There's also a lot of swivel joints in their "car" modes so you may have Novastar misaligned.

 

I gave that a second and third go and no help. It's so odd.

 

You could pop the wheels off and check for mold flash.

 

Amazon.com had some this morning.

 

Amazon.com has POTP Novastar on sale for $16.99.

i nabbed one! woo! thanks

(this happened a bit earlier than this is posted. i just forgot to post....)

 

See guys... she's pretty easy to find now.

No one should have resorted to feeding eBay.

See my post in the NJ sightings... TONS of availability.

sold out already ? that sucks guess I have to wait for takaras to come out

 

Yes, surprisingly got Novastar in the mail today from Amazon!

With her protege (and no longer merely a stand-in) Flare Up:



The Autobot Cybertron Resistance (need Lancer and Greenlight!)

 

You marvelous human being! Link's Awakening reference rocks!

 

It finally arrived here. The first week, peeps went gaga over her.
The following week, stocks of Novastar went normal. Easy spot.
No need to rush.

 

Found Novastar at my local Walmart in Mayagüez, PR. Didn't buy her because I can wait a week or 2 and save a couple of dollars.

 

I found one in Miami on Friday. Was the only one. Happily canceled my takara preorder.

 

Got mine from Amazon yesterday (Labor Day! Not even a business day!) I heart you Amazon!

 

Got my Novastar from Amazon just now. So happy not to have to try tracking her down in store.

 

Anyone have any cool fanmodes to help differentiate Novastar from Moonracer?

 

you could always use the prime armor on one but not the other

 

Live and instock on Amazon right now.

 

Backpack on Nova? Skirt down on moonracer?

 

Obtaining one of these is such a pain in the buthooki.
