Am I missing something? Because I have seen DOTM deluxe Skywarp figs at WalMart.

Maybe it's Thundercracker you're thinking of?

If you're really seeing Skywarp in stores - hook a brother up!

oh well. Wouldnt be surprised if hasbro decides to add him to a 2 pack with slight redeco down the road for a target exclusive or something.

I believe Galvatron X is right. I think I saw Thundercracker now that I think of it.

I've really checked out of DOTM toys. I think I've fallen out of love with the movie style toys, even if it may be temporary. I find myself focusing on classics and really into Animated figs lately for some reason.

The deluxe Starscream mold is pretty damned cool, but the only seeker collection I wanted to complete was Classics and I've done that. For someone with limited funds (as in almost zero right now) I can't afford to try collecting DOTM Seekers, too. Which is a shame since that Skywarp looks badass enough to be worth the import price to anyone is.

Probably in some late-wave Walmart-exclusive 2-pack or something...

Hurray. Now you've jinxed it.

So, Hasbro figures that it's better of giving us only two of the three most popular Seekers, then just repainting the third and making MORE money off of the same mold for the third time?

I plan on using this as an opportunity to try to repaint my own Skywarp.

I bought two Thundecrackers. And now I have two of those cool chainsaw weapons for my Cracker. And it turns out one Cracker has some chipped paint anyway. So its all working out for me. I do feel bad for those interested where customizing isn't an option.

Same here, I have to break out the paints now. It will probably turn out as **** due to severe tremors I have in both hands now. Painting straight lines is a bitch, but it is worth a try as I have an extra Mechtech Starscrem just waiting for me to give it a shot.
Here's me crossing my fingers well before I even get arouund to starting this project.
