The only amazon Japan link I can find is from a seller that doesn't ship to my country. Anyone have a link to a seller that will ship to the US, or has it just not been listed on amazon Japan at this time?

 

How much does HLJ usually add on for shipping?

 

Give it a couple of days? Maybe not even that long,just check periodically. The listing should eventually shift to fulfilled by Amazon g.k.

 

Doesn’t look like the horizontal stabilizers will be easy to knock out of position, unlike MP-03/11, thank goodness! Hope I’m right. I noticed a major improvement over MP-03/11 is how compact the robot mode is. YMMV but it’s impressive to me how there’s not a lot of jet kibble really sticking out in robot mode this time.

I didn’t think this was possible almost 20 years ago when the MP line started development.

I also hope future mainline Starscreams take note from the MP Starscreams with the null ray attachments in robot mode! MP-03/11/52 do it right since they attach to the biceps, which easily enable the figures to pose aiming the null rays, compared to the likes of Earthrise Starscream for example. Since the mainline toys have started to take on some MP influence, please copy the null ray bicep attachment!

The real canopy beneath the faux canopy also has a neat way of reflecting light that can visually fake you out if you look close, while possibly obscuring the ejection seat. That’s neat to me.

 

This thread is like greased lightning. Hoping for another round of Starscreams on AJ.

 

Cool! Just noticed this image shows off the null rays being disconnected from the arms and the back of the upper arms swiveled to sit close to the jet body for that clean wing look. Exactly as I had speculated earlier.

 

The bottom of the alt mode is detailed to look exactly like cartoon Starscream's jet undercarriage. Look back 100 pages or ask @chchchch or @Sam they will show you in picture detail most likely.  

Even at 22,900?

 

Got an order in at AmiAmi. Oddly took forever, it kept saying there was high traffic on their site, which I assume was due to StarScream  

 

Fellow Aussie, Starscream is up for pre-order at both EB Games AU and Zingpopculture for a whopping $499 AUD with a $50 AUD deposit and it's expecting to be out on 30th of June 2021.

I don’t pay too much attention to Transformers sales but I doubt it. Most popular items sell out pretty quick, especially when it’s getting to the point where the website is noticeably slowed down....Like minutes or seconds but Starscream has been available all day at Amiami and still is.

 

I just put in an order at Amiami. Slow as dirt but I have a Starscream on the books.

 

So this guy looks awesome. I pre ordered him... but why doesn't he have a waist swivel? I suspected this has been debated endlessly, but then it's 2020 and it has been shown that seekers can have one.

 

I made MP Ghost , Dead , Toy accurate Starcsream.

 

The Amiami price was decent so took the plunge, even though I’m happy enough with the previous version. For only slightly more than Hound it seemed a good deal.

for me it’s almost too cartoony, looking like a giant RED figure, but certain poses look really good. Guess the proof will be in the pudding.

I still say Newage is the Seeker to beat, and it’s already up on points thanks to a much more toon-accurate back and a waist swivel!

 

This makes me realise, I might have pre ordered too soon. I should wait for the ghost version.

 

I don’t see no mold on this figure of toy new add ones are ok nothing special about them

 

When you remember, Starscream isnt even the most visually appealing seeker.

 

Anime Export pre-orders open:
