"1:22 WAlmart Masterpiece Skywarp, closer to the toy "
They also said something about bringing MP Grimlock across next year.
Hmmm lets hope Hasbro dont rape all the chrome off Grimy.
this is great news, hopefully hasbro aus releases it here. I really want masterpiece grimlock but cant justify paying over $200 for the moment so this will be a good alternative
I knew if i waited he would come :DQuote:

now all i need is a hasbro release of thundercracker and ill be able to afford 2 of each :P
I wonder what packaging they'll put it in?
I suspect the Universe packaging but in a pinky Hasbro MP Prime type clear box (the one that came with a sound display stand)Quote:

Walmart exclusives usually hit Target here don't they?
Masterpiece Starscream was a Walmart exclusive that was carried by Toys'R'Us here.Quote:

I don't think there's any parallel between which Australian vs. America reseller gets the exclusives.
I think I prefer the realism of Takara for Skywarp. Plus, if I got this, I'd have to get Thundercracker. I wonder if Hasbro will eventually release TC?
Also, regarding packaging, while I didn't see the MP packaging, the G1 Reissues (Insecticons, Soundsave, Perceptor) are in Universe style packaging.
Sensational! :eek:Quote:

Universe Exclusive Masterpiece Skywarp

Sigh.. how I wish it would be of the same classics packaging as before..:(
I was thinking it would make more sense to use the MP Starscream blister packaging as before, just update the product shots. The Universe Classics and Movie packaging is similar enough to tie them together again.
No correlation between US and Australian stores, so it will be whomever wants it can sell it here.
Seeing how well Starscream sold, you'd think TRU would be happy to get it in and over-charge for it.
Dangit! It looks better than Takara's version. Now I'm torn. :(
meh
ill get one so i can have two, but my takara one stays in plane mode, due to the superior detailing :)
I didn't see packaging for Skywarp in the booth or presentations.
I'd imagine they will release Thundercracker, but probably not for a year or so. I'm rather torn over this, I am a fan of Skywarp he was my first seeker and all so its tempting. However I do prefer the realisim of the Takara MP line just a little more, so If I want cartoon colours I have my Classics.Quote:
