    If he’s an MP completionist he must have other rarities such as the three BAPE Primes and the exclusive Sideswipe variant - compared to those, a con exclusive should be easy to nab!

    I’m positive there will be a Hasbro Asia release.

    Exactly. Or one of the Japanese proxy sites.

    I have every MP except MP-01G (the gold lucky draw version of MP-01). Still have 2 MISB Green BAPEs that I thought I was getting hosed at for around $285...

    There is always a way. Just have to sometimes be resourceful and make sure you have purchase protection in case you get screwed on a transaction (AmEx is great for that sort of thing). I took a leap of faith on MP-711 from a newbie on this site and it worked out great (also got one from a proxy site just in case).

    In fact, the TT Mall exclusive EVA Convoy was one I nearly missed out on when TF Source lost their supply due to a shipping issue. Thankfully I was able to score one from BBTS before they increased the price. To TF Source’s credit, I kept the order in my stack and just a few months ago they received some stock of this figure (nearly 2 years after the fact) and sold it to me at the original price. They won me back as a customer because of that.

    Starscream doesn’t go up for preorder on the Takara Tomy Mall site until the 30th July, so if it follows the same timeline as the Autobot three-pack, it should go up for preorder on sites like Robotkingdom on or around the 1st of August.

    As soon as he does let me know because he'd make a perfect component for PotP Starscream.

    I’ve been trying to get ahead of one of those forever, but I don’t want Octane, just Starscream.
