New Masterpiece Starscream - MP52

[Kyle]

I actually think that a higher price suggests that the repaints are NOT planned to follow.

Look at recent excessively priced MPs

The high price of Starscream lends to the mould not being planned for multiple repaints.

That's not a bad theory, quite probable. I kept buying the repaints for the sake of "completeness" of my collection, even though I'd rather them to stop!

I understand cost is a concern re: getting the whole set. But if I couldn't afford them all -note they r not necessarily coming out at once - I would either give up something (eg. give up all non-masterpiece transformers - their cost really adds up as there are so many of them), or I would just get one of my favourite character (probably Starscream). Some toys though look too good not to get. Mind u, I don't want one with QC issues and I avoided Prime version 3 because of that and the ridiculous cost (we thought Unicron was expensive).

I wish TakaraTomy would give us MP versions of Jazz, Mirage, Hoist, Trailbreaker, Skids and Cliffjumper etc. before planning any more version 2 or 3.

This. I understand there are licensing issues with Jazz, but I would happily shell out my hard earned for each of the Autobots Kyle mentioned. Even at $200-300 a pop.

I have zero interest in a second MP Starscream. I am perfectly happy with my Hasbro MP Starscream, MP-6 Skywarp & MP-7 Thundercracker.
