because it's not a production model yet? just a prototype or pre-production model.
I'm liking the colors on all of them though..

Explain his purple lower arms. it would be neigh impossible to give his arms and hands that plastic look with a proper color and still be able to pose it.

Makes the original SS colour scheme look really bad.

So... does anyone know if Takara is indeed also (re)releasing MP SS in G1 colors?
Posted by neliz on August 7th, 2007 @ 5:10am CDT
no, these will not be released outside the US, so pre-order it through BBTS or something. I did it or, if you're lucky, get one of your friends to buy it for you and save $40.

So many unanswered questions....!
Can anyone confirm that Hasbro is putting out yet another 'battle damaged' masterpiece? (i.e. this beat up starscream. )
If so, can anyone also explain what their malfunction is with doing so? And what the heck is the US retail for this thing supposed to be?
What happened to Takara's refusal to do the MP Starscream mold in anime correct colors? They were adamant in that position at one point.... ?

again, check the news from last week and before, all the pictures indicate that wal*mart starscream will have "wear" (not battle damage!)

again, read the news, msrp of $54.95

That's why it's "Starscream US edition"

From left to right on my shelf.. it will be..
MP-03 SS (Drone), MP-05 Skywarp, US Wal-Mart Exclusive Starscream, A blank Space for Thundercracker.., MP-03 SS (Drone)...
In the Center with his fist held high will be MP-04 Megatron!!! I may even place the Reissue Soundwave's laser Beak on his arm for effect.. hmm... with a little bit of clear tape..

But he makes such a good generic Seeker for SS to lead. If they do TC release, I actually might consider picking up 4 more MP SSs. 3 for generic seekers and one to have repainted as Sunstorm. Kinda like I have set up with my PVCs.

I watch the front page like a hawk... Never saw that. I guess I'll have to start monitoring the forum for bits such as those.
Looks like F2F has closed their pre-orders. As has HLJ.
Thx for the links and info.

Still, I have a feeling that there will soon be an influx of him used on Ebay.
SkyWarp is looking hot!

NP, it was during the busy days of course, so news was fast that time...

I know-just running out of real estate, especially since I still haven't found room for Leader NW Prime and Camo Brawl and with Skywarp and Anime SS coming soon. Too many big Tformers!

Get both, the visual differences should already be there and you can show the weathered US version in fighter mode and the clean JAP version in robot mode.

I'd love to if my wallet could handle the strain After ordering my MP Skywarp I can only afford one Starscream and I'd like to get the version with the highest quality. Hopefully there will be more details on both versions in the next month or so.

haha
I still had it in my cache ..
anyway, I was a bit ticked off that when I finally decided to pre-order it, they removed the "collectors grade" checkbox. so I'm now left over to the goodwill of Hanky or whoever bought my box.
