Posted by ZeroWolf Apr 15, 2020 at 7:46am CDT 41,167 views
Greetings Seibertronians! This is a treat for all the Transformer Fans in the UK, as thanks to some sterling detective work by fellow Seibertron user, AllNewSuperRobot, we know have two preorders up at UK websites, Kapow Toys and In Demand Toys.

Transformers News: UK Preorders Up For Transformers Movie Masterpiece MPM-10 Starscream

Both sites are offering a 10% deposit option and they're saying they expect Starscream to ship in September, but that can not be taken as a dead cert in this current climate.

Here are the links:

£144.97 - Kapow Toys (AllNewSuperRobot has pointed out that this price is expected to be altered, as is typical, to reflect ID Toys pricing at some point)

£139.99 - ID Toys

Check out our other news stories to see more images of this latest addition to the Movie Masterpiece line and a video showing off his features!

Will any of you UK fans be getting this fantastic looking Starscream? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

"Exclusive" or not, all MPM found their way to Amazon or Mandarake sooner or later. And like all MPM figures, they inevitably come on sale at some point.

I know my Toys R Us won't deliver because of their Quebec prejudice. So I'll bid my time.



Truth. I will never again buy a MPM at release time. Every. Single. One. has been found on Amazon later down the road at half off or better.

You'll bid your time? I know they say time is money, but I didn't realize you could literally use it as currency that way :P :-D

In a way, yes. I bid that this MPM will get a wide release like all others and will be easy to get on sale.

Heck, MPM Ironhide is available from both Toys R Us and Amazon for 63$CAN right now. So the same thing will happen to screamer.

Always, you should see how much they are charging for Walmart's Netflix burnt toast magnus.

But Screamer is the first to be exclusive no? That would change your strategy a bit. Just ask how those americans are doing who bided their time with RedWing.

I wonder who will distribute Screamers officially in Canada. Because as much that I like the guy, no freaking way am I dropping nearly 400 freaking Canadian dollars on a MPM figure.

Pretty sure it would be toysrus, though that could mean "No Ship to Quebec for You!"

Of course.
So far, all the MPM have been TrU "exclusives" and all of them found themselves at Amazon.ca. There's also Mandarake, where I bought my MPM Jazz. So if TrU don't want my money, my money will go elsewhere. ¯\_(⏓ヘ⏓)_/¯

Thanks to the Takara Tomy Twitter page, we have some more in hand images to share with you today for the upcoming Transformers Movie Masterpiece MPM-10 Starscream! MPM-10 Starscream is a brand new mold that captures the essence of the on screen character extremely well, and includes a lot of cool features such as all of his weapons, a ton of posability, and some intricate and well sculpted detailing.

Starscream will be a Target exclusive in the US and will retail for around $150. Takara's release will be a regular retail item that will price out around 20,000 yen (roughly $185 USD). We can expect the newest member of the MPM family to see release this fall.

Check out the images below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

It doesn't look that much better from the old leader class figure. I'll keep my leader class figure.

Proof that the old Leader is a Masterpiece on it's own.
I preordered him on Amazon.JP
https://www.amazon.co.jp/?tag=seibertron00-22&トランスフォーマー-マスターピース-ムービーシリーズ-MPM-10-スタースクリーム/dp/B088CBY2ZG/ref=pd_rhf_eetyp_p_img_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=7N91DR9YXW0V932QFSS1

Item Subtotal:
¥ 13,965
Shipping & Handling:
¥ 1,505
Import Fees Deposit:
¥ 2,128

Order Total:
¥ 17,598


Even with the taxes and shipping, it's around 122$CAN cheaper at Amazon.jp than the alternative, Age 3 And Up: https://www.agesthreeandup.ca/collectio ... starscream
And that's NOT counting the taxes and shipping from them! :shock:

Anyway, I can see the engineering is much more advanced and is much more screen accurate on the MPM.
Still, I will never, ever sell my good old HFTD Leader Starscream. I really want the old leader and the new MPM to be side-by side on my shelf.

I have a question that's a bit off-topic. :???:

With all the 3Ps' making different versions of Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime, is there any word on an official Hasbro/Takara version of Bumblebee Movie MASTERPIECE Optimus Prime? I'd like a larger version, with perhaps some chrome detailing & larger in size.

If & when HasTak makes one, I'd hate importing it from Asia & having to wait weeks/months for packages. I'd rather order from BBTS, TFSource, Entertainment Earth, or Amazon(Direct), than from overseas.

If you order it from Amazon.JP, it seem you'll receive it as quickly if not faster than if you bought it from BBTS and such. There will also be a heavy price difference.
Amazon.JP use DHL and they seem to have struck an insane deal.
