Masterpiece Starscream is a Wal-Mart exclusive!

Frontpaged and credited.

We will all know soon enough!

After S250 showed us pics (and he's fully legit)

I'd be willing to believe this.

Oh and if he's $60.00...I'm all over that.

I might have to hold out and see if they do Skywarp as well, hopefully he will move off the shelves and they will do all 3 at least.

Yeah, and if they don't move off of the shelf, clearance time. Nice. Just like the 20th DVD prime I got for 20 bucks.

Hope Target or K-Mart gets this. *fingers crossed for down under*

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WALMART EXLUSIVE HAHAHAHAHAHA DIE TARGET DIE DIE DIE I HATE TARGET (becuase there in no onearound where i live and they made me order the tf game online just becuase i wanted pc. HAAHAHAH DIE TARGE DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ill buy this i dont have the original.

I'm all over this! At only $60, thats a great deal!

I think it is likely (though not 100% certain but very likely) that people overseas can order from them. So it may not matter if you don't live near a Wal-mart's, (either in the US or overseas) you can still get the Anime varient without having to go on E-Bay. (And its probably cheaper too.)

I agree, and lets hope its true, cause that would be awesome!!! but lets hope as well that if Hasbro is releasing the "Anime Accurate Starscream as a Wal-mart Exclusive, could we possibly get a Box that has a fold over cover and window packaging like their Generation One reissues?? that stupid 20th anniversary prime packaging sucks!!! it was very easily damaged and is not what a nice figure like Starscream should be packaged in!!!!

You might hate Target but I can say this much for them, every Target I have been to (and I have been to a ton) even the ones in the middle of nowhere have had all the Target Exclusives.

The same can not be said about Wal-Mart. I cringe everytime I hear about another Wal-Mart exclusive. The odds that I won't have to drive 4 hours to find a Wal-Mart that has them is are pretty low even though there are 20+ Super Wal-Mart stores between here and there.

Wal-Mart sucks.

They could've released it when I still cared.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This had better not be true.

$60!? %$#@=%$+&%#@~&@#%+$}{@^%!!!!

Walmart SUCKS!

Considering my local Walmarts don't carry Walmart Exclusives, this is VERY BAD NEWS

DAM! there's no WALMART near me anymore!

Damn thats kind of near christmas

I would get it and use my current MP Starscream as Thundercracker

wal-mart is destroying America

It's funny to here you guys complain about this

Doesn't matter to me one or the other really. i would love to get one but I'm not going to cry if I don't.

I am happy about the price

Good for confirmation that it is real. Bad for Wal-Mart. Looks like Ebay for me.

TFW2005 is reporting back from the Hasbro panel that its a TRU exclusive...

Hmm, any word on if it's G1 colors?

I'd refer to it as "G1-inspired", personally- it's close to G1, but I don't recall Starscream ever covered in soot in G1.

If its true than thats sweet but untill i see it in the store im not getting excited.

In any case, if it's exclusive to Toys R Us, I can't see the price going below $80.

No wait this sucks. Walmarts never have their exclusives in stock! Dam you Hasbro and Walmart!

G1 color scheme confirmed! This thing is so mine!

SO what is it? TRU or Wal-mart?

TRU it seems. I'll be first in line baby!

Is it me or are the legs different???




Anyone just joining I got this pic from the link to TFW2005. Apparently it was taken at the Botcon this morning..

no reports of Coronation gear and crown

I did some comparisons, and they look the same to me.

I really fucking hate Hasbro. Once again, they screw over the rest of the world in favour of lil ol America. Aren't they an International company?

Fuck em.


£30 for an American to buy, £80 for me to get off of ebay, which may or (probably won't) may not include packaging.

Strike two Hasbro, strike fucking two.

Damn. I want this, but Walmart never puts out their own exclusives, I'm still waiting on Classic Devestator

Oh my god!!! why wasn't optimus prime Leader class added with an Energon blade?? The fight on the Hoover damn is legendary because it mirrors G-1 fight on top of Sherman Damn, energon Axes and Ball and chains in tow!!! Yahooo!!! i love your sig!!!

Thanx, found the pic here on the site. After I witnessed it's awesomeness, I had to use it.

the legs arent fully pulled out in that pic, that probably why he looks odd. but yeah lets hope this story is true...i'm in canada so i'm probably fucked but thats what online ordering is for..lol

and if this is true its pretty impressive because a comic book store here sold the original MP starscream for nearly 200$ so 60$ ? nice

if it's walmart or tru, then jsut get it online, easiest way.

*thank you classics soundwave*

Hahaha I love all the doubters. It's plain as day now. Wal-Mart exclusive, and yes it's true.

*BUZZ* Incorrect.

TFW is next to worthless when it comes to news, in terms of accuracy.

In fact, their own pictures of Masterpiece Starscream debunk the bullsh*t they just pull out of their asses.

Look here:

http://www.tfw2005.com/gallery/showphot ... 1/cat/1811

The card says

*WAL-MART EX
MASTERP

Sitting right in front of the figure. NOTE: I typed what was shown on the card as is, so no, I didn't mistype that quoted part there.

Now back to this news tid bit...right there in front of their very eyes, a picture taken by them, clearly says Wal-Mart, and these idiots go on and on about TRU? Oh yeah, real dependable source right there. =\

With that blatant ignorance, among many other things, it should be easy for people to see why I can't stand TFW.


Anywho, I'm glad he's coming and he's only like $45-50.00...I'm so there.

Guess I'll be going to Walmart then.

No Anime Colored Starscream for me. I Refuse to shop at Wal-mart And Im not going to pay another 60 bucks for a starscream from BBTS. if He comes to target/TRU I will buy him.


Edit: Just Read that Thing Above...To wal-mart....

during the tour at 7 am, the guys all over the building said that the mp starscream was a walmart exclusive, and that earlier on there was a confusion about it being a tru exclusive, this is probably where tfw went wrong.

so that's why the figure looked like poop. just like that masterpiece optimus they released with the talking stand.

what are you talking about? have you even seen the starscream? it looks fantastic, and besides even if the dealer had anything to do with the quality (which it doesnt) it would be the same if it were a general release or a target, or tru, etc exclusive. Hasbro's the ones making it, not walmart. The only thing walmart has any part of this figure is being he official carrier for it.

I hope I can find one in a canadian Wal-Mart... if I can, then yea!

Autobot32, always a little harsh, but he's right. I posted it as wal-mart exclusive here for seibertron, from a quote of a guy who frequents TNI who is at botcon right now. I'm not lying, why the need to take information from other places and try and prove me wrong, when it's so obviously a wal-mart exclusive if you just look at the pics. Not to mention those open minded individuals who totally wouldn't believe it. They're eating crow right now, haven't seen a repost from them yet. Lets just get along because this is fantastic news!

I can't wait to get screamer. Hopefully he'll show up on their website for those who can't make it to an actual store. If anything this is far better than it being a botcon exclusive, at least now you can get hook ups at price from fellow collectors. Why even complain about the price when it's $40 cheaper than the alternative which has improper colors?

I am sorry
I had just went on Wal-Marts and I read the stuff they have on International Customers, and it says they only ship orders within the 50 States and US Protectorates and major territories. When I saw "International Customer" I assumed automatically that they shipped overseas, and I didn't check to make sure it was so.

I am sorry.

Strike two Hasbro, strike **** two.

Since Hasbro is a US company who's primary market happen to be the United States, I'd say that doing US exclusives is normal. Being international usually mean having different marketing strategies around the world, and so far I'd say their doing a pretty decent job deploying all the segmented market. So take a deep breath with the current depreciation of the USD, you might get a good deal. If you want for less than eBay, get someone to buy it for you and send it over, can't cost much more than 30-35USD for shipping if there is no diecast. That's what I'll do.

Sorry, I'm getting tired of people complaining about how Hasbro should run thing and all. You just happen to be the last post a have read about it

Ho, and me like! I just hope they will have more stock than they did when they released 20th ann Prime.

Why are Yall bitching about Walmart and the price???? Prime was $70 at Walmart and Target. My Walmart always gets the exculsives......and $60 is not bad at all.....
