That was confirmed, I though it was only going to be made by the number of preorders.
Also, you found a cheaper source? I have a couple people looking, but nothing solid yet.
Oh and just cause I'm not selfish in my online hunting, one of the people I tipped off was Thomas Lee, of the Ebay favorite ToyArena. He's normaly real good at underselling BBTS, and, he's greatful for the lead

Here is is.
1,500 from Botcon
Estimates for Henkei Thundercracker should be about...Let's say 6,000. Just to be WAY conservative, let's say that there are 10,000 production unit Thundercrackers (There won't be.).
Now, let's compare this to another important character with a limited release: Energon Ultra Magnus. E Ultra Magnus had a retail value of $25. E Ultra Magnus had a production run of approximately 10-12 thousand units.
Energon Ultra Magnus sells easily for five times his value. People are happy to pay $125 for the toy.
Both releases of Thundercracker will be frighteningly expensive, BotCon and Henkei alike. Expect both releases to be in the $250 range.
However, be sure that the BotCon version will command a premium. He is terribly rare for a popular character.
Sunstar was right about one thing that was pretty important. A lot of people buying TC this time for Henkei were never financially in the market for the BotCon version. We'll see a ripple effect in the short run where TC's BotCon price drops.
This is only because people are cashing out while the think they can. The market will flood for a time, but in the end, like every exclusive, they will disappear and that market will return in full force.
Don't buy it then. But also don't complain in six months time when you decide you DO want a Thundercracker, but they're all back up to present Botcon TC prices on ebay.74 bucks is still too much.

You know what? I hope the people who have Botcon TC are happy with him. I hope the people who get Henkei TC (myself included) are happy with him. I hope everyone who wants a TC picks up one version or the other. And I hope that all the people moaning he's still too expensive get devoured by Unicron.
