Just got word that TFW2005 sponsor Big Bad Toy Store will be the North American exclusive retailer for the G1 Seacons as seen at Botcon 2010. From their email blast….
Hi – We just could not wait until the next main newsletter to tell about one of the biggest pieces of news in http://www.bigbadtoystore.com history!BigBadToyStore is proud to present our first ever Hasbro Exclusive: Decepticon Piranacon – G1 Commemorative Seacons!
The Seacons are available in their traditional G1 colors for the first time in over 20 years since their initial release in 1988!

Add one to cart, then go into your cart and put something like 9999 and update the cart, you'll see how many remain.
Edit: Ninja'd!

on BBTS just put an absurdly high number in your cart and hit Update cart and it will show how many are in stock. I recommend you do this while not signed into your account as an extra safety measure.

I think the packaging looks amazing. I had originally intended to open these guys, but I'm in no rush because they look so sweet on my shelf sealed.

How do you know how many they have left? a serious question not being a wise ass.

so it says exclusive to bbts north america, so does that means they will get this set overseas as well?

i am just glad irregardless of the "issues of the mold" that the seacons got reissued…when the OFTCC version was made and sold out so damned fast…it definitely showed that TF fans had a demand for G1 combiner reissues….
Thundershot
At least they still have 1800+ in stock. I just want to make sure I can get one when I've got the extra funds in Nov.

yeah… still advertises for BBTS regardless of where you get it from… i think BBTS just realized how much they had to buy in order to get this produced… so they contacted some other retailers who would buy extras… no big deal though… i got mine, and no one has PM'd me to trade boxes for a MISB collector, so i'll probably open him tomorrow…

You would probably have to buy in wholesale numbers too.
Doug
At least they have it listed at the same price as BBTS.

I wonder what the wholesale price be on these?? I have a company tax id.
G1_Cindersaur
BBTS has on their website page for these guys that they are now selling wholesale to anyone with a tax payer id #…which means that they are probably not moving these as fast as they would like or they got shipped a ton of these to them and need to start moving them.
Personally i hope they have a ton of them still….i need to get one for my nephew for christmas but have to wait until next month so i hope these do not sell out too fast.
anubis20
yeah it even has the BBTS exlusive sticker on it

Got my Sea-men from Kool Toys in July. Okay set, but I prefer the my KO Constructicons giftset…
Sideswipe1954
They probably bought some of BBTS's inventory at a discount (bulk) as did Digital-Toys.

The screw holes on his altmode's rear legs are perfectly sized to fit his gun. You can holster it there.
