So I purchased a Power of the Primes Starscream, and I am so disappointed in this toy. Then I remembered the Cyber Battalion Optimus Prime I just saw in Walgreens the other day, and I did a little research. These Cyber Battalions are reissues from a few years ago (just before I started collecting) and are impossible to find. They are voyager scaled. And there was a Starscream made that IMO blows the POP Starscream out of the water (see pic).

Anyone know if the Starscream is getting reissued as well?

Hope you're aware that figure has no knees and no bicep swivel so he's only good for display and little kids, not so great for posing.

Maybe you'll luck out and he'll show up at Walgreens someday like a handful of others did, but I wouldn't count on it.

Starscream was not reissued for the second wave, instead his retool Jetfire has seemingly taken his spot. That wave is the only one found in US retail at Walgreens, the first one is still exclusive to Asia and Latin America.

Its not getting a reissue. However, it can be purchased at Universal Studios, its an exclusive there.

One thing though, while it looks great (I agree), he poseability is really weak. It is basically the same articulation as an 80s action figure. Looks great though (I have the Jetfire and he looks good too).

So you can only get it from Universal Studios if you physically go there? There is no online store?

None

And marked up a bit from even the Walgreens price if I'm not mistaken.
