I'll wait for the inevitable US release. It'll take at least a year or more, but it'll be half the price, and I'll be able to pick one that looks the best, cuz lets face it...the QC's gonna be all over the map on this guy.

Now go to the corner and think about what you've done.
Dang. Afraid of that...
I think you might have to change your name to 'TFBuyer Sometimes'.
It will be nice when some pictures are leaked and it is indeed the best Grimlock possible!

Prime was about 5lbs, Megatron and Starscream around 3lbs. He's gonna cost an absolutely ridiculous amount to ship, but I think it's a good sign!

And...that doesn't change what I said.
Ultra Magnus? Repaint of Optimus. (We received that mold.)
Starscream? Repaint of the puke green original, uses the Skywarp mold. (We received it as well.)
The only Masterpiece mold we never had on these shores is Megatron.
There's no reason to believe that we wouldn't see Masterpiece Grimlock here. He's not a gun, he's not illegal, and there are a lot of Dinobot fans here. Wal-Mart or Target would probably pick him up.
That's why I say it's inevitable. Though, to be fair, anything's possible, but when you look at the overall list of Masterpieces, they're just variations of three molds. (Four, if you count repack Convoy's trailer.)
Based on past operating procedures, the sales figures, and who it is...I'm willing to bank on a domestic release. Even if he doesn't come here, I'm still not paying $150.00 for him. Not a chance.

Will there be more "completely show-accurate" versions of characters from past lines like cartoon accurate Universe Deluxe Starscream figure or other “Masterpiece” figures?
We are looking at releasing another Masterpiece figure in the US in Fall 2009, but are not ready to make an announcement yet. Also we are glad you liked the new version of Starscream. I think that we are looking at each character individually and deciding how we want to handle it. But there might be a few more suprises for you in 2009.
