I would push a many old ladies down a many flights of stairs to get my hands on that piece.
Me too. Eventually I’ll buy an anime Starscream off Ebay and use the crown on him though.
Ah yeah!!! BBTS has pre-orders for the cape and crown set for $14.99. Comes in traditional colors and Skywarp colors!

SIXSHOT!!!
and you get get the anime Screamer WITH the coronation kit goodies for 100 bucks… insert megatron evil laugh
I would throw children around like rag dolls to get one myself.
I PMed the guy that made it to see if he’d be interested in selling, but he says he keeps all his customs.
Can’t say I don’t blame him. That Ultra Magnus he created is amazing, and it’s creation was dedicated to a forum member that passed away so there’s probably some sentimental value added to it.
This is true
Does anyone know where this Ultra Magnus head mold originated from? I don’t know my Ultra Magnus toys very well.
WHOA HO! That’s sweet! I never thought BBTS would get this since they didn’t have the Cliffjumper mod! Thanks for the heads up!

Omg they have the Skywarp one too. :amazed:
PS. Where did you see $14.99? :sad:
That might be a Myclone head, which a lot of people recommend for smaller style Magnus customs.
You mean … this?
I don’t think he used this head for this custom, but I never thought of using that head, that’s not a bad idea.
PsychoSquall - Do you have the original link or thread to that UM? I have an extra Classics UM here and I REALLY want to make an attempt.
EDIT: Found it - here.
He said he modified the head that came with it and also used Classic Jetfire’s. He’s not quite clear on exactly what he did but I somewhat have an idea.
Sweet, thanks. I really like that mod. Good luck if you decide to attempt it.
Oi, for the ones that are planning to get those Starscream/Skywarp crown sets, you better pre-order it now. The price jumped from $14.99 to $19.99 and now $24.99.
Just a heads up.
:sad:
That is soooo tempting, but I don’t know if a thirty second appearance makes it worth $25. =\
So, I guess the $6,000 green Unicron (lucky draw) that only has 10 seconds of screen time is out too?
(oh, wait, it’s discounted to below $5,000 now, such a deal!)
:wgrin:
Holy shit, it jumped up $10.00??? I don’t think I can pay $25.00 for that then, no matter how much I want a cape and crown for Greenscream. The damn toy cost me 1/4 of that price, that’s ridiculous. I’ll see if anyone else is pre-ordering for cheaper.
That’s fucking gay (the price jump that is).
For those that don’t know…
BBTS has a pricing system that pretty much automatically raises prices as their stock depletes.
If they have 1 of a fairly popular item, it’s not uncommon for the price of that 1 item to be 4 or 5 times retail.
You’d think it would bother people?
Nope.
Look through their vintage Armada and Energon stuff and see what things are actually selling for…
LoL at that $90 Armada Skywarp
Also, how is Tidal Wave $40 when he’s loose, missing an entire arm, minicon, and missile?
Heh, actually, that price is *no *surprise.
Limited US release, NO Japanese release.
Well, the Skywarp is less surprising since I’ve seen a high price tag for it on eBay (although not close to $100).
That broken Tidal Wave is more of a surprise.
