MP-11 mold MP Starcream (TRU exclusive) confirmed at Hasbro Panel at SDCC, if anyone's been waiting for that. Doesn't seem to come with the cape and crown though.

I guess the price will be high because TRU paid for the exclusiveness.

All the Hasbro MPs in the last few years has been TRU exclusives so I don't imagine the base price point will change that much...that being said, they've been bumping up the prices on "collector" items and with the current exchange rate being so crappy...if MP Bluestreak is $90, well, you can imagine what the Starscream will be.

Kinda glad I got my Takara one already.

Nippon Yasan is one of the few e-tailers that actually get store exclusive items as stock. There are other websites that do the same but to my knowledge NY is the only one that actually gets Transformers. At some point NY even had BAPE Convoy preorders.

It's pretty case by case with Amiami. I've been allowed to cancel orders, with the most being 100$ worth of stuff and they let it slide. I personally think it depends on how often you tend to do it and how good of a customer you are, I think I've racked almost 8000 amipoints?

Bummer. Part of the reason I want it is for the cape and crown. I guess I should've jumped on the Takara version.

The Coronation gear is definitely a question mark. It wasn't shown in the preview slides, and no one asked the Hasbro reps about it during the panel. I suppose it could swing either way but I can see Hasbro nixing it to cut cost. I still find it funny that they keep including the coronation crown on other non-G1 Starscreams they make, like the YOTH Supreme Starscream and the upcoming CW Leader Starscream yet not on the MP...

It's not slated until October so maybe they'll decide to include it if there seems to be a demand (you're right, it's totally why I bought the Takara version).

[kirbenvost]

Yeah, I only have Greenscream so I could really use a G1 color version. I may still bite without the coronation gear, it will all come down to price. I guess we'll see what happens!

[carissa]

I don't care about the cape and crown. I just want MP-11. Yes!

[CyberDragon10K]

Well, if the coronation gear is important, and Hasbro skimps on that, one can always wait for yet another reissue?

I've got a MP-10 sitting in my private warehouse at HLJ, so I'm satisfied for now. We'll see if Hasbro's MP-11 has all the stuff or not. To be honest, I'm mostly waiting for a potential Unite Warriors Baldigus at the moment. :T

NipponYasan CW Devy, 17'180Y but yeah, shipping will probably top 2000Y. Pick your poison ladies and gents.
