TF Collection
e-Hobby Magnificus
Universe 2008

I guess it's not just Decepticons that love combiners.
Man what area do you live in that has Starscream? I haven't seen him in stores since the weekend before Halloween. The results on brickseek don't seem to be correct for the NW Chicago suburbs so I'm having difficulty getting my hands on one. I thought for sure there'd be a lot of stock available in time for the Bumblebee movie, but it doesn't seem like it at the moment.

If you fancy a small drive, the South Bend, IN area Walmarts are all still full of Starscreams. Only about 2ish hours away from you...

Actually, only Japanese white\black versions have been reissued. The purple\white\black of the "international" release (Europe, Mexico, USA ect) hasn't been reissued yet.
:edit: William-James literally beat me by seconds...

Tailgate, not Windcharger.

His opponent will be decided today as it's now Thundercracker and Skywarp's turn to go head to head. Voting is now open for round 2, so as long as you're an Instagram and Facebook user, go and vote to see who you want to see back in the shops.
