MP Skywarp packaging pic.

I like this guy very much and recommend it to anyone who doesn't have the Japanese release already but I don't think that the differnce justifies it for anyone who already owns the Japanese one.

You could sell it. But you might want to sell it before the Hasbro one is released - people won't be as willing to buy a Takara version after the Hasbro one comes out, and even if they are, they won't be willing to pay as much.

If I were you I'd display one in robot mode and the other in jet mode. That's what I do with my two MP Starscreams - Takara version in jet mode and Hasbro version in robot mode. :) IMHO it looks better than displaying a Japanese MP in box since they have no windows from which to view the toy. Just my 2c.

I call the takara verion of MP Starscream Waspinator now that i have the US version.

great minds think alike
this is why i need 2 :P

I have the Takara Tomy version still MISB since I dont have the room to display it OR the USA Edition Starscream I got for the purpose of displaying..

So, this is skipable.

Cool, I never got one either, I hope it is aroud $100 like Starscream. :D

This seems to confirm that Skywarps packaging format will be the same as Starscreams, bar the newer artistic motifs. I cringe at thinking how much cheaper it will be compared to the Takara version when it lands here too. Ah well, at least the Takara box is a bit more displayable than Hasbros... once you remove the contents ;)

Well Hasbro's MP Screamer was good, no reason to think this one wont be.

The Takara version wasn't that much more then Hasbro's Starscream when it first came out, mind you the dollar was high then and Takara hadn't jacked the prices up yet.
