TRU Has preorders UP for YOH MP Optimus & Supreme Starscream

The modern comics universe has had such a different take on G1, one that's significantly represented by the Generations toys, so they share a forum. A modern take on a Real Cybertronian Hero. Currently starring Generations toys, IDW "The Transformers" comics, MTMTE, TF vs GI Joe, and Windblade. Oh wait, and now Skybound, wheee!

TRU Has preorders UP for YOH MP Optimus & Supreme Starscream

Post by Tigermegatron »

Does anyone here plan on buying these?

Year of the Horse Platinum MP Optimus Prime.

Year Of The Horse Platimun edition Ultimate Starscream.

Personally I have no desire to buy either. As I already have the original released versions. I don't like the Gold bling on MP Optimus,It makes him look like a cheap KO or a Ghetto bling,bling gold version. I prefer the colors on the year 2005 Supreme Starscream mold.
The Price for YOH P Starscream seems a bit highly insanely priced considering the 2005 version cost $49.99

I'm Thankful,I am not interested in either. As everyone knows trying to find TRU TF exclusives in stores is a royal pain & requires tons of extra invested time. I do find it kinda ironic that TRU does pre-orders for TF items I have no interest in buying. While the TRU TF exclusives I often want have no on-line pre-orders for them.

With TRU Selling these Two YOF P items,I'm wondering what room there is for the smaller Scale MP TF Voyagers in 2014. I'd really like to pay Hasbro's USA retail prices for MP TF Sideswipe & MP TF Prowl in 2014

My guess is TRU & Hasbro make it a royal pain to find & buy MP TF Sideswipe & MP TF Prowl. thanks in part to there being no early on-line Pre-orders. Taking 25% of TRU's stock & selling it at SDCC 2014. Opening up TRU.com on-line orders for a few hours on SDCC day,then having nothing left for the site afterwards.

I'm seriously hoping TRU doesn't sell the MP TF voyager sized toys in 2014. I'd prefer Walmart or Target or Amazon or BBTS,Sold these instead in 2014. As all these stores/sites,often have sales,clearances,street release dates or make it easier to order them on-line or find in stores compared to TRU. Yeah,I know the chances of TRU in the USA selling the MP TF voyager cars is so beyond high.

Wow... those are expensive. Easy pass!

That's giant Cybertron Starscream I'm guessing. I got the original for $25 when they went on clearance. I'm quite happy with that version.

Instead of these Two. I would have preferred Hasbro USA,Released the Two GDO Asian Leader sized toys for HFTD G-1 Deco Starscream & 2007 Leader Premium colors Brawl. Hasbro USA could have even upped it a notch by creating a new G-1 seeker robot head for the HFTD Leader starscream toy. Maybe replace the Brawl Head with a Megatron head sculpt & call it Megatron,maybe even add a fusion arm canon,that can also mount on to the top of the tank mode.

Maybe,Hasbro USA,Could have released the GDO Asian red colored DOTM Leader Ironhide toy with a new Optimus Prime sculpted Robot head. Hasbro USA,could have called this toy,Alternators Optimus Prime.
