Looks like F2F has closed their pre-orders. As has HLJ.

Thx for the links and info.

NP, it was during the busy days of course, so news was fast that time...

I think that skywarp and the MP Japanese starscream are cool.. but I'm gonna label my MP-03 Starscream as a Drone..which means I need 1 more...so

From left to right on my shelf.. it will be..

MP-03 SS (Drone), MP-05 Skywarp, US Wal-Mart Exclusive Starscream, A blank Space for Thundercracker.., MP-03 SS (Drone)...

In the Center with his fist held high will be MP-04 Megatron!!! I may even place the Reissue Soundwave's laser Beak on his arm for effect.. hmm... with a little bit of clear tape..

I might consider letting my MP-03 SS go if there's a Thundercracker release.

But he makes such a good generic Seeker for SS to lead. If they do TC release, I actually might consider picking up 4 more MP SSs. 3 for generic seekers and one to have repainted as Sunstorm. Kinda like I have set up with my PVCs.

I know-just running out of real estate, especially since I still haven't found room for Leader NW Prime and Camo Brawl and with Skywarp and Anime SS coming soon. Too many big Tformers!

I wonder if the Takara US edition is any different construction wise, as in if they used any die-cast or not. I'm still not decided on which version of the US SS I really want now!

Get both, the visual differences should already be there and you can show the weathered US version in fighter mode and the clean JAP version in robot mode.

I'd love to if my wallet could handle the strain

After ordering my MP Skywarp I can only afford one Starscream and I'd like to get the version with the highest quality. Hopefully there will be more details on both versions in the next month or so.

Now that's what I'm talkin' about right there!

So here is my thing. I own the current incarnation of Starscream. I want the anime colored one (of course). I will get the Skywarp one as well I have no use for the Mp SS now that AC SS is coming...sorry but its true. So I might as well just go ahead and convernt him to TC. Now has someone posted instructions on how to convert your original MP SS to Thundercracker. I see that people are selling a book on how to do this on EBAY for $30.00 bucks. I figured out how to turn Alt Skids into ironhide myself (looks amazing) but I have never done something as complicated as MP SS. Anyone?

I like how they all have a base that says "Starscream". It's like that game show "To Tell The Truth". Guess which Starscream is the real one. And I agree, the original MP SS looks like Thundercracker, and they look good together if you think of them as the original 3 seekers, and not 1 Skywarp and 2 Starscreams. But he's not perfect. I'm definately getting the WalMart G1 MP Starscream. If they do a proper Thundercracker repaint, I would get him and Skywarp too.

Skywarp looks better than the first time we saw pics. I like the added silver. I'm still not to keen on the second face though.........oh well, it's MP Skywarp!

Screw this Walmart exclusive. :-x

Just make it available even at Target, bastids! You know the hoarders ands scalpers will take this out before the public sees it.

What's a guaranteed way I can get the US MP SS? Is there a website to pre-order from?

haha

I still had it in my cache ..

anyway, I was a bit ticked off that when I finally decided to pre-order it, they removed the "collectors grade" checkbox. so I'm now left over to the goodwill of Hanky or whoever bought my box.
