Not a question, but a pre-emptive answer to a potential question...

Seibertron have posted this rumour speculating that there might be a reissue Pretender Starscream coming soon. I find this highly unlikely. First of all, the Japanese text with the image says "Please take a commemorative photo." You'll notice that face on Starscream's Pretender shell is blank, so it looks more like the template for a standee where you can stick your face through and pretend to be Pretender Starscream's shell and have someone else take a photo of it. Secondly, Pretender Starscream was never released in Japan (only the robot on its own), and Takara(TOMY) rarely reissues G1 toys that weren't originally part of its market; rare exceptions include Gears, Omega Supreme and Sky Lynx; but these were characters who appeared in the G1 cartoon, so Japanese fans would already be familiar w/ them. Pretender Starscream has never appeared in the Japanese G1 cartoon or manga series.

If TakTOM were going to reissue a Pretender, I'd love to see them reissue Metalhawk (as it'd be the only way I'd get one ).
