We have no idea on the number created but this (although crazy) could be a fairly short run. nexusnixx is reporting limited access to these (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=19698) from his source.

It just seems so...over priced. For a Seeker mould? Nearly $200 I've heard. That's crazy. They need more than just Dr Arkaville clone and stand to be worth it. That's like third party prices so depressing... double
Even more, at least compared to stuff like Fanstoys Dinobots which are similar priced an bigger. It's a bit of as ask seeing as how he doesn't have all the fancy cape and other accessories that Starscream had. Annoying because I really wanted this guy, but at that price I would rather get a 3rd party toy as at least that would be a whole new mold.
In all honesty, I wouldn't mind getting this one and Starscream in the new mould, but, I have 2 Seekers (Starscream and Skywarp) in the old mould and 3 in the new one (Acid Storm, Thunder Cracker and Sunstorm...Actually I have 2 sunstorms now one Hasbro...so make it 4). I like the idea of the fact that, there's variety in the transformations breaking them up into individuals, rather then 5 of the same moulds just with different colours...
Man it's a confusing figure, I'm quite sure it's a Hasbro Asia product but it Has Takara Tomy written on it..
I can get Tak/Tom Products but not Has/A.. Well not for a decent price anyway. If Takara Tomy officially release it then yes I should be able to get it for sure...But until then :-/
