    Because the same seller is selling Masterpiece Starscream Takara USA Edition (the G1 colored) MISB, which I think has a additional Decepticon logo on the nose cone and that's all?

    I am also hunting for Henkei Thundercracker, Thrust, Ramjet and Dirge but they are all in the range of 90$~120$ MISB. Over-priced or a good deal?

    Sounds about right for Ghost Screamer. The others as well, except for Ramjet. Ramjet shouldn't top $45 CND. I bought mine just this past weekend for $35 USD at a local import TF shop.

    I see.

    I forgot to ask if there been any report of Ghost Starscream having QC problems like Henkei Skywarp and Thundercracker?

    My Henkei SC is perfect but Skywarp has a lot of paints problem (mostly silver paints on purple parts), the missile launcher on his left shoulder is a little bit loose.

    Starscream has zero problems! Don't worry about it, go and pick him up asap. Oh and don't pay 110 for it.... that is a bit to much.

    $110 seems high to me.

    It's been a while since I've had MP Starscream on display, but I'm pretty sure there was no additional Decepticon logo on the nosecone. The difference between the Takara and Hasbro versions of MP Starscream are the colours and that's it, if I'm remembering correctly. No additional markings on Starscream though.

    Hell for $100 US plus shipping I'll sell you Ghost Starscream and throw in the TF Generations Volume 2 book that it came from.

    I meant to say I was comparing Takara's G1 colored MP SC to Hasbro's G1 colored MP SC. My brother have both and Takara's added a Decepticon logo on the nose cone to make it more G1 accurate.
