I'd be more inclined to try a Japanese Export Store than BBTS, as it is a Takaratomy Japanese release rather than a Hasbro US release. That will save you some shipping in the first place, plus a local store will just add their shipping plus a bit for them on top anyway.

HLJ still has it available and are a trustworthy source.

I have a quick qs that hopefully someone with this figure can answer... where are the 6 missiles for Deep Space Starscream kept in box? Mine is MISB and I can't see them anywhere through the clear plastic.

I seem to recall the original version of that mold having the missiles taped to the back of the cardboard insert.

Could very well be, though I haven't seen the same hexagonal shaped box on any other Starscream movie toy? But now that you mention it, the inner cardboard is raised from the bottom, so there would be enough space in there for all the missiles plus the instruction sheet. That must be it. Thanks UM!

Does anyone know if a regular G1 Blurr gun will fit into a targetmaster Blurr fist hole? Or is the hole on a targetmaster Blurr too big (obviously to accomodate Haywire)?

it's a different figure but I know for sure that the fit hole on Targetmaster Scourge was bigger than the original. so quite possibly the same deal for Blurr.

Fist holes are both bigger on the TG version... so won't hold the regular gun (or the original shield either).
