    BBTS emailed a pre-order notification out around 12:39am. When I logged in at 5:30am they were sold out already.

    Luckily RK isn't :-) Probably cheaper even with my PoL.

    Now that Prime, Soundwave and Sidewsipe have had a second run, i assume Starscream, Red Alert and the cassettes shouldn't be too far behind.

    I'd rather see MP focus on NEW characters --- like finishing off the rest of the 1984 Autobot Cars (all the 84 Decepticons have already been done) and then 1985 - e.g. Dirge, Ramjet, Thrust, Snarl, Sludge, Slug^Slag, Swoop etc.!

    You know that's not going to happen until TT & Hasbro use the moulds to an inch of their lives Sit back and enjoy the ride, we'll be here for a while

    Yeah but a lot of the 84/85 characters can be made from retooling existing moulds or they have retool potential to let TakTOM milk more money out of the mould.
    e.g.
    Bitstream <---repaint of MP Starscream
    85 Seekers <--- retooled MP Starscream
    Bumblebee ---> Cliffjumper ---> Hubcap (and maybe a ltd exclusive Bumper)
    Trailbreaker ---> Hoist
    Huffer ---> Pipes
    Brawn ---> Outback
    Windcharger ---> Tailgate
    Gears ---> Swerve
    Jazz ---> Stepper (Ltd Ex)
    Inferno ---> Grapple ---> Artfire (LE) ---> Hauler (LE)
    Wheeljack ---> Slicer (LE)
    Mirage ---> Clear "Invisibility" Mirage (LE)
    Hound ---> Detritus (LE)
    Tracks ---> Road Rage (LE) ---> black Tracks (LE)
    Skids ---> Crosscut (LE)

    Sunstreaker would be tricky as there's no obvious repaint/retool potential, unless they make him the white police car from Diaclone and give him a new identity. It'd work as an LE (like Tiger Track).

    Absolutely, GP. If you throw in the G2 & possible Diaclone repaint options, there's another avenue for mould reuse. Like yourself, I'd much rather the respective lines completed than the 'relaunch' of an existing figure. But what d'ya do?

    Stuff you guys, I want my Starscream!

    Nah I can understand that, just never saw Starscream at TRU and would love to pick him up for a reasonable price.

    His eyes look dead in that photo. Is that normal or just the lighting
