We have another fresh new sighting for you, Transformers fans! Decepticon air commander Starscream has landed on US retail store shelves, with a sighting at brick & mortar retail in California!
This latest incarnation of Starscream, a Leader Class remold of the Generations Leader Jetfire that is also available in Thundercracker colors, and soon to be Skywarp colors, was spotted at a Target in Pico Rivera, California. A big thanks to TFW2005 member onslaught314 for giving us the heads up on this sighting.

I can say this – I'll have MP Starscream this weekend thanks to a best friend and now I see this version coming out and I'll have it too. LC Megatron, Thundercracker and Starscream will look freakin cool together!!
just waiting on ol' Skywarp to complete the deal.
Soooo, I'll have the orginal MP Seekers from G1 and all the LC figures from G1 as well. Life is good
Skyclaw
You say this like it's a bad thing? At this point I'd be happy with ANY version of ol' screamer.

I don't know? I just assumed it. Isn't it already out in Canada anyways. I usually just assume the states has it already at this point.

I keep trying to find comparisons, but let me just ask the experts. For example, I spotted the combiner wars Thundercracker. How does it scale up to the Masterpiece version? i am thinking about investing in Starscream Combiner and so on, but wondering if the quality is worth it?

Yeah my Target has had the same Megs for months and now a CW Magnus for a few weeks.

I know Streaker is considered the worst of the wave, but I'd finish Optimus Maximus first. I'd rather have a combiner completed than leaving him half completed to get another figure, but it's all up to your perception.

It is quite hilarious — and odd — that they're releasing this at the same time as the MP.

Ouch
Nevermore
When and where?

Most of my local stores have maybe two Megatrons left and haven't gotten anything new since or they don't have Leaders at all. The space is there on the shelves.
God Ginrai
Same. I'm debating whether I should get Starscream next or get Mirage and Sunstreaker so I can finish Optimus Maximus.
Slingshot
I can't wait to get my hands on this guy!

I dunno what it is but I'm sure this was already out in the states?

Can't wait to see how many times this gets mixed up with Masterpiece Starscream in the coming weeks at TRU. "Why yes we have Masterpiece Starscream, we'll hold one for you." And you get there and are handed this…
FanimusMaximus
Are you serious?
My Target had that Starscream for like a week now!
Damn I could've gotten another credit…

They need to send the leader Megs on to the discount stores so these Starcreams will come in faster.
Raiyuki
Man I haven't even found Magnus or Thundercracker. And I had almost no trouble finding Mp Starscream. I probably won't get to see this in stores for like half a year or more.

Excellent news. If I don't get Masterpiece, this Screamer will do for the G1 Starscream of my collection.

Sweet!
