Transformers Asia has updated with new details of the teased Generations Seeker Boxed set. Releasing exclusively in Asia on 12/21/2012, this set features the most heavily Generation 1 inspired decos yet on the trio of Starscream, Skywarp and Thundercracker. They are said to feature special packaging and a metalic finish, which is seen primarily on parts that were diecast on the original Generation 1 toys.

Thats not bad really wonder why they arent offering the discount for buying one of each set
hordeall
TFSource has buy 2 and save $10
BUT you have to buy 2 of the same item – example – 2 sets of seekers not one of each
so if we each wanted a set of coneheads and seekers we would both save $20 and split the shipping cost to the person not ordering
Megatron31
Who is that through?
hordeall
looking for someone that wants this set as well as the coneheads
If we buy together we both can save $20
For some reason they arnt selling one of each for the discount
You have to buy 2 of the same set for $10 off each

I just got this email from BBTS:
Stepper
That will cost even more to have more articulation.
Darkbox
I wish they would have added some ankle tilt or articulated fingers to make it worth the price they're asking for.
Stepper
For those whom did not get the previous exclusive seekers,here is a chance to own them.

130 dollars?
There goes my order
Stepper
More or less after a mold has been used a no of times,there will be slight degradation
zman85
Actually everyone i know who has the derg and thrust molds said they have none to very little mold degradation odd
Stepper
To each his own,they are perfectionist collector whom are completist.

Yeah I just saw that. Imagine BBTS will match. I might be able to stomach this for 130 depending on when exactly it comes out. Slated for January isn't bad, so long as its late January. If its early I won't be able to afford it what with MP Soundwave and Christmas presents.
Stepper
They can give us the metallic finish &wan us to buy,no way because i already have the exclusive version previously.

TFSource has them listed for $129…

This auction that just ended puts the price in some perspective.

So the same trio, loose, fetches $105. To me that means this set should be around 120-140. I want the figures, but I don't think I do for that price even, let alone $170. Very curious to see how far lower BBTS goes. Probably silly to hope for less than 150.

There's an opportunity here to do some really phenomenal packaging with this set. Does anyone know if this will have United packaging? Hopefully it will not be in black boxes a la the Autobot/Decepticon Ehobby sets or the Tokyo Toy Show black Optimus. Does anyone know what ACE in the "ACE Asian Exclusive" stands for?

Yup, aside from some of us being seeker whores, these three have uniform paint apps that the Hasbro versions do not have. They keep making the seekers, I will keep buying them, and at first glance (pics we have seen), this may be the best paintjob of the bunch.
I am glad that Hasbro finally gave us all the seekers as US (non-botcon) releases, but the wing detailing being all different between them just doesn't quite do it for me.
