    As much as I want Skywarp in this mold. That would piss me off because of the price increase in reference to Thundercracker. However, Starscream would be great at this price.

    Considering how low MP Skywarp was being sold just a couple years ago, I doubt they will try releasing another one. Starscream on the other hand, was a good seller and a much more popular character.

    Yeah, I REALLY can't see Hasbro bringing back SW before Starscream. That just wouldn't make that much sense IMHO.

    I just returned from a TRU in Columbus Indiana. He looked at thier databas and said no TRU warehouse in the REGION has any left. According to him, Indiana didnt get any of the Primes. But get this, Lima OH got 12 so far. Whats up with that? He called around to about 1/2 dozen stores in the region and finally found me one in Woddbridge IL. Ships Monday for me so I should have it by the end of the week! Woo Hoo

    thats what people thought about hasbro mp tc and we got him before screamer ;)  just like some thought it didn't make sense them doing the mp11 mold instead of the old mp03 mold for hasbro tc ( which at the time was laughable )

    TC actually made a lot of sense, though, as he hasn't had a US release yet at all.

    If they're going to double-down anyway, you'd think they'd double down on the one that was actually successful.

    This. TC because he never had a US release, and MP-11 mold because it was the _current_ seeker mold.

    Anyway, SW sold crappy AND was more recently released AND is the less popular character.

    Like I said, how does it make more sense to Hasbro to release SW before Screamer? Not saying it can't or wouldn't happen but it would definitely be a head scratcher.

    A mod should put this in the main post, or in the thread title.

    I have the initial posting of it bookmarked, but it's not the easiest to find.
