I will actually be amazed if it comes to wal-mart. was there last night and the shelving space for transformers has gotten even smaller! i can honestly say less than 1/4 of the shelf space was Tfs from the movie, a few titaniums and that was all. TBH i might see this product more at Books A Million or Hastings before Wal-mart at that rate! Last I was there at either store, they masterpiece primes were dominating the shelf space in certain areas. Hopefully though MP S.S. will come to the wal-marts, pending nothing happens ever for hasbro like it did for mattell. (remembers reading on seibertron.com that the toys for hasbro are safe)

I feel your anger.I haven't seen one in SoCal either.I hate waiting for toys when they should be out on the shelf already.

Also keep in mind that Starscream will ship by himself - it's not like the 2009 Camaro Bumblebee that ships with X other toys that have to be sold before the product class is reordered.
I'd imagine Starscream will be shipped in increasingly larger numbers as the holidays approach.
Haven't yet decided whether I want one. I think the green Takara one is an improvement, but I also think Hasbro did a good job at making the original scheme more bearable (unlike, say, the Robotmasters Starscream, which is hideous to me now). Time and opportunity will tell, I suppose.

I don't for one minute want to assume he will be sold in larger numbers and miss out on the figure. I say this because I never once saw either Rumble or Ravage Alternators once in any Walmart in Central California. I barely ever saw the Constructicon set, so my faith in Walmart having more than a slight few if any is very low. I have a long running theory that in this area only super centers get these exclusives. The only 2 super centers in this area are about 49 miles away in opposite directions

I hate to travel to all the stores to just to find one toy. Let alone just try to order one and hope it gets there. I never saw Ravage or Rumble or the constructicons set. If I worked at wal-mart it would be another story for my faith to not be shattered. Anyways I wish people luck on finding these because MP S.S. will be a good collector's item if one can grab it

I dunno. There are more Masterpiece Primes floating around than any specific Alternator or Classics toy. I still think Starscream's nature as a stand-alone product apart from other lines means he'll show up sooner or later... and linger around for a year or more.
Of course, the re-shipped Masterpiece Primes are finally thinning out thanks to the movie's popularity (I guess), so who knows?

When MP Prime was first released in 2004 was it this way as well? I was just a casual collector at the time largely due to my ex-wife prohibiting me from spending money on toys at all, but I do remember having a hard time finding the original release of MP Prime, and an even harder time justifying its purchase. The purchase of MP Prime's first release was actually the first TF related toy I had bought since the BW days to be honest, so it does tend to stand out in my mind.
Granted since it was re-released they were plentiful, and still are in a few locations. But I don't recall the initial release to be that way. Am I wrong? And was the original 2004 release a Walmart exclusive as well or no?

He IS at wal-mart. I saw the associates putting him on the sales. He dominates the shelves right now. I have several pics of the sighting, but they are on my phone sadly/ He is only 49.95 (correct me on price if I am off by a few cents please). I am dissappointed in his size, I figured he would be as big as the Masterpiece Prime. Sad indeed!
