These look lazy. I wonder what price they'll go for?

These look lazy.

To be fair, so is the source material.

Bye, Bye Universe Acid Storm.

Excited for this.

So we've got 7 seekers now in the range? Didn't expect that.

All in one year too... which is really pimping out a single mould.
The 2006 Classics Starscream mould at least took a few years to get to 7 different characters, and was still being used 9 years later. I wonder why they are rushing out these different redecos, as if they have another Seeker mould coming in a future WFC chapter, and don't want to be releasing the old mould at the same time.

The collecting scene is much different. Given that we get even obscure G1 characters in new moulds consistently, most anything is possible now. I can’t speak for being in 2006-2010, as I wasn’t a collector at the time, but it seems what we could get for fans was very limited, and risky for Hasbro in terms of straying from core characters.

It’s a golden age for fans now, so they can keep pumping stuff out fast and instantly sell it out. Greenlight, Lancer, Rainmakers, a Unicron, a titan every year, red Swoop, 3 Reflectors, all so fast but no shortage of interest.

I wonder if these are going to be a Myer exclusive (like the Coneheads from years ago)? Because if these are going to be standing in the way of Siege Jetfire and Omega Supreme being in stock, I hope the answer is no.

Seven and none of them are one of the coneheads? That’s astonishing!
