    So it seems some people are replying as if we've seen an actual picture of Skywarp's toy. The only pic I see is FOC Starscream next to an in game model of Skywarp. Am I missing something?

    Also, ow. My grammar...

    the reason i don't want starscream is i hate gray plastic more than anything. but i like the mold. so i would be much more inclined to get skywarp.

    Pre-ordered on Skywarp. Here's hoping that Hasbro releases Thundercracker.

    And thus, with a click and a yawn, I trudge halfheartedly to order yet another Seeker version. It is far from the first and far from the last. But completing the set has become an obligation that resets with each new line. Like a good collector, I dutifully place my orders, but it's hard to whip up the enthusiasm anymore.

    Seeker Angst... the Firstiest of First-World Problems. :)

    Your sig is appropriate.

    There's just something about Cybertronian designs that makes them so attractive ->(aesthetically)-> to me. I'm going to have to buy EVERYTHING. Takara exclusives really, really suck, though. I want to have a cohesive looking line, and having ol' shiny paints Skywarp next to the Hasbro toys will annoy the shit out of me.

    Also, paying $49.99 for TFP imported voyager figures doesn't bother me that much, but $64.99 for FoC voyagers is pushing it...shiny paints be damned.

    Wonder how Skywarp will look like? It may look much better than Starscream in purple black colour

    That's a given, as Skywarp usually trumps Starscream in my opinion. But I'm heavily biased.

    I think these look great and look forward to them.
    I simply dont understand why some figures/redecos dont get released here; Prime Breakdown, Prime Ironhide, FOC Skywarp, etc... Wouldnt these do well over here too? It's so offputting sometimes.

    Skywarp is looking very awesome in that purple though I'd have preferred a bit more black personally.

    Purple overkill on Skywarp, and although a new head probably wasn't going to happen.... the sculpt just sticks out as Starscream.

    Prob still buying...but a bit more reluctantly now.
