Wow. I never knew that. And I would've sworn that they were fakes if I didn't know better. But now I know! :D

So knowledgeable as always good sir. That pic was the origin for my question. ;)

Another question :o: What's that boxed clear Starscream on the top right hand corner of the same pic? (above boxed Soundwave & Starscream).

There aren't too many in existence, but likewise there's not much demand for them - it's a nice quaint display piece to have. Linthart has one - he'd know as much as anyone:

On the "My account" screen at BBTS is the total of the order including shipping or just the value of the items? Does customs count shipping in the $1000 total?

The total on the BBTS My Account screen includes shipping.

The $1000 threshold is only on the goods and does not apply to the shipping costs.

Thats a relief. I thought I went over with the falling Aussie dollar. I better ship soon.

Thanks! The box is definitely customised, but I'm thinking the toy itself is probably the 'Classics' Starscream mailaway from the 2009 Generations book. It's hard to tell what the scale is, but if it's not that then I'm guessing it would be a knockoff, maybe of Smallest Transforming Starscream or the KO by 'King'.

Yeah, thru amazon - t'was beautiful! :D http://www.amazon.com/2014-Transform.../dp/1423822838

All I can find for 2015 is a RescueBots one and two different AOE ones (naturally the cheaper one is the uglier one, but I cant find the better one for less than $30 shipped so may wait until they flog them off cheaper in a few weeks ;))
