    Are they actually different or is the grey/blue contrasts making them appear different. You know, same as this circle is the same colour on both backgrounds:

    White dress/blue dress etc.

    They are totally different, in the photos it is less noticeable but the Starscream cabin is much more orange.

    Fair enough. I could have cropped out samples from both in the picture to test the theory but it was more fun just to speculate. :)

    That IS his face sculpt tho? All 3 season 1 seekers faces were exactly the same. Why would his be any different? Unless your talking about his facial expression.

    Dang, that is a fantastic, simple idea—especially for those of us who don’t want to mess with painting. Looks really good! I’ll definitely be ripping off your idea.

    Had to go out and hunt for Thundercracker today since the cargo ships are still anchored off coast. Thundercracker is 100% perfect. I'm going to call him Scrooge because his joints are so tight.

    Thundercracker has some really tight joints. Quite the opposite of Starscream in many respects. I’m loving this release and the blue is magnificent.

    So now that it's 11/7 GameStop hasn't provided an updated date on when they will ship Thundercracker.

    Since the 7th is a Sunday, I wasn't expecting any new information about shipping. I'm thinking tomorrow.

    Yeah, me too :) 

    BBTS still hasn't had their stock come yet. I still think it's just a delay getting the stock in.
