View attachment 28799338 Thanks for the offer. I appreciate the thought but I already have all of them nasty Seekers. Being OCD, I'm waiting for Thrust for a group shot (together with the Rainmakers and old Starscream himself).

Yea, same here on waiting for Thrust. My current seeker lineup is
Siege Rainmakers, Selects Redwing, Netflix Hotlink, Earthrise Seekers and Coneheads (minus Thrust), Legends Slipstream and waiting on G2 Sandstorm (and for Thrust to be available)

Slingshot

Who designed this figure and thought it was a good idea to have it released?

They should be sorry and sad.

“Mmm, lets stick the bloody accessories that’s glued to the backdrop”

Why hasbro, why?

So glad I cancelled him. Gosh, that's awful.

I just want Thrust. Why is it so hard to get the two Seekers that I want? I did finally find a Thundercracker after resorting to evilbay. I fear I’ll end up having to pay a similar price for Thrust. F’n sucks to have to pay almost 2 times the figures retail value.

And like locust's on a field of grain, the 'bots will all gobble it up!   I hope I manage to score one again……..pushing my luck with those previous two seeker sets.

were you able to get the skywarp/thundercracker set? My local Target had some sitting on the shelf the other day, could always check for ya

Going back to my frustration to Thrust, Sandstorm G2 has an ETA Dec 2020 to Jan 2021. , we have only 3 months to year's end. Any chance Thrust(another very familiar Seeker) could be squeezed between those months yet a never heard (well it was heard but never released) off G2 character get a committed date release? Also, unless Hb /Takara is opening another factory in Vietnam, can they actually release all those figs? Beer bug notwithstanding.

Aside from those leaked intentionally obscured photos a few months ago……….the wait is killing!

Going on the information we have (which indicates that Thrust is a Target exclusive), it's possible that Target is going to have several figure displays around Black Friday. We know from pulsecon that Target is supposed to have some sort of Retro Legends display where the exclusive Gambit and Rogue will be sometime "later in the year". It's possible that both Runabout and Thrust will be part of a similar set up for Transformers. Also, that leaked figure months ago indicates that Thrust is already well into production, there's no reason to think that Hasbro can't release all the figures they have on the docket so far

Give it a new head with a good paint job Hasbro and I'll pick one up.

This guy however….no thanks.

SPLIT LIP

This is why "toxic" is a stupid, nebulous buzzword that should be excised from discussion. Unless it's about acid, poison, or other substances where the word has literal meaning and not this passive-aggressive non-descriptor that more or less translates to "you said something I disagree with so it doesn't count."

And FWIW, I agree with Fenrys. When we have information that clearly discredits a certain possibility, why argue that? I get not knowing that when first asking, but after it's been proven that Thrust isn't an Amazon exclusive, just accept that information and move on. Also computer listings have so far been the most concrete evidence we have about upcoming releases. Fenrys never acted like a dick or anything, he just plainly pointed out that Thrust isn't an Amazon exclusive, so being a Prime Day reveal is impossible, as Prime Day only reveals Amazon exclusives.

I used the word Toxic to mean a type of poison. The direct dismissal of everything I have to say because I apparently used a "trigger word" speaks volumes toward the prevalent mentality. Obviously I should have never, even in a postulating manner, gone against the popular mentality that Thrust is 100% a Target exclusive. I must be insane to think with as badly as Target handled other (Seekers) exclusives or that 50% of the Hasbro stream was people spamming "no more Target exclusives" that there might be renegotiation of future exclusives with Target. I can't help but notice I am being misquoted as stating I thought Thrust was going to be an Amazon exclusive, I mean that was one possibility I suggested, but the point I was trying to make is clearly lost.

I said a thing that people disagreed with, well not all people, but enough. I potentially inspired a line of thinking in another and as such a member felt the need to use an idiom, "grasping at thin air" which means to fail. I would argue that telling someone that is presenting a different point of view than you do that they fail could be construed as "being a dick".

This. We all have opposing views. Using the T words is kind of a cop out safe space mentality. You can't get all the people in the world to like you and you to like them, agree with our opinions etc. That's the way of the world. (This post is so gonna b excised). 

And Thrust better be coming soon and not a be0tch to acquire like the rest of the coneheads! 

The fact I used a "the T word" is apparently cause dismiss me as a cop out "safe space" mentality wrong person, and thus dismisses the point I was making entirely. fun.

There is a problem here, where people that started their account before someone else on these forums automatically means their opinions are worth more.

I only sought out a forum for a thing I like because of the Pandemic, it is pretty 50/50 (glad I did/wish I hadn't). Today is a 'wish I hadn't' kind of day. Stay classy.
