More G1 Seacons?

[1AZRAEL1]

Not a financially viable option for some; myself included

Myself included as well, but if I was determined to have all the seekers. Was a matter of patience with them though. If only I was more patient, I would have waited for Generations Thrust. But that's life I suppose.

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.

Which is exactly the point I was trying to make.

The only time anyone has a right to be pissed off about this sort of situation is if they have bought an explicitly limited-number exclusive toy, and then HasTakTom releases the exact same toy in the same colours. Anything else is fair game, and it's ridiculous to not expect that Tomy will continue to make use of whatever moulds it has. As of now, a Seacon rerelease hasn't even been confirmed yet. And until someone actually does have a cry about buying OTFCC Piranacon this is just hearsay. But if someone does, they're being a twat.

Great news (if it's true) for those who want a the G1 Seacons!

I'm still happy with my TFCC Seacons, I'm not worried about the colours of them, at least they are unique versions of the mold. Plus they make great Shattered Universe Seacons (ignoring the purple insignias of course)

Everyone has the right to be 'pissed off' at anything they want whether they are deemed a 'twat' by someone else or not. To suggest otherwise is just plain ignorant and considering that Kup and I seem to share the same opinion on this topic (even though it might not be our own way of thinking) validates what I was saying.

Sure, Tomy will continue to make use of whatever moulds it has, and why wouldn't they. They're running a business. Is everyone going to be happy about it; probably not.

The Clowncons as Shattered Glass Seacons do work. Nice one!

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

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

This statement is fair enough.

This one isn't. It's ignorant to assume that any release of a mould will be its last, and buying a mould because one thinks it's going to be the last chance demonstrates a complete ignorance of the past decade of Transformers.

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

[kup]

I don't want to contradict anyone but since my name has been brought up as sharing an opinion which I actually do not, I wish to clarify:

I don't personally think that the Clowncons are a good economic alternative for G1 Seacons. I actually hate the repaint (Why I nicknamed them Clowncons) and didn't get the set for that very reason despite myself not owning a G1 set back then when the exclusive came out.

My post acknowledges the reason why people went out and bought the Club Exclusive set but does not mean that I share it.
