Masterpiece Starscream on preorder at toysrus.com

Who scream? We scream for Starscream!

Toys R Us online around 2:30AM put Starscream on preorder! This is great news for collectors who want the chance of getting this Masterpiece. At this price it is the BEST opportunity to get him at $59.99! Which probably means we can expect to see him in Toys R Us retail stores towards the ending of this month. Hunters can expect to be able to use Coupons and their Thursday 10% discounts which can drop the price to as low as $40. (25% and a 10% off using your TRU Credit Card.)

On another note – He seems to have sold out on the preorders, but I would expect to see this come back for a short times here and there.

Australia Toyfair 2015 – Rumors

A recent leakage / release has noted several REALLY interesting rumors. We can count that our wallets this year are going to see a very light feeling in our pockets…

Generations Devastator on display with my Gen1 Devastator – BigW already signed up for June/July.

More JP Masterpiece coming this year – Gold bumblebee July, Convoy reissue, Tracks (not MP25), MP25 in Sept (I can’t reveal name before TakaraTomy), and two new “sports cars” for OCT & NOV.

Platinum edition – Myer will have Seeker pack and YOTG pair… while ToysRUs will have Insecticon pack, Perceptor/Blaster, Trypticon, aaaaand…. Dinobots. YES, Gen1 Dinobots multipack which I hope is all five.

JP Stinger still for this month, only at TRU though.

GEN Slingshot & Wildrider don’t exist (yet) for Hasbro Generations, but might next year as Combiners are going to be at least two years.

Leader Starscream for wave 4.

Hasbro MP Starscream is the second (MP11) version because fans wanted it.
Hasbro MP Bluestreak will be in July.

Toyworld’s cheaper prices were indeed just introductory prices from Hasbro.

Loyal Subjects w3 should be out in the next month.

An important note this is Australia in the United States or other Countries may not see the same releases. We do know that Devastator (Fall) & MP Starscream are definitely slated. Leader Starscream DOES make sense because we are getting a Thundercracker (Jetfire re-used mold.) Platinum Edition Seekers does seem interesting as the seekers..

G1 reissues here have been an ever common thing for Hasbro and Takara to do.  It would not surprise me to see Trypticon and (Insecticons as these are already out and about.)

It is pretty clear Trypticon, Insecticons are definitely getting a reissue. Dinobots is a big surprise here. I know I have been waiting personally for this, as most G1 Dinobots can go for $20-$80 a piece. (Lots being around $250+) (condition is a and all accessories adds to the price greatly!)

Let the excitement begin!

Starscream 2015 releases

Starscream may be getting some additional love this year with two releases.

  •  Leader class (Reusing Jetfire / Thundercracker mold)
  • MP TRU exclusive.

We have some new rumors coming around the net from Seibertron, Allspark, and TFW2005. Entries for Starscream and even further rumored Thundercracker MP’s! We can only cross our fingers as the last time these seekers were in store they were Walmart Exclusives 5 years ago.

Currently we know that we are getting a re-use of the Jetfire mold (Thundercracker!) which could be easily re-colored to be Starscream. Additionally some have said they have seen some new listings in TRU’s systems for Starscream that may lead to a MP release.

The news broke accidentally by TRU Australia – Instead of Transformers Armada Megatron description we get Starscream:

SKN: 84473
Starscream commands one of the most fearsome military units from Cybertron: the Seekers. The squadron has brought him great power and glory, but that means nothing as long as Megatron is the one who rules the Decepticons. Until Starscream can claim that throne, he will have to be content to be king of the Seekers.
The war between Autobot and Decepticon rages on, and with Starscream in the fight, the action gets more intense all the time! This awesome Starscream figure is a massive force for evil in robot mode with a blaster on each arm and an appetite for destruction. But when it’s time for a screaming air assault, he converts to jet mode! Get ready for a whole new generation of Transformers mayhem with this incredible Starscream figure!

It would be a big year for Starscream getting a leader edition AND a re-release of his MP mold. I know I would be extremely happy especially if the MP is not the Ghost version…

Product code for MP Starscream:

Trnsfrmrs Mstpc Strscrm
Item: 376475
Vendor Style: B4702

To complete this year, it would be great to see MP Thundercracker also released to go with his Combiner Wars Leader class.
