Hehe, yes. It seems that Takara understands the principle of supply and demand. They did the same with Henkei Hot Rod/Rodimus a while back due to the existing demand (thank you FansProject :D!) and now they've done a second run of G2 Laser Prime from United.

Hasbro needs to pay attention to the actions and market reactions of their collector-centric overseas counterpart, yeesssss! :D

That 2-pack was Hasbro-only. The only Skywarp I know of was Henkei, which sadly had no re-release (great figure though, although the Hasbro version has its merits as well :) ).

It doesn't need a re-release, it was made to order. The pre-order counter only went up to 99999, which was reached within 2 days, and more where pre-ordered after that plus extras. There are more Henkei Skywarps and Thundercrackers than Henkei Starscreams. And Starscream was the mass released one. :lol:

8-} henkei Starscream is much more rare than the Ganbo(iirc) exclusives Sw and TC? Irony indeed! Good thing I managed to snag one waaaay back. If only Hasbro releases Sw as a single fig then all my seekers would be complete(except for Acidstorm)
