collectable fairs, although finding them would pretty much be based on sheer luck.

It seems that the pros outweigh the cons, so getting the Aces set may be the way to go.

It depends on whether you want a complete set, just the season 1 seekers, or just the season 1 and coneheads. Honestly, you're going to struggle to get a complete set (including Sunstorm, Acid Storm, and... the blue one) out of any single line or mold set. If your goal is simply to have one of every character, you could do what I did at one point, and get each one in a unique mold. I still regret selling that set.

Can't say I'm aware of anywhere you can still get these at RRP.

^This. Skywarp has gone off the charts for even the Classics version. Starscream is just as bad. Thundercracker is pretty cheap though.
