Thanks for the responses guys and i may have a few more questions sorry.

Question 1:
I was thinking of collecting some of the combiner war figures as i doubt they would appear in the MP line (or any time soon). However from my brief research it seems like Takara have a "unite warriors" collection of toys as well. From the looks of things it seems that the combiner wars and unite warriors toys are almost the same? Im guessing it comes down to preference of the paint job as to which to get? Or does one company have the better release in terms of design?
Which should i collect?

Im leaning towards the Unite Warriors as they are all in the one box and i have those bubble wrap things.


Question 2:
Would love to get the older MP toys like soundwave, starscream etc but the prices on ebay and gumtree are a bit too much for me. Do you think Takara will re-release them later on? Or am i stuck with trying to find a decent price on ebay?


Question 3:
Similar to question 2 - i would love to get a Starscream MP toy (such as MP3 or MP11) but the second hand prices are too much and im not sure if Takara will re-release them.
I know a few Toys R Us stores that have MP-07 but the reviews i have read are not so good of the figure.
You think its worth buying the MP-07 or just wait and hope to find a better MP starscream in the future?
