    Mp-10 was the only one I wanted badly but like the others I just can’t see myself going after, mainly because the amount of fingerprints and paint chipping that I can see happening with these guys. Idk maybe I’m wrong

    This is our Golden Lagoon Starscream from the original POTP era release next to the most recent gold plastic figure, Black Roritchi.

    I'm not terribly interested in the Golden Lagoon set. However, I'm a little worried about Roritchi, what with him being gold.

    If you like Combiners, I say get him...but why not three? You would have GL Starcream, GL Thundercracker, and GL Skywarp. :D

    I got the first release to use as a limb with POTP Blastoff, POTP Dreadwind, POTP Blackwing, with CW Cyclonus... but he was too badass to be made into a limb, so a junkion was recruited instead. :p 

    Also, the fact that GL Starscream's 'gold' combiner hand/foot is now officially one of artifacts in the manga for Generations Selects God Neptune is a fun bonus.

    Gold plastic syndrome is not a typical issue with current day figures. I'm not worried about it at all with either of these figures.

    It's a Facebook video. Do you have Facebook (or Facebook's content network fbcdn.net) blocked?

    I got Starscream a fee years ago off of TFsource for $40. One of the only purchases I ever made with them, and I’ve been happy with him since. If you loved Combiner Wars and never owned a version CW Starscream, I’d encourage some to hop on it. Especially since he seems to have the best gold chrome to bare plastic ratio of the bunch. But then again, if you own Skydive, you already know what you are getting.



    A part of me also honestly wonders if this wasn’t in some way a “last hurrah” from Takara when it came to the chromed Lucky Draw figures, as those have halted since.

    People get so mad whenever a good quality non-transforming Transformer figure or kit gets announced, then this fragile, pointless and overpriced repaints get sold out in hours. Some times this is a really baffling fanbase to be a part of lol

    But hey, if you like them, go for it.
