Perty. I am a sucker for clear makes, and black repaints.
Not sure if it is supposed to be the ghost of Prime or what, but I imagine we'll be seeing a similar Starscream at some point.

I suppose only G1 Starscream and Mirage could get away with a clear exclusive. Also Armarda Prime as well.

Oh, well **** me, he's pretty!
I may just have to break my "no buying **** till debt is paid down" rule regarding him. So, 3500yen, 35$ without markup or shipping...any idea what he'd be with markup at BBTS?

Love it.
That is going to end up being one expensive figure when it's released.

I think it depends on your poiint of view on expensive.
If you are smart about it, and don't wait, you can probably get it for a pretty fair price. If you wait, it will go up. I'm thinking of the Binaltech Mirage (liger) that was clear and originally had pre-orders up for $90, and then when they were sold out and then put back up were near $200.
Actually, I would like to see them make Fire Convoy from this, you know orange transluecents, orange solids, and deep red solids....

I'm thinking he's going to be alot harder to get than Mirage. Then again they might have a ton at the convention. Maybe Wonderfest Arcee prices?

What I said, at Botcon they started at $100, and ended at about $70. Online they had previously only been available for around $125.

My bad, I had missed the part where you talked about the pre-order price, which is what I was getting at. But wasn't there a larger production run for him?
In any case I'm expecting him to be in the $120 range like Arcee. She dipped to $80 at Botcon, but I haven't seen her cheaper anywhere else.

Guess I'll have to wait till BotCon 09 to get one.
I can't justify dropping 120 on him, no matter how pretty he is.

If you can't afford the opening price, wait a bit, you never know what could fall in your lap.
Geekee, never a problem, never.

I think we might have had our prices and bots mixed, or maybe I did.
