Is it worth getting...

Those reissues? I am talking about Thrust, Ramjet, and the newly reissued Dirge. Thrust and Ramjet are selling for $179 at BBTS and Dirge at $129 (sold out tho). I never owned the Coneheads and since I have all the Seeker reissues it's probably nice to get all the Jets. I am still thinking about getting another Hot Rod reissue as backup so I can open one for display.... now that I think about it I still plan to get Sixshot, maybe Hoist and Trailbreaker.. arrggghhh too many reissues to get!

Get the originals for about $40 apiece if I was you...

You can also try to look on ebay for conehead re-issues, they used to go for $60 or $70 a piece.

Unless your fit and female of course

Actually, my advice would be to not bother with the re-issue Ramjet, Thrust and Dirge, wait for the PVC versions of all 3 next month

, but don't bid against me!, you saw how much I went up to on the Skywarp PVC!

Should be able to get both colour and pewter versions of Ramjet and Thrust for about $20 and I think Dirge is a chase figure, I'm not sure, but if he is he'll probably go for about $40-$50. So, while technically not the same as the re-issues, you could have all 3 minty as PVC's for $60-$70

um......getting back to the originals...

I'd look for them on Ebay. Myself, I'd go for the older ones--even the cleaner originals will be going for a bit less, and DEFINITELY less than $60-$70 each. Most I paid for my three coneheads ea. was for Thrust, at $42. Paid $28 for Dirge (C-9+ and complete!) and $32 for Ramjet, complete. (all before shipping.)

Do a little hunting, and you can find good stuff for good pricing.
