Hasbro Masterpiece Skywarp Preorder up at BBTS!

Great, but I guess I'll wait for it at my local Walmart to save on shipping.

This version is different from the original Japanese release as it is more cartoon-accurate in it's deco.

TARGET?!?!?

I'd change that before there is panic and rioting .

I could buy the Takara version for that price.

BBTS has gotten pretty greedy lately. The pre orders for RoTF Thrust and Gears were $27.99 each and they still sold all of them. I bought the original Takara Skywarp for them back when it first came out and payed about $90 if I remember right.

I only use BBTS for their clerence sales now.

i will still keeep an eye for out at walmart just to save 10 r 20.00 if i cant find him in the store before they stopp restocking shelves of this guy only then i will get him at bbts but until then ill keeep an eye out at walmart just to save 10 or 20.00 cheaper at store than online

Might consider the preorder if I save up a bit from this point on. Since knowing the WM around me, the exclusives gets scooped up faster than a wad of cash on the sidewalk.

ah.... i dont really care for this guy.... definitely dont need to pre order. if anything, ifi see him, i'll get him, maybe....

agreed, im looking forward to this

This actually got me thinking, why are both the Masterpiece seeker jets WM exclusives? Does that mean if Thundercracker comes out in the future it'll be WM exclusives as well?

Probably for TC --rather see MP Grim first.

$90?? No thanks on that price tag!!!!! + shipping --yikes!!!

I got the Takara one when it came out, so I am happy with that. From the picture, I didn't see anything different enough to warrant another purchase.

I think this one is similar to WM Exclusive Starscream in that they're both closer representation to their G1 cartoon counterpart. While the Takara one isn't.

greeeeeaaaaat . nice to see a walmart exclusive being sold by a online distributer. im sure that means even less for the actual stores so it will make it even harder to actually find one at the intended store it was an exclusive for.

not to mention having to pay the mark up. these exclusives are a joke half the time.

"Safety Warning: This Product is for Adult Collectors. It may contain sharp points, small parts that are choking hazards, and other elements that are not suitable for children under 16 years of age."

Hold on... 16? So, fifteen-year-olds will cram the null rays down their throats and jam their eyes with the missiles? Didn't these warnings apply to toddlers?

Online vendors like to charge double retail for store exclusives. I mean 50% markup like up $60 to $90 is not their normal style.

Exclusives such as repaints or w/e are pretty weak, but not when its Masterpiece TFs.

didnt mean exclusives are a joke, just the fact that they claim to be (in this case) a walmart exclusive....yet bbts is selling them. i see alot of really cool store exclusives anywhere but the stores. some of that may be due to scalping though. never once did mp starscream make it to any of my local walmarts. i had to resort to an internet store and pay theyre ridiculous mark up. im just predicting the same for skywarp.

I know what you mean. I never seen a MP Starscream at my local WM before, though I've seen some dude carry off 3 of them one time (if that counts). I guess you'll have to keep searching, bc WM don't have employees that are as helpful as Target, atleast from my experience with them.
