Has MP-11 Starscream been KO'd?
Posted: Sat Oct 04, 2014 4:29 pmThere seem to be quite a few figures up for sale for less than $200, all from China, with similar stock photos. Anyone know?

Posted: Sat Oct 04, 2014 10:49 pmI'm not aware of any other KO's of that mold, other than the ones iGear used for their figures awhile back. However you may want to consider that MP-11 was recently reissued for around $200 which would explain why there are so many to be had at that price.

Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2014 4:59 amI know, that's why $140-160 is suspicious. Anyway, apparently some of these are pre-orders. Got a response from one of the sellers:
"This is original product from Takara Tomy, and it will be reissued in 2015 March. We are not selling KO."

Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2014 7:25 pmBeing reissued again? That's weird. Unless we're talking Asian market (non-JP) and MAYBE even being a Hasbro release (as opposed to Takara). I know some folks would be happy to hear about that if it's true. Stranger things have happened.
What I will say is to look at the $140-160 price tag + whatever markup they are doing for shipping. A lot of times it all evens out.

Wish HasTak would retool and repaint this sculpt in Thrust, Ramjet and Dirge.
Hoping Hasbro releases the Ghost or anime grey Starscream with the Cape, Crown and shoulder pads as a TRU American exclusive.
Didn't bother buying the Green or yellow MP seeker repaints that Hasbro sold at TRU.

Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2014 10:27 pmHmmm.... Takara is doing a run of the Hasbro MP-10 and another run of MP-11.... I wonder if this is gearing up for US Toys R US releases of MP Prime and Starscream?

Posted: Mon Oct 06, 2014 12:15 amCould be stolen factory samples? MP-5 Megatron has plenty on ebay for awhile and I'm not aware that it was KO'd or a new reissue.

Very tempting, It's the only one I'm missing.
