I hope this sells well, because it does maybe we can get MP Megatron (even if he is modified) or a good Skywarp and Thundercracker repaint.

If it actually shows up on the site, half of the exclusive stuff does not.

I'm sure there'll be plenty of Starscream. He'll be in far more demand than half the Exclusives so far combined.

They'd better distribute him better than the last Wal-Mart exclusives, Alt Rumble and Alt Ravage. Those two were hard to find in stores.

That makes two of us. I am hoping Hasbro will do the same thing with Skywarp since it is looking like Takara did not learn their lesson with Starscream.

Hmm sounds like your local Wal-Marts were hit pretty hard by those looking to make a quick buck on Ebay. Did you ever get a set?

We get them in various stores. I got the Universe Ruination giftset at Target, for instance. I'm sure we'll see him around

Well this blows I really don't like wal-mart but I guess this is one thing I will have to buy from them. I hope it is worth it.

I can't wait for the release of this guy. I'm still not a big fan (at all) of the mold design, but he's a neat figure for the price.

Well then, what about UK fans?
I never could buy the takara one (Lack of credit/debit card...) and I highly doubt that Asda would have it, even if wal-mart is it's parent company...

Excellent news. My Walmart always gets exclusives in... Even if it takes an extra month. For instance, the Devestator set is now sitting on the shelves...As in it was just stocked for the first time last week.
Hopefully they'll have a ton of this fella and he'll go on clearance for like $30. I'd make a freaking killing selling them on ebay at a later date.

Nope, checked seven different stores over 2-3 months and didn't find anything (but I did find plenty of older Alts). I went through the same thing with Swerve and eventually got him online.

This is great. Exactly what I was waiting for. I just hope he makes it to the Canadian WalMarts.

I hope the packaging isn't the same as 20th primes, that packaging sucks royally!!! I liked the book style it was more collector friendly and didn't have the same stupid twist ties in them!!!

well I just read the article, and yeah, there is no mention of a cape or crown. i think the interchangeable head just means the face turns like in MP-03. I will buy this one definitely seeing as how I missed out on the other Masterpieces.
I can't wait to display my Waspinator in front of the Masterpiece Starscream, like in that Beast Wars episode with him as a ghost.

I will be getting this too. If I am lucky I can pre-order him online from Wal-Marts. If not, then I will *sigh* be having to make a trip. A 10-13 mile trip on a bike. But he will be worth it though
If not, then I might be able to get him for Christmas instead if he is still on sale by then.

I can't wait for this guy. I have no hesitation on paying full price for him. Will preorder him once he's available on Walmart.com.
