AGAIN?
Why?
Why not re-release Soundwave and the cassettes?
At least PinkRod is somewhat new.

They did do a re-issue of Soundwave and the cassettes a few years back at Walmart. For a change, those sold pretty well, unlike many re-issues. This G1 Starscream has some alterations, it looks like. Besides the colors, they appear to have added 5mm ports to the hand pieces so he can actually hold other weapons and accessories. There also seem to be matching ports on the the null-ray cannon pieces. Also they included a mini Megatron alt mode weapon. All of which is an improvement. Though that doesn't mean the G1 seekers weren't still a mess of partsforming.

Personally I'm glad we got the toy-accurate look.
I'm guessing they're being cheeky by having the show-accurate mold look like the toy and the original toy look show-accurate.

When I click on the original links provided on the previous page, it just takes me to a page which states "check availability nearby", but no way to pre-order. When I click the link to show them all, Crasher was coming up for a while as "out of stock", and Shadowstrip, not at all. Now Crasher is gone as well.

Also, the ghost version featured a similar colour scheme.
I don't think the original mold of Hotrod has been released in anime-colours though?

Head is different on that toy, so it's similar but not a like for like.

Maybe in the USA but I don't trust Canadian pricing. I'm pretty sure it will be at the very least 50$CAN. We will see.
