No.

I would if I had them.

 

 

Thundercracker was good enough for mass release, while Skywarp and Ramjet were not :tdown

So when can we expect pics?

As soon as the set is sold out. :redface

 

The sad thing is that you are probably right. Now that I've found a way to get them I'd really love to see them first before paying that amount of cash on faith. I'm only going to get this set of Dirge and Thrust have fully remolded wings and if Dreadwing is based on the Jetfire mold (I don't even mind it just being a repaint instead of remold). If Dirge has slightly remolded Ramjet wings with the boosters still on there I'm not going to do it. If Dreadwing is yet another Starscream repaint I'm out too.

 

I don't mind Bugbite at all. I don't have the Bumblebee mold yet, so it's a good addition.

you've GOT to be smoking crack

 

skywarp is 20x better than starscream and ramjet is probably one of the BEST remolds we've EVER gotten.

Unicron's Herald is correct. It isn't just about the cost. It is the eclusivity, It is also the fact that it is limited in number. Small run, limited edition exclusives, are going to be much more expensive than mass market pieces. The reason why the Ultra Magnus/Sky Warp two pack was so inexpensive was the fact that, not only were they simple repaints, but they were done in mass quantities and shipped to every Target store across the US. That is alot of figures and that cuts down on the individual cost per figure. With the BotCon exclusives, they are very limited in number, probably no more than a few hundred. and some of them at least will require retooling. That adds to the cost, and, since the castings are limited to a small run, that cost cannot be spread out over thousands of lower priced pieces as would be dione with mass market offerings, and that makes the cost significantly higher. Also, you aren't only paying for the figures, but also entry to the con and all the other "goodies" that go with it. The cost of the figures is only part of that cost.

 

Then how do you explain Takara/Tomy selling the exclusive Binaltech Nemesis Convoy for only $60 a piece then? That was also limited to only 1000.

Because that was a single toy, not five or more?

Yes, but the Iacon Package is going out at $330 per set for non-members. Let's round it to 300 to get out the cost for all the other stuff in the package and it comes down to $60 dollars a piece. You cannot convince me that that manufacturing a Classics TF costs the same as manufacturing a Binaltech/Alternator.

ya really, not to mention black convoy was limited even more so than the botcon set

 

i thought entry into botcon was free?

 

also, if your not going than your lucky that they're offering it to non attendee's.
