TFW2005 member Primacronus has spotted the new Platinum Series Year of the Horse Starscream at US retail. The Year of the Horse Starscream is a redeco of the Transformers Cybertron Supreme Class Starscream, the largest Starscream toy ever made. The Year of the Horse Starscream was spotted at a Toys R Us store in Burbank, CA.
Happy hunting, everyone!

Is there a way we can un-find this figure? I'm still waiting for a new MP Starscream with Acid Storms mold.

Well color me surprised. I figured for being a seeker nut, you would jump on it for that price.

The same thing happened to me several times while trying to order MP Soundwave from their site. Not until I went into checkout that they said they were out of stock. I complained to them of course!

More over-priced, repaint garbage on behalf of Hasbro. I wouldn't pay the original $50 price tag when this lazy ass Starscream made it into retail, no way in hell I'd pay $120.00 for that.

Come on YOTH Optimus Prime,is time for you to show up yourself on the shelf,haha

TRU.com here, hopefully he gets fulfilled.
Agreed, surprisingly TRU didn't even carry him.

Yup, Friday I preordered OP from BBTS so….hopefully that badboy gets shipped out asap

CNY is this coming weekend, so he should be out very soon yeah!

I hate ordering through the website. I saw they had some MP Acid Storms in stock. Placed an order. The next day they cancelled it because they really didn't have any in stock. And only THEN did they update their website. Fuckers.
At any rate, the last time I saw on here that the Platinum UM was going for less, it was still $60 at the stores. Last month, they had 1 left. Last week when I went to the local TRU, they had 3 sitting there. Hmmmmm……I think at the point, the shelf will have UM's butt print on it since he's been sitting there that long.

i would agree… ill wait for the Clearance thread to pop up on one of the groups somewhere. and buy then…. its happened to every other platinum toy via TRU.com so why not this!!! 110 i think not…

I was on the fence about picking one up for shits n giggles. After seeing the pics. It's gonna be a
HELL
to the
NO.
I wouldn't. I'd rather spend the $10 on food. I'd enjoy that more….
Well then, something tells me there will be plenty for those who want one.

for the people whining that no parent will buy this.. get over it.. this is for collectors.. all MP, Platinum etc etc. are not for kids.. they are trying to appease the older fans who missed these.. idk why they chose this (there are a billion out there i would rather have) but it must be a requested one!!!!

Fixed that for you

When I bought Supreme Starscream, it was in store for $29.99. That was a steal apparently. Originals rock.

For a bargain $299!

I canceled my Starscream today from BBTS and checked right after and it didnt show in stock. I know around a week ago optimus had over 100 left and starscream had over 200 left.

At $10 I'd be all over it. That's cheaper than a deluxe

$109.99US must mean $139.99 Canadian. HA!!!
I like the Voyager class size of the figure, but I'd only pay $30 for it max.
What so "Year of the Horse"-y about this figure? I understand with Optimus you can paint a design on the trailer, but I don't understand.
Is it the color scheme?
From the pics it doesn't look like it adds anything from the original, only newer packaging.
At this rate, I'm calling it now:
Year of the Tiger (2022) = Beast Machines Supreme Cheetor repaint

I noticed a while ago that OP and SS were both 'Sold Out'. It actually seems a little strange to me. It's almost as if they just didn't want to take anymore orders as opposed to running out. Makes me think that production numbers were cut or something along those lines. But maybe that's just me being paranoid.

Wow, BBTS preorders are sold out.
