I too had to put Perukill aside in order to get other things such as this guy and with how amazing he looks it hurts real bad. But alas, that's the hobby in a nutshell for anyone who ins't swimming in money for dumb things  

Huh come to think of it both he and Galaxy are spiritual brothers in a sense, the very first mps of their kind to come from third parties. Them along with Masterpiece Primal last year finally getting this hobby's mps out of the G1-only rut its been in for way way too long.

 

Agreed 100%

 

Actually, it's just Starscream. It's the TRU exclusive version that came with an unchanged Vector Prime, but it wasn't called anything special. Only Optimus and Vector Prime's redecoes got the name Galaxy Force. The colours also aren't random at all, but a straight up inversion of his original colours, swapping red for silver, and silver for maroon.

Pretty much the only reason I'm passing on this. For now. If I can find a good Canadian retailer down the road I will, but I'm in no rush especially with Lockdown right around the corner.

So close....

 

I've never heard of this site before; how reliable are they?

I still have my preorder in at BBTS but i'm exploring all possible options...

 

Did they ever release Voyager class Galaxy Force Starscream in his original colors in the US?

The transformation is pretty similar for both. As you said, the paint and articulation are much much better on the Maketoys version. I was considering buying the YOTH version of Supreme Class Starscream a couple years ago, but glad I never did and got this instead.

 

i like that skywarp deco

 

Nope, and that's why I was happy that my impatience for the Hasbro toyline prompted me to buy a few of the Galaxy Force figures, because I ended up with the better deco that way.

Same thing with Vector Prime, and to a smaller degree Galaxy Convoy.

 

One of Maketoys official seller. very reliable.
This is why they likely get MT products faster than other retailer.
But their operation base is in Hong kong so remark shipping cost to US is high.

 

I stand corrected. Though I'd still call that a pretty random colour scheme, as it's not that of any other Seeker. (I guess it's almost Thrust?)

I wish I could find Galaxy Force Vector Prime (not Cybertron "Galaxy Force Vector Prime," GOSHDANGIT EBAY SEARCH RESULTS), but at the same time, the one I have now is the same one I had in my childhood. I picked up Galaxy Convoy a couple years ago, and while the paint differences are minor, every US version I see has ridiculously floppy wings (the Japanese version has the wings pinned in, but the US version just friction-tabs them).

Of course, now MakeToys is doing Galaxy Manus, so I'll probably replace Galaxy Convoy with that in a year or two.

 

My main HK seller, buy almost all my 3p stuff from them these days. Very reliable but shipping will be higher for americans.

I also wouldn't worry about it, tfs n bbts will have him soon enough.

 

Sadly no, due to the fact that they were trying to sell the Supreme version.

The transformation should be similar IMO, because there was nothing wrong with it. Cybertron had some awesome designs that, at most, need minor proportional and articulation tweaks to bring them up to modern standards, but otherwise were awesome at delivering awesome robot and alt mode designs with their transformation schemes.

 

Such a sexy sumanabitch.



Soon....soon he will be mine.  

 

They're good, they're just based in Hong Kong so shipping can be expensive and take awhile.

Although, I happen to be in Shenzhen right now, which isn't really all that far from Hong Kong. I do believe I'll pay them a visit...

 

Correct, NA retailers should be getting him very soon.
