    I'm already assuming it's gonna be impossible to get just like slaughter was. Any idea when the regular skystriker is supposed to be released?

    did they ever announce what was this year's sdcc transformers exclusive?

    it would have been cool if they did a new mold and starscream could transform. whoa.

    Sometime in the fall I imagine. With the Transformers Prime toys.

    Its just that its the big vehicle of the 2011 GIJOE Mainline. Along with that Renedgades style Osprey at bravo class.

    Dude that looks so cool.

    I only have like 3 GI joe firues sadly their all from rise of cobra. I'm not sure if i could justify getting at it for the price but it would be cool to own.

    Chris Latta would be proud.

    Looks really cool, but not buy worth for me. Though if I was a Joe fan, or a bigger Starscream fan I would definitely get it.

    I'll be at SDCC, early too. But I doubt I'll pick this up since it doesn't transform. If it did, it'd soooo be mine.

    i don't get it, why is the starscream one $80, and the regular one is only $30? lol

    is the price ALL the box?

    or is hasbro just trying to double their profit with the con exclusive, again? :lol

    Cool thx. I just hope it's not a store exclusive or anything like that.

    I don't even wanna think what price they'll have it for.

    well its an exclusive plus you get a Cobra commander repaint plus a little Megatron gun so I guess you could put it down to that... even if material cost wise the difference is next to nothing unless their remoulding CC and megs is a new mould all together.

    What interests me is the fact that its all marked at a joe toy when it comes to website links and other such markings.... maybe at Botcon will will see a TF with a joe link?

    I'd be game for a tf toy repainted as a joe item as a spin off to this joe toy getting the TF colours...

    but really Hasbro... give us the Joe TF spin off movie we have always dreamed of you know it feels right

    well theirs no offical word on what the TF SDCC item is and given the link between the 2 items this might be a joint exclusive I guess at Botcon we will find out what it is.

    Saying that I could be wrong and this could be the coolest year for SDCC ever

    Comicon is sold out. It sucks so bad. And I live here lol. This exclusive is going to be so hard to get. I'm currious to see how much it'll go for in the secondary market.
