Me three. I used to do that as a kid to mimic the box art for the conehead seekers. I didn't realize that the coneheads had their heads pointed up until I saw the Season 2 cartoon years later. I still prefer them to have their cones folded down just like the first trio of seekers.

It's to make up for all the love they got in the G1 era with Tunderclash, Action master Elites, Predators and most of all Overlord.

The UK rarely gets any Love from Hasbro.

Thrust didn't get reissued either – it was just Dirge, so this set is definitely overdue for all us G1 fans – unfortunately, being in the UK, I doubt this will be coming to shops here… thank goodness for online sellers.

All three of the classic Conehead seekers were released in the U.S. As for these, the Coneheads weren't reissued in the states since the Toys R Us Commemoratives in maybe 2004, where Ramjet never got reissued. So I'm happy they did, and as a nice set.

dont really understand why these get reissued in the US but not that CHUG cone head seeker set that was released overseas. Id much rather have that

No they're smaller than the MP jets. I guess they're a little smaller than Voyager size? I haven't taken mine out of package yet so I don't have any comparison pics.

What scale are these in. Do they go week with the MP Jets
mcart
D'oh, yes, that's what I meant, no idea why I said G1 ones!

I fold them down too.

That is correct, the only reissues of G1 Thrust and Ramjet that were released were by Takara, and they were expensive exclusives. I ended up getting the Thrust reissue, but could never find the Ramjet for a good deal. This box set of all 3 is less than what I paid for Thrust by himself over 10 years ago. Although, the exchange rate wasn't as favorable back then as it is now.

If you mean Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp, then no, it's just the three "coneheads" for now.

Thurst, eh? Not familiar with him. Is he a rainmaker?

This set is killing me, especially at the $70 shipped price. Over the last 2 years I have been seriously downsizing my collection. I used to have all 6 original G1 seekers but have since sold off 5 of them. Now I only have the G1 Starscream reissue reppin' the 84 Seekers and G1 Ramjet for the coneheads.
mcart
Any idea if they will be doing the g1 seekers too? I know they released the classics mold again but I want the real deal!

I was not expecting them to release them as Target Exclusives.
Not sure If want though.

This. Ramjet and Thrust were the last two I needed as well. I glady paid the full price when Target posted them and it was well worth it to finally have a full set of G1 seekers…and Sunstorm. Now I have an extra Dirge. (MISB TRU reissue).
