I believe its scheduled for September. Wal-mart Exclusive though.

Not a problem, I've got a friend who's willing to pick one up for me..

September you say? No fixed date known?

Yes, according to Hasbro's Website. September. No specific date though.

BBTS was taking pre orders on him(with a $10 mark up) and they have him slated for release in September.

I say was because he's no longer on their site, but he is still in my pre orders page, so I'm not sure what that means.

they removed the link from their main site, but you can give someone a direct link to that particular sale if it is still in your browser history

first off, BBTS' ETA:

PREORDER
Arrives October 2007

the price was a whopping $40 over the MSRP. pre-order selling for $95 instead of the shop price of $55.

I think it is going to be $59.95....Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that is what the tag said at Botcon...

sorry for the redundancy - -thanks -- decent price

Since we're already talking about this guy, I've got a transformation question for those of you that own the Takara version. The wings, is the transformation similar to Classics Starscream? Meaning, the top of the alt mode wings facing forward when transformed? Everything I can see, shows this to be so but confirmation would be nice.

::EDIT::
Nevermind me. Temporary brain damage (or is that permanent?) had set in. I checked the gallery for him and this is indeed the case.
