has anyone got the G1 repaint movie starscream?if so is it good? i want that so bad but living in England it looks like the only way to get it is to pay a stupid price on ebay for it and i dont have that much money to spend. anyone wanna pick me one up and sell it to me for a reasonable price?probably not but its worth a try

No i havnt seen it yet, i hear its a target exclusive around here. i just recently bought movie jazz in grey paint then next day i heard about the g1 repaints of starscream and jazz. i just went to my walmart in PA and they had movie thundercrack, it looked sort of like a starscream redo in a blue/silver color. also i seen they had 1 classic jetfire and 1 classic grimlock, which i bought the grimlock because i started collection Xformers again just as the classic line was dying out so im trying to get what i still can.
Jef D. Row i will keep a eye out for the g1 repaints if i see one i will hide it and will message you. we can probably work something out.

I am aware Ult Bumblebee is out, it's everywhere. which bumblebee? the 1976 camero or the newer 2007 (i think) camero. i myself have been looking for the 1976 version but havnt seen any bumblebees yet. even tho people gave the 76 model a lower score in reviews then the 07 model but i still think its cool. i will keep a eye out for those as well. Jef D. Row no problem man. im going out this weekend i will make a trip to target and report back my findings.

Well I think you are going to have a harder time finding the old 76 one than the newer one since they have probably shipped out all of those, but Target has an exclusive coming out with the 76 and a battle damaged 08 one... This is what I am looking for...

wow that is a awesome BB set, i will def be looking for that. i did hear of the 2 pack with 76 BB and longarm (a tow truck) but havnt heard about the double bumblebee set. thanks for the photos. alright so your after the 08 bumblebee. i went to walmart/kmart/ and a local family owned shop, i didnt see any movie figures except for that real gear stuff which isnt to bad. i did run into some classics figures. i will still keep a eye out for the 08 bumblebee and report back when i see it. i hope to go over to ohio sometime and check out the group of stores that way.

I know most of the Deluxe ones like Archee and Payload are out, including Final Battle Jazz I see those time to time, but until I see them in bulk I assume BB didn't hit yet, I just hope I can get my hands on it, my bro has all the movie figs, but I just wanted both BB's and I got the first one, I only need that! Hope you find the first one and glad to help you out on that Target exclusive

i finally found the g1 repaints of starscream and Jazz at a reasonable price on ebay at $61.19 for both including shipping which comes to about £31. thats not a bad price really as the regular version of starscream in the UK is £19.99 and the normal Jazz is £9.99 so its about the same price as they would cost if they came out over here. Now i just have to decide wether to get them or not. has any one got them?if so are they worth getting? they both look better than the normal movie versions. I probably will get them as i think its a decent price and i love Starscream. Also how much do they retail at in America?

im pretty sure starscream is around 20 usd and jazz is around 10 usd. i just went out today looking for stuff and i didnt find anything besides a movie barricade and a classics cliffjumper which i picked up over wwe figures because i feel xformers sell out faster then most wwe figures. yeah that ebay deal doe really seem like a good offer at all considering from what i hear both g1 repaints are target exclusives. if that is true i would jump on the deal. i think g1 repaint starscream has a different head then the original movie starscream.

i got the concept bumblebee at Wilkinsons. they had 2 bumblebees and the others in that series too. they also had the classics wave with Grimlock and Cliffjumper.
As for the starscream i shall take some pics as i havent actually seen any pics of it out of the box. i think ill get a voyager Rachet or Ironhide tommorrow.

Yea dude the G1 Repaint of Starscream has a different head, it's the same head that they put on Thundercracker. I saw 3+ of each of the new deluxe ones at TRU but no Bumblebees! They had recon Barricade, Long Arm, Drop kick, and all those but no BB"s! wtf!
