Hasbro Officially Announces Masterpiece Starscream is a Wal-Mart Exclusive

"interchangeable heads"? The takara version has one head.. with 2 different faces..

It looks awsome.

i've got mp-03, but i will get this one.. maybe repaint thundercracker?

I hope this sells well, because it does maybe we can get MP Megatron (even if he is modified) or a good Skywarp and Thundercracker repaint.

Great now ill never find him.

ahem, walmart.com

That is why I may be buying myself a Wal-Mart gift card.

If it actually shows up on the site, half of the exclusive stuff does not.

I got two Devastators off there.

I'm sure there'll be plenty of Starscream. He'll be in far more demand than half the Exclusives so far combined.

Sweet! So glad I held out on the last version!

They'd better distribute him better than the last Wal-Mart exclusives, Alt Rumble and Alt Ravage. Those two were hard to find in stores.

That makes two of us. I am hoping Hasbro will do the same thing with Skywarp since it is looking like Takara did not learn their lesson with Starscream.

Score for Wal*Mart!

I love working there!

sooo how about Australia, we don't have Walmart...

Hmm sounds like your local Wal-Marts were hit pretty hard by those looking to make a quick buck on Ebay. Did you ever get a set?

Not toreiderate, but Wal-Mart sucks at exclusives!

Could be worse. Could've been a con exclusive.

SWWEEEEEEETTTTT

the wally world near me had like 20 of each. hoping they do the same with screamer

We get them in various stores. I got the Universe Ruination giftset at Target, for instance. I'm sure we'll see him around

Well this blows I really don't like wal-mart but I guess this is one thing I will have to buy from them. I hope it is worth it.

I can't wait for the release of this guy. I'm still not a big fan (at all) of the mold design, but he's a neat figure for the price.

Well then, what about UK fans?

I never could buy the takara one (Lack of credit/debit card...) and I highly doubt that Asda would have it, even if wal-mart is it's parent company...

Damn Skippy

Excellent news. My Walmart always gets exclusives in... Even if it takes an extra month. For instance, the Devestator set is now sitting on the shelves...As in it was just stocked for the first time last week.

Hopefully they'll have a ton of this fella and he'll go on clearance for like $30. I'd make a freaking killing selling them on ebay at a later date.

I might just have to take a job at Wal-Mart..

Don't EVER even joke about that.

hey muffin it's not THAT bad

Consider it a knee jerk reaction.

Can't wait to get this! Still glad I got my Takara one though (I want all the MPs).

I've been out of the TF loop for a while. Is this like 20th aniversary prime, but with starscream instead?

Nope, checked seven different stores over 2-3 months and didn't find anything (but I did find plenty of older Alts). I went through the same thing with Swerve and eventually got him online.

This is great. Exactly what I was waiting for. I just hope he makes it to the Canadian WalMarts.

I hope the packaging isn't the same as 20th primes, that packaging sucks royally!!! I liked the book style it was more collector friendly and didn't have the same stupid twist ties in them!!!

Can somebody post the link to this at Walmart, because
I have searched their site to no avail.

I sooo wish he would come with a crown and cape

I'm with ya there buddy.

That shit was gaudy as all get out.

God. Dammit.

Yet another exclusive I'll never see in the store.

well I just read the article, and yeah, there is no mention of a cape or crown. i think the interchangeable head just means the face turns like in MP-03. I will buy this one definitely seeing as how I missed out on the other Masterpieces.

I can't wait to display my Waspinator in front of the Masterpiece Starscream, like in that Beast Wars episode with him as a ghost.

MINE!

I've got ya covered.

Me and exclusives, we've got a thing.

I will be getting this.

I will be getting this too. If I am lucky I can pre-order him online from Wal-Marts. If not, then I will *sigh* be having to make a trip. A 10-13 mile trip on a bike. But he will be worth it though

If not, then I might be able to get him for Christmas instead if he is still on sale by then.

I used to have a thing with Exclusives...but they left me. ::sniff::

Much obliged, my friend.

I can't wait for this guy. I have no hesitation on paying full price for him. Will preorder him once he's available on Walmart.com.
