View Full Version : MP Skywarp in AUS, and Movie Seekers (Skywarp/Ramjet).

Sighted at Toyworlds by Sutton and tinyJazz is Masterpiece Skywarp, for $98/99.

Also found by tinyJazz at a Myer are the Movie Seekers we were expecting in August - Skywarp (redeco of TF1 Thundercracker) and Ramjet (redeco of TF1 Starscream), for $79 each! (ouch)

Prices are a bit steep, but were probably locked in (on their way from the factory) before the AU$ gained its recent value.

Places like Robotkingdom have MP Skywarp for US$65 (about AU$73), and Movie Seekers for US$76 for the pair (about AU$43 each) PLUS SHIPPING.

You probably won't save that much with a group order from them, as they don't sell by the case with those figures. You might save a little on shipping, but they are pretty big figures, so probably wouldn't get more than a set of the three in one shipping box anyway.
And by the time you organise a group order, the items might be sold out.
Post a request in the group orders section, but if you don't get any takers within a few days, just go for it yourself so you don't miss out.

Surely the departments stores will sell skywarp eventually.

That's a good price for MP Skywarp. Also interesting to see that he was spotted at Toyworld considering that MP Starscream was a TRU exclusive here.

A neat option for anyone who may have missed out on the first release of MP Skywarp. :)

MP Starscream was also (and still is in some places) released in Toyworld - more likely though as excess stock, which Toyworld gets a lot of.

Still quite a few MP Starscreams around in Victorian Toyworld stores.

How much is Screamer down there? If he is not too expensive, I may see if someone can pick one up for me for a mate, and if I cant find Skywarp as well :p

So far, I think it is Melbourne that has got him, not sure if 'Gong has got him yet. Wouldn't hurt to look though.

Gonna check out Toys R Us this weekend out my way, Starscream was sold there so I am hoping the same for Skywarp.

Found the Movie Seekers at Myer Hobart, so they should be everywhere by now. Didn't find MP Skywarp at the Toyworld here though.

D**m, Oh well my own fault for not going down myself. You didn't happen to ask if they were restocking did you?

Yeah I asked and they had any more or would get any more and they had no idea how they even got them in, they called some one else and they said they had no idea either they were pretty useless

I saw Ramjet and Skywarp in store today, and I think they look good... but not for those prices.

Yeah. I went into the Sydney City Myer the other day. 4 of each. They looked amazing. Just not $80 amazing. I would possibly be ready to buy these at $60 due to the exclusive nature of the release, and the great paintjob. But $80 is too much.

Mt Druitt Kmart had one of each semi-hidden on the overstock shelf on the same aisle (but wrong end and side) tot he transformers section. No price came up, Scanner said to see staff for help, but I guess that may have been when they were shifting the price from $80 to $50...
