Hasbro's MP Skywarp was released in a similar style box as Hasbro's MP Thundercracker and MP Starscream.


*squints*
2004 = No Seekers
2005 = No Seekers
2006 = MP3 Starscream
2007 = MP6 Skywarp, Hasbro's Starscream
2008 = MP7 Thundercracker, MP Starscream USA Edition
2009 = Hasbro's Skywarp
2010 = No Seekers
2011 = No Seekers
2012 = MP11 Starscream, MP11S Sunstorm, Hasbro's Thundercracker
2013 = Acid Storm
2014 = Hasbro's Sunstorm
2015 = MP11SW Skywarp, Hasbro's MP Starscream, MP11T Thundercracker

Not each year.


TRU Starscream sold here for about $100, which I was happy to pay. And that toy sold fast! It came with the stand, although no coronation bling (however a 3rd party did release an accessory kit). If you're talking about the Hasbro version of MP11 that's coming out later, then isn't it too early to determine (let alone judge) what TRU's price will be? It could turn out to be similar to Acid Storm; lacking the coronation kit, but includes the stand and selling for about $100 -- Acid Storm sold like hot cakes under such conditions, I'm certain Starscream would as well.

Now I'm not saying that TRU are guaranteed to honour that price point; after all we saw how they hiked the price of MP Bluestreak compared their price for MP Prowl just last year. I just think it's too early to judge is all.
Hasbro Thundercracker cost me $80. With a stand I can't remember if it was reduced from $100 but even then, that's a good price for a MP seeker.

I am talking about the "reboot " numbering masterpiece sequence and if I am not wrong skywarp and thundercracker will make its way to this new style box just as the LATEST starscream mp. Simply put, since acid storm, each year is another seeker nothing new to me the pattern is there.

Collectors of this age are going by the new sequence and that's what hasbro is banging on hence the reboot and re-intro of some oldies like grimlock. I bet my mp-10 that Optimus and the rest of the seekers will just turn up in this new format box.

Ffs look at your seeker sequence from 2013 by hasbro is a steady pattern. If you seriously didn't understand my guesstimate in the coming year, forget it, I am just going to say "I told you so" and not that I am saying it as if I know it, is just too predictable that every year hasbro is just releasing a seeker decepticon if that not obvious enough for you. Very happy to be proven wrong as I don't mind seeing new MPs but I know that's not going to happen.

It is what it is for price, I never like price increases especially for a plastic toy.
Who seriously gives a damn about the new box sequence? If you do your in for a disappointment at some stage if you expect Hasbro to be consistent with anything over a period of time anything longer than a few years.
