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....

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

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?'

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:

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

Cool, i'm in the know too.
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.Blurrz wrote:HoosierDaddy wrote:I tried telling you guys a while back it was Starscream. lol right here
