Wow! That looks beautiful! Will look amazing next to my Custom MP – Thundercracker!! Yes!!

Eh, since I was never able to get a hold of the US release of Starscream, may as well pick up Skywarp when he comes out instead. Be cheaper that way. Plus I like the colorscheme on him.
Mechafire
Nice.
Runamuck
Agreed. WTF, Hasbro.
REDLINE
which makes no sense, as this one is decorated up to be more accurate, and he had purple feet.
Backstop
I very much like!
PoweredConvoy
They're dark gray like the Japanese.

arrrrgh stupid silver feet still!

Look at the in package pics… you can't see the spots on the wing where it's darker then the rest of it?
Makes them look dirty in my opinion. If they'd stop that, he'd be SOLD.

YES YES YES! MUAHAHAHHAHA
Finally.

I'm certain he is. Which shouldn't be a problem with this figure as he's already all black. Every picture shows him without weathering (which would have to be gray or silver). Hopefully Hasbro is past the weathering their Masterpiece figure phase, as Skywarp seems to be decoed by someone different than the person who did their Starscream (but takes cues from SS).

If the supply and distribution is as bad as the Starscream was you'd be better off asking friends on the board who live close to many Walmarts rather then driving the distance on the chance of finding him.

When this comes out, my parents will be wondering why I'm visiting so much. I'll never tell them that the four hour drive will let me hit about 8 walmarts in one day.

Is he referring to the type of weathering we saw with WM Starscream?
PoweredConvoy
The toy is molded in black, how is it going to have a black wash?

I would also add the type of purple that was used. Takara's looks more like grape, whereas Hasbro's is more like the G1 toon and toy.

(from Cinematastique in another MP Skywarp thread)
Changes from Takara deco I've noticed:
1) Painted apps
2) Changed wing stripes
3) NO shoulder stripes
4) NO Chest stripes on the intakes
5) NO paint on the inside of the hip kibble
6) NO Forearm stripes
7) PURPLE tailfins, instead of black
8) SILVER shoulder spires, instead of black
9) ADDED paint apps on the inside of the shoulder spires
10) CHANGED missile deco
-Also, the Right-side-up Decepticon insignia are inconsistent with WalScream; his were upside-down. Also, the wing stripe pattern is different; WalScream had the Takara MP-style wing stripes.
All-in-all, the Takara version has a MUCH more elaborate deco. What the US version does have, though, are painted apps instead of decals, and added paint on the shoulder spires. The tradeoff seems negligible for Takara SW owners, since more deco is deducted than added.
