Is someone really going to buy that thing now when the G1 version is just around the corner and costs only half the price?

Epic fail.

It speaks volumes for the paint job that I can own one of the most fantastic transformers in existence, and totaly feel no love of it simply becuase of the crap paint job (although also having the US SS and Skywarp dosnt help it either).

Mind I've always felt BBTS were a little overpriced anyway, especilly since none of their prices include postage.

I wouldn't blame BBTS.

The best thing about their store is that you can actually return things and they treat you properly if you do so.

I returned my first MP Starscream because it was a production F' up of the highest caliber. They were like, "No problem. We understand."

Got a whole new one and they covered shipping.

I would like this version of Screamer despite the bodged color job. I cancelled my original order upon seeing the first pictures but it has grown on me. However like Prime and Magnus he costs too much.

What are you willing to pay for him?

They still have him for less than $150 in stock

I think other japanese import stores sell him for $80.

And okay.. it might not be a starscream paintjob, but it's a hell of a good fighter paint job anyway.
