I've been debating on which i should buy, if i buy both of the reissues it would cost about the same as the MP Skywarp in walmart. So which would be a better buy? Oh and anyone know when skywarps going to show up?

MP Skywarp WalMart exclusive is gone from stores.

I never even saw one or I would have had it, check ebay and resellers at this point. No word on if there will be more.

Hunt Toys R Us, Insecticons and Preceptor have been relisted on their website, but seem to be going quick from stores.

Don't worry 3.8TransAm, Skywarp has an expected release date of November ish for the US. Only Canada and the UK got him so far. You still have your chance to get him.

For Deathmoon's question though, I would recommend Skywarp over the G1 reissues. Unless your a huge fan of Perceptor or the Insecticons.

If you don't already have Skywarp or an MP seeker, Skywarp by a mile!

Reissues, the MP Seeker is a crap mold.

Seriously, both the Robot Masters and Classics Starscream mold is way better. Plus there's nothing better than originals!

I'm in the minority that finds the classics seeker mold overrated, but I absolutely love the MP seeker mold.

I'm getting all of them. I don't feeling like choosing. I just snagged the reissues, so now MP Skywarp just needs to materialize.

Yeah, MP Skywarp has only been out in Canada and the UK so far, so US fans still have a chance. And there have been restocks too.


I would recommend getting MP Skywarp if you don't have any of the MP Seekers yet. I just think he's cooler than the Reissues, even though they are awesome G1 figures. I only got Perceptor myself, because I don't really care about the Insecticons, but if I had to choose, I'd get MP Skywarp. Plus, the Reissues aren't selling out as fast, so you could always buy them later.

I would pick up Warp as well if you are interested in getting it and you see it. kirbenvost is right, Perecptor and the Insecticons are more likly to hang around until closer to Christmas, while Skywarp is pretty much going to sell out right away.

I have all three of the figures in question.

If you have Perceptor and the Insecticons already I wouldn't spend the money on them again. They are no different than they were in G1.

MP Skywarp, IMO, is one of the best looking figures I have in my collection. If you see him at Walmart, grab him up.
