K Mart still exists?

I'm not sure if Sears bought K-Mart or if it was the other way around... but yes, you can find both stores in existence. Expect these exclusives to show up at both places (I have a Sears near me that has some of the recent K-Mart things popping up inside).

I think I've got the gist of the bio, there's three words I can't quite make out, though...

"On CYBERTRON tattoos are more than mere decoration. They can be ****** with super conductive materials amd symbiotic nano-machines to enhance a robot's ****** (possibly Sensors) and strengthen his weapons. STARSCREAM designed his tattoos to help him locate the fragments of the allspark as well as extend his ******* and power in the air. When his new sensor net detects any ancient artifact from CYBERTRON, they glow softly, charging his weapons and boosting his engine output."

Basically his tattoos have been upgraded to be allspark reactive?

Im a big fan of this mold, and at least in pictures, it looks pretty good. Even with Leader Starscream on the way, I'll be on the lookout for this. Makes me glad I have at least a K-Mart and Wal-Mart within an hours drive.

Cool, I'll be less tempted for this guy since I never set foot in K-mart if I can help it.

Though, as someone else mentioned, he'd make a pretty cool Acid Storm if you are going for all the seekers.

I've had really good luck with the 10 pack and War for the Skies, so hopefully this will be easy to track down.

Meh. Even if I wasn't pinching pennies till they bleed, this would still be a Nebular pass. Not fond of the ROTF SS mold to begin with, and this one is just, well, uglier.

Wasn't a fan of the mold from the first movie so I didn't rush out and get the remold for ROTF. But these colours, I seem to like them so I might skip the initial release and go for this one.

If it makes it out here ...

So Target gave us a G1-themed Screamer and now K-mart give us a G2-thened one

I have to say a kinda like it, does that make me a bad person?

Not sure where I would source on in the UK, but that is what Ebay is for!

Yahoo Japan has listed an auction of the upcoming K-Mart Exclusive ROTF Nebular Starscream.
With bigger images, we get to see Starscream biography:

"On Cybertron, tattoos are more than mere decoration. They can be packed with super conductive materials and hand machines to enhance a robot's sensors and strengthen his weapons. Starscream designed his tattoos to help him locate the fragments of all spark, as well as extend his range and power in the air. When his new sensor net detect any ancient artifact from Cybertron, they glow softly, charging his weapons and boosting his engine output."

uuhh what is syndiotic?? I kinda like it. Looks like Nemesis/Nova Prime is getting together a new crew from ROTF stock now.

syndiotic hand machines = symbiotic nano-machines

Wow...so somebody from Hasbro has a couple drinks and now Cybertronian "tattoos" have a purpose. Neverless, I love the colors and I actually know of one K-Mart in the Miami area. Hopefully I can find him...

Well at least the bio gives a reason for the whole idea of SUPER-DUPER POWERED UP PAINT JOB, YEAH!!! as the main thing.

Well, I had most of the bio right

You've got better eyes than me

Maybe I spend too much time on internet message boards....

I cant believe that K freakin Mart is getting this release! uggh Kmart is so unfriendly to collectors like all of us and their prices are higher and they never want to compete with the likes of Walmart, target or TRU! I know this SS will be around $30.00 or more since it will be at K-Fart!! Man, Hasbro really messed up this time letting kmart having this exclusive. It should have went to Target or walmart, not K it should go out business mart! Anyway, I'll still pick it up, but i may have to pay someone to go in and buy it for me, still i dont like k-mart. The sad thing is, a walmart, target and TRU are within a 5 min drive from me, now i have to drive 30mins to get to a k-mart.. so sad

And for those who dont know, K-mart bought sears!!! figure that out!!

Boo-hoo! No Nebular Starscream for me...

That's ok, it's more for someone else

That damn jet has turned me into an unprincipled whore on more than one occasion, and, so, sigh, I will probably set foot into the (ptui!) Mart of K to get him. If I must. But all of the objections are true:

Kmart sucks.
Kmart WAAAY overprices their toys
It's a redeco of a could-be-better mold (but I'm still squeeing about him having hands!)
The colors are kind of...new agey.
The tattoo story is...ummm, dopey.


But alas, it is my goal with my limited budget and patience.... I will never be able to have every figure that crosses my path, but I have sworn a mighty swear that be it within my power, I shall die with more Starscream figures than ANYONE else.

HK, which makes me Crazy Fangirl #1.

i am very sure i am going to buy this and i only plan on buying like 2 more this year.It just looks soo cool.

Hmmm... It mentions that his tattoos glows when near any Cybertronian artifact. Maybe his tats are made with glow-in-the-dark paint?

Does anyone know roughly when this Chocolate Starscream is hitting stores? I'm hoping before Christmas...
