Hey, thanks for stopping by once again.

Let´s get down to business. We´ve now seen pictures of the G1 Transformers commemorative series III Thundercracker. More importantly, we´ve seen pictures of its BOX. This series is more ´book style´ than series II will be. The box also shows us a picture of ´Silverstreak´ (apparently it´s Anime Bluestreak). A VERY interesting part is the two little words on the front of the box. Those two words just jump off the page. What 2 words? "Adult Collectable"

Not a ´toy´
Not an ´action figure´
an ´ADULT COLLECTABLE´

Just rolls off the tip of your tounge doesn´t it? You´re not buying some child´s toy. You´re buying an ADULT COLLECTABLE!

This could mean anything, or nothing at all. It could be just another sales hook, or it could mean that Thundercracker may not be altered the way Starscream has. I guess we´re just going to have to wait and see...

Edit: 12/29- Well, the wait´s over. The missles are still long. For those who display in robot mode, the changes are tolerable though. Hope that cheers you up a bit...

An Ebay auction has been put up for the upcoming Thundercracker reissue. Rather than go into detail about it, you can check it out on Ebay.com.

As you can see, it sports ANOTHER new G1 style box and shows that Silverstreak is the Anime Bluestreak.

However, for some speculation on this figure please head over to the rumor page.

The Target exclusive, Stealth Jet, is listed in Target computers as "Discontinued as of 12-24". This could be an error, but it may be one less exclusive figure added to your collection. Japan will still get the figure, so this allows hope for a US release.
