Hasbro Toys'R'Us Exclusive MP07 Starscream For Pre-Order on TRU.com

frogbat wrote:very very tempted (finances are at all time low )

i have the original grey green starscream mp, broke a null ray too so think is very tempting esp as it's the updated version of the mould. The original was fiddly and delicate in comparison with the newer mp figures... so makes me wonder what could the designers come up with now with the experience they've amassed since the original release. Though then again it would be better they focus on non tackled characters...

Shortly after the news of Takara Tomy's Transformers Masterpiece Thundercracker, we have the pre-order page for the Toys'R'Us exclusive MP-07 Starscream figure, including confirmation of what accessories will come with the set. Read on below for more, and head here to purchase yours now for $59.99 ahead of its October release!

Product Description

Unsurpassed in ego or ambition, Starscream is the scheming second-in-command to Megatron. His all-consuming hunger for absolute power overcomes what little reason there is in him, driving him to adopt ever more vile plots in his quest to unseat Megatron as leader of the Decepticons. With his trademark null-ray cannons and a vast array of secondary weapons, Starscream is second only to Megatron and Optimus Prime in power.

Autobots beware, because the ultimate Decepticon air commander is on the hunt for someone to fight! He converts from robot mode to high-speed jet mode, and in either mode he's ready for major combat with his mortal enemies. His shoulder missile launchers leap out when he gets an Autobot in his sights, and with a missile for each one, he's always armed! The mini-pilot figure goes in his cockpit in jet mode, and it even comes with a display stand for your collection. This Masterpiece Starscream figure will change your Transformers adventures forever!

Includes figure, 2 missile accessories, pilot mini-figure, display stand, and instructions.

I wouldnt mind having this guy on my coffee table to replace the old version with the stupid sword hips. I skipped acid storm and sunstorm because hasbro butchered their paintjobs. But I might pick this guy up and hope TRU sees $$$ and does skywarp next.

Sorry, it sold out quite quickly. It was probably sold out by the time your check out was completed but the comuter didnt have time to react to the rapid fast inventory changes.

Why? The Takara version is still arguably superior, if only for the coronation gear. You've already got the best package, so why downgrade now?

Maybe you could PM Ironhidesh, he wants to sell his.

Also, unless your MP-11 is sealed, you will never get back enough money to make it worth it.

Let's say because he's used, you're able to sell it for 120$. Maybe 150$ if we're generous. You have to charge for shipping so let's go with 20$ for an example. 170$ total. Paypal first charge around 5.52$ in fees. Ebay then charge 17$ in fees at the very basic. That's 23$ in fees. You're down to 147$. Now, you have to ship the thing. Let's assume you pay noting for the packaging because you are smart enough to re-use what you got from previous purchases. To get to the post office, let's assume you pay around 5$ of gaz or bus fare. 142$ remain. You pay the 20$ to ship the thing. 122$ remain.

Great. Now you have 122$ in your pocket. BUT WAIT! How much did you pay MP-11 initially? The price for an american was around 200$ shipped. That's 50$ you just lost (because remember, you sold it for 150$ at best, not counting the 20$ of shipping). 72$ remain. Now, you are extremely lucky and are able to buy Hasbro MP-07 Starscream at the incredible price of 60$. Add sale taxes. I dunno where you live or what your taxes are, but let's say 10%. That's 6$. So, 72$ - 66$ mean 6$ remain clear in your pocket. All in all, you went through a sh!tload of trouble to just sell the coronation gear for 6$. You can just barely buy a basic fastfood meal with that.

But, really, do you think TrU will really leave Starscream's price at 60$? Hell no. When Starscream will be in stock, he will be 80$US for sure. In that case, with 10% taxes, it will be 88$. So, all in all, you will be in the RED of about -16$. For replacing the corronation gear with a jet stand.

So, yeah. Selling your Takara MP-11 for Hasbro's MP-07 is a very, very dumb idea.

Well, its a TRU exclusive, so usually stores to which it isnt exclusive to will jack up its price since they must buy it at a premium (unless its a shared exclusive).

I don't think you know how to eBay correctly, son. I've never once failed to get the price I wanted. I start the auction at ten below the price I want and then I leave it. Sure, it might take a few weeks, but I'm patient.

It's the same when I buy stuff. I wait till my low bid makes it through, I only paid 130 for MP-11 brand new. Patients. It always pays.

Also, at only 60$, scalpers will jump on it like rabid wolves on lambs.

Well hopefully BBTS acts like rabid wolves and gets a bunch of them. They typically double whatever retail price is for exclusives, and even at $120 that's a nice savings from Japanese MP11 prices.
