Are we getting MP-06 at Walmart?

[General Tekno]

Title says it all.

Are Canadian Walmarts getting him in?

[Benzo]

I sure hope so!!

[Sokar]

mp-06 is skywarp.
do you actually mean mp06, or mp03 which is starscream?

if you mean skywarp, I doubt it.

if you mean mp03, I'm still hoping, but since it's limited in the states, chances are slime you'll see them here as well.

MP-06? Masterpiece Skywarp? Wal*Mart has yet to carry any of the Japanese Masterpiece series so I think it's highly unlikely they'll get MP-06.

Now the American Masterpiece Starscream (which doesn't have a MP-## designation) may be a different story. It's a Wal*Mart exclusive, and Canadian Wal*Marts have brought in all of the Movie 2007 Wal*Mart Exclusives so far. On the other hand, we didn't get Alternators Rumble or Ravage so there's a fair chance we won't get him.

There's been no official word so far concerning Masterpiece Starscream's availability in Canada. If we do get him, expect him to start showing up (most likely in Ontario somewhere) in a few weeks - maybe as late as December.

[Icetron]

I sure hope he does come out here in case I can't get my hands on one sooner.

There's no french on the packaging...Does the Classics packaged Masterpiece Prime have french on it?

Remember what Protoman said about the reason why Alts Rumble and Ravage didn't show up here? I don't know if it'll apply to the MP G1 Starscream...

[soundwaveCA]

I wouldn't bet on it.

The dvd prime does have french on it

That being said, I'm kind of unsure that they will be enforcing the trilingual packaging given the recent appearance of the target exclusive scouts.

It's american packaging that they are using for the scouts, with no trilingual backing. Just like the titanium figures and swtf's in the states, these scout figures have character bios on the back, while the trilingual packaging only has a bunch of preview pictures for other figures in the line. The smaller titaniums were horrible for this as even in later waves they were still advertising the first 3 figures of the line with the standardized front packaging, while the american releases included the bio on the back, as well as character-specific front packaging as well (ie bumblebee's packaging actually uses him in robot mode as part of the artwork on the packaging)

The Classics 20th Aniversary Prime had 2 versions of packing, the Canadian one found from BC to Newfoundland sported bilingual packing with an anglo only speaking Prime. But sadly, Quebec didn't get it, but the rest of Canada did. If we get a package variant of Screamer, it's in the bag for a Canadian release and a safer bet with Quebec due to no voice box.

[Paradigm-Shift Prime]

Ok well I'm pretty sure he means Masterpiece Starscream.

A few things:

That talk of him being a 'limited' release on the other sites is garbage as far as I can tell. All it means is that Wal-Mart stores have to have their manager order more when they sell out rather than them coming straight from the warehouse.

Language-wise, the packaging doesn't have to be bilingual (think robot heroes 5 pack, Soundwave comm., movie 2 packs) but it won't come out in Quebec if that's the case.

And we didn't get classics devastator as well as the alts in terms of pre-movie walmart exclusives so now that this is a post-movie exclusive things don't look super likely.
