Part 2 video

Mostly to let you see his Jet mode this time.

Notice the lack of detailing in the Boob Missile area (compared to Takara). Same goes for the nose-cone radar gimmick.

Still worth having though!

Hasbro getting lazy with the paint once again. Still, at least they painted him the right colors, unlike takara.

Where the heck was this footage shot? Interesting background... the trees off in the distance and the "penthouse view". Would the poster please step forward.

LOL: No penthouse! just an ordinary apartment in Hong Kong.

I paid over the retail cost for MP SS since there is no Wally Mart around here. You guys are really lucky you don't have to buy this stuff in rip-off "specialist collector" shops! You'd have thought being made in China, they'd be cheaper here... Go figure (pardon the pun)

Be patient. The wait is well worth it. This is THE best sculpted version of StarScream out there bar none. And you get to buy it at a bargain price in a local Wally Mart!

Yes but this is england, nothing is going to be the same price as it is in america due to the exchange rate, and the fact that everything is more expensive in the UK.

Besides technically i did only pay £24 for it, the rest was in shipping costs as its coming from hong kong.

Was £30 with shipping, and where from?

I got it here from a shop in HK. I'm from the UK originally so I do feel your pain...

i consider it a bargain really...£50 for an MP figure is cheap, considering that MP skywarp and takara screamer go for more than £70 from UK based shops, same goes for prime and megatron.

In August I saw 20th Ani Prime in Toy's R US in a Manchester suburb for 45 quid, but the scorching effects put me off. Regardless I really should have bagged him...
