wow. really beautiful SS. I really just want the coronation parts so I can put it on my walmart MP version though. Wish the kit that came out a while ago would go on sale - by sale I mean go under $15. $25-29 is waaayy too expensive for cape, shoulder pads & crown

To say I was underwhelmed with this announcement was perhaps attributing waaaaay too much from me excitement about the subject (if I buy any more MP Seekers they will be iGear's animation-accurate version with the fixed hip kibble, but then THIS occurred to me; what better reason to produce Emperor Starscream than if the next Masterpiece they're cooking up is a Galvatron to blow him to bits. We can only hope; additionally, I hope any future Masterpiece Galvatron includes a set of Starscream's feet, whcih were of course the only part left of him after Galcatron disentegrated hm ith that single fusion blast. Still one of the most cathartic moments in cinema from my childhood....

So okat TakaraTomy, you can now tell me where my Masterpiece Soundwave and Masterpiece Shockave are. I've been waiting VERY patiently for those two.
Control the media, control their minds, control the battlefield!

Does look nice, I'll give it that much. Hopefully the US release is spot on. Keep the coronation set as the difference, I don't need it. I'd put it on once or twice then just leave it in the box from there.

That thought occured to me too... I only hope that's the case. Perhaps this is genius rather than folly on Takara's part.

I'm less outraged at the price now, but I'm obviously still not getting it. I would if I didn't have MP-03. But I'd still rather have MP-10.

For those complaining about the price, remember this is a Japanese release intended for the Japanese market and has to be imported, add to that that the US economy has been pretty much run into the ground since the first MP Starscream and that the dollar is not as strong as it used to be and you'll understand why this costs more than before.
It also comes with more accessories, cape and stuff.

Regardless, this is supposed to be their answer to iGear. Not a very impressive response when they're charging 50% more... It's like iGear just got off a scalding blast and HasTak's comeback was 'I know you are but what am I?'

The new color pictures look awesome. Well done on the paint scheme. The ankles suck. Not sure if I like the head mold. And what's up with the ankles not swiveling?! That's so 1990's!

I like how the guns are hinged to the forearms and extend outwards on alt mode.

The more I see it, the more I like it. I like the changes they have made- losing the hip kibble and a new head, plus a molded cape. I got it preordered.

This is bad comedy. Seriously, I like the way it looks and I'll likely get him. I'm fairly close to livid to be buying practically the same thing I already own though. The changes are minor and shouldn't be justification for this release.

I could care less that I already own MP Screamer...these tweaks they did to an already amazing mold are more than enough to warrant buying this.

This will be my bot mode display, and Wally world Screamer will be the jet mode display.

and i was just thinking to myself before these pix surfaced and all we had was a confirmation, that I found it hard to imagine Takara making a better figure...well, they did it. =P~

No not regardles, the toy is priced in yen, the prices we've seen until now are Dollar and Pounds, converted from yen.
So while the price in Japan might be about the same as the original MP Starscream, converted to dollar it would be higher than before since the dollar is weaker than back then.
If that still makes no sense to you, read this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchange_rate

And add to that, that material and production costs have gone up and you'll see why this is so much more expensive.

Yeah, and also need to take into consideration that overseas online retailers are taking a larger cut.

I understand that the conversion rate is worse...so what? iGear's seekers still cost $100 including shipping! The point is Takara's doing this in large part to combat iGear...but if I had plans to buy iGear's seekers, I don't know that this would dissuade me any because I'm still saving like $70 a piece after shipping sticking w/ iGear, regardless of the poopy exchange rate. You want to kick iGear in the nuts, sell this for the same price they're charging. Hell, charge less and really screw them!

That's my sentiment as well. I can't help but feel that they're getting lazy, but we'll know for sure once pics come out. If it's a completely new mould, and they are starting over in a new scale, then it does make sense to get the popular characters out first. Although it would have been nice if it was Megatron. We'll just have to wait and see.

Pics have already come out. It's largely the same seeker mold with a few modifications, primarily the legs and the removal of the hip kibble. There are a couple other differences as well, but that's the most notable.

I believe he is employed by Has/Tak. Are you too? Seriously? The reason I ask, is because my point was, he never disappoints with his info and I think that is a valuable asset to have on message boards.

However, the info did turn out to be off a good deal as it's not a different model jet and entirely new mold...it's just a modified retool of the last MP seeker mold.

What's the remolding? It looks to me as though theyve just popped off the hip kibble and put it on his legs, which is something you can do with the original as well.

As long as it's not made in China, I'm in. Vietnam plastic and quality way better than those MPs from China.
