Anyone know any Toys R Us stores in NSW who still have some of these in stock? I saw it once and bought leader brawl instead and now I'm kicking myself because leader brawl is everywhere but this guy is no where in sight :(

Good luck, you and I are in the same boat. I made the same mistake in not getting screamer when I was there. To date, I have been scouring TRU stores almost weekly in the hope they got some in for restock but without luck. TRU Moore Park, Miranda, Hurstville, Chatswood and Parramatta don't have him.

Although Starscream made an appearance in TRU in Adelaide :D. Who knows? Maybe he might show up in NSW.

I'm pretty sure he would be sold out all over Sydney by now. It's still possible to order the Japanese edition which is due out in about a month at a similar cost plus shipping.

None at TRU Penrith either, so dont waste a trip out there.

Hell there were only 3 out there when I got mine back in November.

I haven't been to a TRU this year, but damn - these things were common as chips before Xmas!

At Hurstville at least, it was quite apparent that they were selling fast.

I am VERY happy that I decided to buy first time.

Jono, I'd recommend Tober's HLJ suggestion.

yeah when i went there there was like 10 starscreams and 2 brawls so i got the brawl thinking i can get the starscream next time. Next time i go there its all cleared out of starscreams and theyve restocked on brawl D:

Onoj: I had a similar experience, only that I never wanted Leader Brawl... I came back a few days later and there were still plenty of MP Starscreams there ... I ermed and aahed about it for a while and finally caved in and bought one. But now hearing about how hard this toy's become to get, I'm mighty glad that I bought it when I did. I would also recommend going by the HLJ option. I betcha Takara's paints will look nicer.

That's a given.

I got the best looking paintjob of the lot at TRU Penrith, and it still is nothing to write home about.

Got a hasbro one from ebay for $114.50 (located in aus). Oh well not too much extra, could have been worse
