Platinum series reissue Insecticons and Coneheads

I found the original posting online, and there is a reply saying these are out in the Phillipines already, along with YOTG Prime

Sweet! And I'm heading to the Philippines early next month!

$100 US for 3 insecticons is a bit rich. Hopefully they turn up here and can be picked up in a sale.

The G1 Insecticons are about 100USD

So... at retail they're twice the price that the Toys 'R' Us and TFC reissues still sell for on eBay.

wider layout, more plastic, more cardboard, more... expensiver?

I have enough Insecticons (G1, TFC, eHobby clones), but I'd definitely grab those Coneheads^Year 2 Seekers!

I have the Takara TFC Insecticons and Hasbro reissue Dirge, but this new coneheads pack is an insta-buy!

The Tformers article suggests that the classic names are returning, but Hasbro only re-secured "Bombshell"... they are still not able or willing to use Shrapnel (as seen on the box photos).

I saw the price-tag on the front of the box, and the toystore in the background, so expected that it was a sighting somewhere... flying in under the radar.

Not surprising, being "Platinum Edition" label. Disappointing though, as I probably would have bought them just for the display box if they were US$50-60, despite appearing to be identical to their Gen1 colours.

If the Platinum Edition label is an ongoing thing, I would expect to see most of them showing up at Myer here... only to purchase on sale of course.

The insecticons look awesome. If they're on sale or there's a 20% coupon or something (if they're at TRU), I'll pick them up. If the Coneheads are similarly priced, I'll get them as well.

I can't believe that after years of looking for a decent priced Thrust, I finally give in and buy an almost complete Thrust just to find out a few days later that a 3-pack reissue is coming out... oh the timing...

Ordinarily wouldn't be interested but that box is really impressive. Might be nice to have a set to stay sealed if the price is right.
