No No I had no idea. The "reign of starscream" sounds neat though. Is that the comic series from the movie continuity that precedes the original t.f. movie?
If so I read up on it a few days ago and thought it sounded kind of neat. I wish I could get my hands on some of the t.f. comics both old and new, But I have no idea where to procure comics around here.

Nope, he was a mainline release. Wave 5 with Shockwave/Longarm to be exact. Also, those $100 prices are utterly outrageous if they are the Hasbro release. Takara I could understand, but not Hasbro. Searching eBay, the lowest price going for this guy is $10-15, which is almost a steal.

Two methods: you could grab the comics you want off of online comic stores, or Google for the nearest one to you. I got the first two Rage of the Dinobots comics from eBay, although I and many others wouldn't really recommend buying comics off of eBay.

There was a Thundercracker released as well, wasnt there? I know that was MUCH harder to find, but I wouldn't mind a set of three Animated Seekers.

I dub this thread...Seeking Seekers!
I really want to nab a FOC Screamer though. Distribution here is...bad to say the least. Especially at wal mart. They havnt restocked the TFs in 3 MONTHS! Just today they did, all Bruticus. I picked up Onslaught, pretty cool figure. But I doubt I'll ever see Starscream. Maybe in 3 more months?

Keep searching bro. I got FoC Starscream Friday, and he is totally worth the hunt.
I'm in Chicago, and distribution in my general area is crap as well. I've just now, like today, seen a full set of Combaticons in a store. I bought mine over the course of three trips right before Christmas, and haven't seen any combaticons since then, until today.

There was going to be, but it was cancelled along with Blackout, Wingblade Optimus Prime, and others. More cancelled Voyagers here.

Some people managed to get their hands on the guy even though he was pretty much unavailable to both Hasbro and Takara, and did reviews like this one.

I wish they would have at least keep that Activators line going and released the other Seekers in that. I'm always jonesing for more Seekers to put on my shelves.

Yeah, I'm a Seeker fanatic. And?

If your serious, I left the other screamer at TRU on the shelf. I have no problem buying it and shipping it to you at retail cost plus shipping man.
He is really a great figure. I cant say enough about it. Ofcourse, its starscream so I am mondo bias.

Hey. I have an extra starscream I picked up for you. If you want it, Is roughly 20.00 shipping included. I think anyway. The figure was 17.00 I dont see shipping exceeding 3.00
So let me know o.k? That way If you dont want it I can offer it to another, or simply take it back to the store.

That is EXTREMELY thoughtful of you, but I'm flat broke Even if I wasnt, I dont have anything set up, paypal, a bank account, etc. Thank you though. Its cool being a part of a community were people are so nice and honest. I wish I would have responded sooner to save you the trouble. Sorry. Maybe you can keep him, then commition him to be repainted into Skywarp? It would cost you, but it would solve the problem...until thundercracker...

Or even better I could make him t cracker and buy sky warp when hes out. Im not nearly good enough to pain him like that though. I have done some extremely simple paint apps, but thats all.
If youd Like, I can hang onto him til yor able to send me 20.00. Im a new member, so I can see why you would have reservations about sending me money LOL. Your a mod here and I trust that youd pay me though so if youd like, I can wait til you can afford him and send you the figure. When he arrives you can just send me a twenty dollar bill.
If youd rather happen across him in a store though I understand. Thats half the fun for me too.
I started a thread asking if anyone, particularly outside the U.S.A., would like me to send them any toys at cost to me with shipping. I picked up a buncha extras just for that purpose. I have had zero responses though!
I wonder why?

Is this sarcasm?

No, it's not. Think of it as a prayer to the Hasbro gods......or Primus...if you will.

God has never answered any of my prayers. Maybe I should try primus as well?
