Because we got a Starscream out of the original mold back in 2008 or so. That's our MP Starscream, according to Hasbro.

The last time I bought this character at a Toys "R" Us, it was the Generations version. He had a blotch of paint in one spot, and one of the arm joints was pretty loose. And this was right off the card and out of the plastic. :BOOM:

So even if I wanted this, as I originally wanted a loose piece to stand guard with my MISB pieces (which I seriously need categorize before sending off to AFA)... This experience (and what I have read on the production practices used to make their stuff) has me think I should pass. Even though it does look nice. Even if my small collection is 70% Cybertron and 10% Autobot. Gah! Decisions! :BANG_HEAD:
Slimming down my collecting in favor of refocusing on both Japanese exclusive G1 (re)issues (1985-1987) and Super GT pieces. All profits from the pieces I sell will go towards getting my "Encore" Fortress Maximus graded by AFA (current estimate: $200, before shipping).

PLEASE CLICK HERE FOR WHAT I HAVE FOR SALE!!!.

Thank you. (^_^)v

lol there raising prices everywhere but i would pay 70$ for thundercracker especially since starscream was 80 when i got him from walmart.

To bad thundercracker isnt a walmart exclusive cause i dont like toyrus's policy on employees buying products.

I think he may possibly get released late september. And optimus prime is gonna be released for november or december for christmas


In street clothes paying cash at a different location, how would they know youre an employee ? Or give a friend the cash and text him what shelf you stash it before some kid finds it...

Is this just a large version of the Classics Starscream?

No, it's quite a bit more detailed, intricate and articulated.

But $70 seems a little high. I really hope they don't jack it up even higher for the Canadian release.

Is this even going to be the same size? I know it's a new moldish for Thundercracker but if the size is smaller I'm so not sure if I want it displayed with the others.Hell if so I hope Starscream gets released cause mine is already sort of broken from the hinges :C

Skywarp is still in good shape.

Here is a side by side with the original MP Seeker mold. They are the same size.

Hm. Rodimus was $69.99 at all of the TRUs around me, so that isn't a price increase in my area at least. Grimlock was $79.99.
