    Rando shots. Finally got around to Starscream mode - I love it! Only thing is it makes the longing for a new MP Starscream even more painful! I can almost taste Starscream v3 now!

    Good grief I love this guy! Very blessed to have two copies - best $650 I ever spent on this hobby!

    Okay so I get you’re meant to slide the stacks down, but could you keep them up in robot mode?

    You don't own MP-44 yourself I guess? The stacks don't slide up nor down. ;)

    Oh right, I think I just told myself that they did. That probably happened on another figure.

    How you can see that headsculpt in person and not want a new Starscream is beyond me. I was pleasantly surprised how good it looked when I got him in hand.

    I think you read it wrong. He absolutely wants a new Starscream. I think most of us do now

    I know he does:D , more a comment to those booing a new Starscream. There was a whole YouTube video about where new seekers shouldn't happen.

    I don't know, if your happy enough with what you have that you can say pass on a new one, should a new really bother you? It's been a thing for a while, the whole "no new seekers", "seeker fatigue", "nobody wants to replace their seekers", yes in fairness people have sunk money in their seekers. At the same time if they make something worth getting my money, I buy it, if not I pass.

    As far as price, yeah they probably will be expensive, but thats how their market operates.

    Look I won’t put anyone down for needing a new Starscream, I need it as well. But at the same time, it’s a daunting thing. I just don’t want it cause what if the line just gets clogged with a new seeker mould. Maybe if they released it at the very end of the season 2 line up I’d be okay. But I just want everyone else done.

    Mine was missing the rifle as well. It also appeared to be double taped.

    I took them out of here, and I adapted them according to the size I needed.
