    The other dilemma I have is Santa already has CW Starscream put away. Are MP and CW Starscream different enough my son would get value out of them both?

    He also wants MP Ultra Magnus so I'm undecided whether to give him the big guy, the whiney jet x 2 or all 3. Opinions and recommendations?
    At least your son still wants Transformers. Mine was all into them so I have got a large inventory of Combiner Wars Sets, G1 Trypticon and a couple Masterpieces set aside for Christmas presents. But now he's going nuts for Star Wars toys! Reminder to self, do not order toys too far away from Christmas because childrens interests change.

    Ok enough of the rant. If in your position I could not justify giving multiples of the same character. So I would try selling the CW version and get him the masterpiece he wants.

    I'm trying to figure out if I should try and pre-order the MP Ramjet from PC if any come back to preorder from being unpaid. I really like the idea of Masterpiece Coneheads.

    but the price! $200. it's a remould of something I currently own 8 other versions of (MP-03, MP-06, MP-07, MP-Sunstorm, MP-Acidstorm, Hasbro release MP-03, MP-11, and the recent local release of the MP-11 Mould of Starscream form AU TRU). Crap, I need to sell a couple starscreams.
    This mould has sold for as little as $100 here and overseas.

    Does anyone think there will be a Hasbro Asia release of this? Does anyone think it will be more reasonably priced?

    If it helps make your decision, I'd think not about it being $200 for Ramjet, but as $600+ for Ramjet, Dirge and Thrust.

    Absolutely there will be a Hasbro Asia release but it will most certainly cost more than PC. I'm basing this on the experience of MP-11T Thundercracker, MP-21R Red Bumblebee etc. If you want it I would be refreshing PC tonight at 8:30 Qld time.

    If you are keen Trypticon is on sale on Amazon for the next couple hours at $120US
