Gentei Thrust or Generations Thrust

[liegeprime]

Hmmm I prefer to keep the Gentei one for price reasons actually - coz Gentei one costs around $100 and the likelihood of finding and buying another is well, not really economically easy, while generations thrust is well, cheaper, more widely available should you choose to one day wish to... "reacquire" one.

Has the Generations Thrust affected prices?

Edit: Checked - They are about the AU$100 mark but are they selling? I can't imagine anyone going for them at that price when you have Generations Thrust which is of a comparable quality for a quarter of the price (or less).

Which is why i voted to keep the expensive one. Can you yourself think of just giving away $100? compare that to giving away $25... which then would you choose? and also the fact that the $25 one can easily be "reacquired" than a $100 one due to the more wide availability, mass production wise.

Im not saying anything about the quality coz I also think Gen Thrust is very good, quality wise which is actually pleasantly surprising since they scrimped on the quality of the first seekers releases.... hope they make generations dirge...

I think that Generations Dirge is an eventuality.

Because I liked the extra paint apps Hasbro put on the (retail) versions of the Classic seekers, I prefer Gentei Thrust over Generations Thrust.


I think the straight G1 decos on most of the Henkei seekers (as well as the BotCon 2007 versions) look dull.

Last night Deceptic_Optics came over with a mate, Mrs. Optics and his mate's partner... Deceptic voted for Generations Thrust, but the other people (i.e. non-TFans) preferred Gentei! Which kinda supports my feeling that preference for Generations Thrust is seen through rose-tinted GeeWun fanboy glasses.

But then Deceptic put forward the same point that liegeprime raised, and recommended that I keep the Gentei. He made a good point in saying that if later on I change my mind, it would be more expensive for me to get a Gentei Thrust compared to a Generations Thrust since the Gentei one was a limited exclusive. And I also agree with what FFN said too.

So after considering all the advice that's been given, I've decided to keep Gentei Thrust and give Generations Thrust to Sky Shadow. Thanks to everyone who contributed. Feel free to keep discussing and voting - the poll stays open for another 6 days (I thought I'd give myself a week to decide).

If you were in my shoes - which one would you have kept?

[FFN]

I never bothered opening my Gentei Thrust or Dirge. Was getting bored of the seekers by that point, though I'm still open to Hasbro doing more rainmakers or other unexpected seeker redecos.

[GoktimusPrime]

I'd like to see Generations Dirge before anymore rainmakers. Surely he takes precedent.

Get rid of both of them the classics seekers mold is terrible imo
