More G1 Seacons?

[5FDP]

As reported on TFW, the G1 Seacons (well 5 of them anyway) have surfaced again leading to speculation that they may be released as part of Takara's Encore line, or a US store exclusive, or even a convention exclusive with Botcon and Comic Con around the corner.

Having no interest in these toys whatsoever, if I had bought the Transformers Collectors' Club exclusives back in 2008, I would be pretty ticked. I guess this is all too familiar with MP Grimlock (now a TRU exclusive) and Generations Thrust around the corner.

This is very good news for people who don't have a set.

There would be no justifiable reason to be, though. All Collectors Club exclusives are normally released toys in special colours. These appear to be normally released toys in normal colours. (Except Gay Pride/Breast Cancer Prevention Overkill. Who is awesome.) Being pissed off at this would be like buying Botcon Glyph and then being mad that they keep rereleasing G1 Bumblebee in G1 colours. And to be mad at that would be retarded.

If this is the next Encore/equivalent, it's a great move as long as they fix up the problems with the bits that didn't fit together on the previous use of the moulds.

I think that some people bought the clowncons because they felt they were the only choice - They would have preferred them in the original colors but that option wasn't available at the time aside from buying the expensive G1 originals.

Yay! The dream is closer.

If it does get released again - in original colors no less, that would be awesome. I already have completed these guys but its always a welcome thing to have those expensive Seacons shot down a peg or two in price. Also erm Snaptrap isn't among them so if they skip out on him they wouldnt be able to combine to Piranahcon....well all is speculation for now anyways

Could get messy for G1 collectors to identify them from the originals

start buying loose, complete Snap Traps and then make a killing when the other 5 are released.

I own the TFCC Clown-cons and have no problem with a G1 reissue. In fact I demand it! I WANT ONE!

Which is exactly the point I was trying to make.

For example, I bought Universe Ruination thinking that this would be the last chance to own the Combaticons (because I had heard that apparently the mold had degraded beyond reuse). Then of course, Bruticus came out in the Encore line and I was unable to justify buying another set of the same mold.
