Sorry, I meant that the figure is better represented in a deluxe size. This one is an Ultra and looks, and feels, like a Gigantic KO.

It's not an Ultra, it's a Supreme. Smaller version is a Voyager, not a Deluxe.

Why do they never flip the toes into the feet as its supposed to be? Instead they leave him with pointy elf-shoes.

Re: Platinum Year of the Horse Starscream out in Canada

I want to get this, and I really don't want to get this at the same time...

I already have all 4 decos of the Voyager mold:


and all 10 decos of the Legends mold:


and my old Cybertron version of the Supreme mold is tucked away in my closet still at my parents' place...

It's technically just one more, but it's one HUGE one...

Re: Platinum Year of the Horse Starscream out in Canada

originally when he was first released (cybertron), weren't these selling for 60.00, really for a nothing change but paint and possibly sound chip (at least they left the sound chip in unlike the YOTS Prime) it really feels like a money grab the original toy did feel Ko'ish for the size and simple trasformation with little for gimmicks now at this inflated price with no new sculpt is it really worth the buck, Hasbros getting lazy with this choise and I can see these being on the marked down shelf if we even get enough for thoses hard core screamer fans "LOL" lets see what happens to YOTH prime, bet we get limited to none here.

Re: Platinum Year of the Horse Starscream out in Canada

Got mine in the other day. Backorder from Oct? Nov? Back when these first went live on TRU online along with the Optimus YOTH. People speculated what it was but didn't know for sure until a bit later. Figured I'd keep the order alive, since I was supposed to get a 25% discount on the order.

I didn't get credit back, so this is $130 and not worth it. Even still, this wouldn't be worth it.

Definitely looks cool, its huge, but I'd say more fun for kids, doesn't look great on a collector shelf IMO.

Plus mine came with a big hole in the box, thanks TRU shipping skills.

This goes back tomorrow.

Oops, my bad. I thought for sure there was a Deluxe version too.

There we about 30 of these guys at my local TRU and I have to say what a bloody joke. How is it that there can be 30 of these guys and never enough MPs??

More than likely higher margins on ROI to produce simpler TFs than more complex ones.
