My fault... I forgot to post it in the "First Sightings" section and tweet it on our Twitter account. It came out here during the Nexus Fair and I forgot to forward it on when I got back. :o

I'll do a couple of catch-up postings.

Heh - that's fine. I popped into Target during my lunch break and found one Jet Vehicon sitting there on the shelf by itself - this thread gets results :D

Out of curiosity, the stores that youve visited, have they been local or have you looked outside of your area too?

Local. Haven't had time to look outside my area. :o

correct me if im wrong but.. is yellow Tigertrack (who ive never heard of) actually Sunstreaker??

hes my next on the list to get.. and is there somewhere on these forums where there's a list of KO's that are known made?

I just recently purchased Acid Storm from Toys r Us and was wondering if anyone could help me or give me some information relating to the other seeker variants in the master piece collection. I have browsed transformer wiki and noticed Sunstorm and almost fell off my chair... :) so cool. :) what did they retail for when sold here and what are their going prices now to acquire ? I really am after the whole set/ones that have been released thus far. If anyone has one to sell in the Sydney area send me a message. :) Thanks guys :)

Tigertrack is not Sunstreaker.

He has been KO'ed and there is a list of KOs in the Knock-Offs, Replicas, Copied TFs - Alerts and ID help which is a subsection of the Ratchet's Repair Bay & ID/transformation Help section on these forums.

For Sunstorm he was never released here and was released by Takara Tomy (Japanese market), not Hasbro.

For the seekers from TT ... MP3 starscream (green), MP3G ghost starscream , MP6 skywarp , MP7 Thundercracker ,
MP11 starscream (Version 2 new mould) , MP11s Sunstorm (v2).....

Hasbro released Starscream cartoon colours , skywarp , thundercracker (V2) , Acid storm(v2)

Tigertrack is a throwback to the original yellow Diaclone release of the LP500S.

There are two different Masterpiece molds for the Seekers:

MP-03 'Kawamori' mold:

MP-03 Starscream - he was green
Hasbro MP Starscream - Hasbro and Takara releases, G1 Starscream coloring, minor color differences, same packaging
MP-06 Skywarp
MP-07 Thundercracker
Hasbro MP Skywarp
MP-03G Ghost Starscream


MP-11 mold:

MP-11 Starscream
Hasbro MP Thundercracker
MP-11S Sunstorm
MP-01 Acid Storm - Hasbro and Takara release (I've never actually seen the Takara version tho...)

I think that's all of them... The older molds could be quite expensive to get now. Sunstorm shouldn't be too bad, Robotkingdom.com still have him in stock for $159.90USD + shipping. Hasbro 's MP-03 Starscream, Thundercracker and Acidstorm were TRU exclusives here, prices varied around the $100 mark, with Takara's MP-03G Ghost Starscream also being released here by TRU for $250 initially.
