I don't know if you found a different one:

I personally would hold out for one MISB,
or at least with a box. This guys shipping rate is
atrociously high for something I could ship
to the 48 states for MUCH cheaper.
I don't bid on items with outrageous shipping quotes,
that's just me.
I can't tell you much about it as I bought mine fresh in the
store and never opened it.
I am considering bidding on the Megatron now.
Gah!!!

Have to say that I prefer the original Stalker deco on this mould.

None of the recolours that were included in MW lived up to the originals. The new basics for the line were quite cool though.

Agreed. Soundwave is pretty cool, but he lacks Stalker's cool accessories. And keep in mind that he's a brick in both modes. However, 30 bucks seems a little much. He's not that good.

The basics are pretty good figures, but the paint jobs are dull. The RM repaints are pretty awesome though.

Stalker looks like the paint can exploded
on him while painting little Jimmy's baby room.

I just can't believe any Autobot would be
intimidated by his 'terrifying' colors.

What accessories does Stalker have that
Machine Wars and Universe versions don't?

A springloaded gun and small missles. Those missles were omitted because they were only 1 inch long: current toy safety laws state they have to be at least 2 inches.
