I like him, but I only recently have kinda wanted to get him. I think it would be a better option to get the guy I have been wanting for a year now. That being: Platinum Supreme Starscream. I like Predaking, but he seems to be hard to keep together and such. He is more of a shelf piece, whereas SSS is more playable. Also, SS is for about 80 USD on BBTS currently. Best deal on him I could find for a while.
When it comes to opportunity cost, I feel that the one I want more is the one I should get, rather than the one everyone likes more. Also, the original version of Supreme Starscream came out about the time I first learned about Transformers, which was around 2004 to 2006. Cybertron toys are really nostalgic to me, even though I hate the show.
I hear you. However I want to dispell some things you may have read:
1. Pedaking sticks well together.
2. Supreme Starscream is not more playable. He does not pose well. Both have abut the same amount of articulation. Supreme Starscream has the worst articulation among all Supreme TF toys. If you want that toy, you are better off finding a complete original second hand, they do not sell for a lot.
3. Both are as much shelfpieces. However you can pose predaking combined, all robot modes or beast modes, or a mix.
I know SS' not very posable, but out of nostalgia's sake, I like it better. I might get a Masterpiece instead though or something. I do also really want Hasbro's MP Starscream, but I want to get something for under 100 USD.
