I love that pic of SS and Skywarp. Looks like SS is whipping out the 'no ray.' I don't think they'll ever release MP Megs stateside. Too much of a stink will be made about the gun mode. If they did - they whole toy would be some ridiculous fluorescent green or orange. And I doubt wal-mart would sell it. They are not really pro-guns. Just my 2 cents. (I hope they don't anyway, I already ordered mine off BBTS and I'd hate to see it come out for $50 after what i paid!!!!).

Looking at the seller locations on ebay, it appears they are widely available all over Texas.

Hope it wasn't a scalper

I meant to specify that I was at the Super Wal-Mart in Valley Ranch, Irving, TX area.

Sorry for the confusion.

Damn! They got cleaned out already? Glad I got mine when they were restocking.

The rest of the Texans got wise, eh?

I better go quick if I want to pick up one more...

And when did you get yours? :???:

Still nothing in the Southwest Cleveland suburbs. I've been checking the Parmatown and Strongsville stores daily and stopped by the Brookpark Road store on my way home from work - nada.

They definately have restocked all of the movie figs though. I saw an entire endcap of leader class figs (including Prime) at the Brookpark store. Also tons of Ult Bumbles...keep waiting for clearance on that one.

to all who have gotten one: was there a specific barcode label on the shelf underneath it? niether of my wal-marts have them after their reset : (

I've gotta say that this is one great TF. Especially for the price. It's not quite as tall as I expected, but I'm fine with that considering the overall quality and lower price than I thought it'd be. It just plain looks cool. Probably the best representation of starscream in my entire collection. Classics SS being a close 2nd (still dont have a G1).

The clear "flying" stand was a GREAT idea, allows for much better posing.

I guess the only slight sub-par thing about it to me is the lack of good paint on the pilot, Dr. Whatsisface, but that allows me to paint him myself (which I love doing)!

Also, has anyone figured out what the little semi-circular black clip that comes in the bag with the stand is?

Back on page 11 :grin:

That would be 11:00 pm on Sunday the 28th. They were just putting them out when I went by.

It's for SS's jet mode to carry the little gun-mode Megatron (that came with MP-01 & MP-02) under the nose like he did in the cartoons. The clip came with the original MP SS and SW also.

Yeah, I got mine the next morning at 8am Monday. I wonder how early they've had these b/c I called them Saturday and they didn't know what the heck I was talking about.

So far I haven't found any her in Omaha. Geez, you'd think with Missouri getting these figures that Nebraska would be next on the list.

i've seen all the g1 episodes - i can't rem. Megatron being put under SS's nose. Not denying it though. I'd like to see a pic of the toy SS with Megs clipped underneath.

Sorry if someone has already asked this, but does anyone know if the crown that came with the "Supreme" Cybertron Starscream is in scale with MP Starscream? I want to kitbash a coronation outfit for mine.

I almost want the answer to be No. If the answer is Yes, I will totally regret not buying Cybertron 'screamer while he was shelf-warming the clearance aisle.

I do not know for sure - but based on everything I've seen, and the fact that I have Cybertron SS: I'm pretty confident that answer is 'no', they are not in scale.

-I.P.

I hope this G1 Masterpiece Starscream will get all the anti=Hasbro people to stop complaining.

Fans got what they wanted (AGAIN!), thanks to Hasbro. Now never tell me again that Hasbro doesn't listen to the fans.

The crown would be way too big for MP Starscream.

The crown is too large
