Ack. I am very torn on US MP Screamer.
I have Olive Starscream, but the catch is that it was a Christmas present. I want the G1-accurate colored version, but I can’t exactly dump my Christmas present for it. I also don’t have the painting skills to turn Olive Screamer into Thundercracker or anything like that.
Ah, what to do…
I hope that one day in the future, they’ll come out with toys that can transform by themselves.
I just bought a loose G1 Abominus for $91.00 with S&H. But the seller has sweetened the deal. One of the figures that connects to form Abominus had its connector pin broken so the seller threw in doubles of 4 out of 5 Terrorcons and agreed to reduce the price by $10. I’d almost be getting 2 Abominus sets for $81.00. I could probably fix the broken figure especially since he gave me a back-up.
:wow: I’m gonna have to keep an eye out for this.
anyone know if it’s only at Wal-mart or is it going to be available at other retailers.
I found a leader prime last night and OMG is it nice. It makes voyager prime look like trash.
Ah… nostalgia for me… I saved up enough money to buy all the Terrorcons back when I was a kid (took me some time though), but the thrill of having the only complete gestalt on the block was priceless…
from SMB:
US Starscream is a Wal-Mart exclusive (bastards). The price is excellent but refuse to buy anything that is one of their store exclusives. I’m happy with my MP-04 Starscream, thank you.
I fI ever did find myself owning this version, I’d have the other painted so that he looks like Sunstorm.
ReproLabels has a custom set of stickers to make your Masterpiece Skywarp have G1-era decals. I think he looks better in the default classy superblack edition, but – if I was tempted, some of you might be too. Hell, if they had a US Skywarp for $50, I’d probably buy the stickers and have one of each. 
I might get some decals for my custom figures.
Well fuck… looks like I’ll have to go to wal-marts on my lunch break/on the way home to find this one.
Hopefully I can snag one before the E-bay scalpers do.
They’ve already started, of course. One seller in Texas (first sighting) has 10 of them on eBay now.
I hope my town doesn’t have those gay Walmarts that aren’t up to date with everyone else. I’m checking to see if they have him. What’s the usual day during the week when new toys are stocked? You know, like Tuesdays for DVDs and CDs.
Thursdays from what I was told by an associate. Then again, I check everyday via phone.
Who here has a Myspace?
Mine is www.myspace.com/striderec. Send an add request if you want and I’ll do the same.
I went to Walmart in hopes of coming across an MP Starscream, but I came across an Ultimate Bumblebee packaged with Deluxe Scorponok and Brawl. He runs for $79 if anyone is interested.
I don’t think you should hold the exclusive thing over anything. The $50 price point is excellent. I picked up two myself - I’m going to open one of them in my office a bit later. :lovin:
From SMB:
Sorry Javi, this mech refuses to support Wal-Mart in every way. Fuck that corporation in its eye. I’ve already passed on buying Alternator Rumble and Ravage, and as great as that price is for MP Starscream, nothing will make me purchase any of their products.
I picked up Masterpiece Starscream on my lunch today. Man the pics of it do not do it justice at all. I especially like that it has 2 heads. One is the standard head you see on all the seekers the second is his trademark grin. It’s in my car right now and I can’t wait to get home and pop this thing open.
When you all are finding these, are they plentiful? or are there just 1 or 2 on the shelf?
There was probably 5 or 6 of them on the shelf when I went to wal-mart today. I should have waited until next week but I wasn’t going to risk it not being there either.
from SMB:
smart move. everyone and their cousins (except me) are looking for this figure. I want to hear comparisons between this and the original.
“Hi, welcome to Walmart.”
"*Where *is Masterpiece Starscream?"
“We don’t have it.”
“You fail me yet again, Walmart. Order it!”
p.s. I wish Walmart would stop dedicating shelf space to those fucking Transformer-Star Wars crossovers.
