    How much is this estimated to go for? I've been wanting a MP Starscream but it was always had around 200 which feels like too much.

    Thundercracker and the other mp seekers went for $80, Starscream likely will too.

    No, they were $60, $70, and $75.

    But we're all guessing $80 for Starscream.

    Thought I was the only one who likes the ailerons/flaps up on the Seeker bots...

    The regular retail TRU price for Acid Storm and Sunstorm was $80 once fully released and on TRU.com. Might have been $5-10 cheaper at initial release at some locations but that was not the MSRP.

    Glad I got the takara version, I prefer the grey nosecone. I will however see if there's any update in pricing/release date next time I'm at work.

    Ironically a re-release was the most exciting reveal.

    How ironic. Years ago, people would've went bonkers for a blue nosecone. But now that everyone's already spent $200 plus on a grey nosecone, that one is instantly better. Crazy world.

    Actually, I pick cartoon accurate over toy accurate whenever possible, cost usually isn't a factor. The moment takara releases a thundercracker with a blue nosecone, my TRU version will be moved to a different shelf.

    that guy just always happened to prefer a grey nosecone?

    Luckily the grey nosecone option has been provided already. I am awaiting the blue nosecone and scalpers be hanged, I'll have that traitor.

    He looks great especially for a Hasbro release, much better than the Thundercracker release even shitty posing and mis-transformation can't ruin this guy, I have the TT version and I prefer the grey nose cone, however had I missed out on the TT version I'd be all over this.

    I just couldn't pay $200 for Coronation Starscream. I can't for Asia Skywarp either. The Hasbro releases will help me out greatly.

    I really, really wish both Hasbro and Takara could make up their minds on the orientation of the Decepticon insignias. I don't care if they are upside down or not, but stick to one or the other already.

    I don't understand why people get so nitpicky about minute meaningless details. It looks just like the Takara version to me. Blue or grey nose cone isn't a deal for me. I like it. I have MP 11 but will to to latch on to one of these as well. Can never have TOO many Starscreams.
