Canadian G1 fans can consider themselves lucky. Following the report of the Walmart Exclusive G1 Minibots at Canadian retail, now we can report that the G1 Starscream Reissue has also been spotted in Canada.
Via friend site Cybertron.ca we have an image of Starscream reissue indicating that was found at Walmart in Cagalry, Canada for $49.97 CAD ($38.22 approximately). This reissue also includes a Megatron mini-gun, similar to the one included in Takara’s Transformers Collection 09 G1 Starscream while back in 2003.
Happy hunting for all Canadian fans! You are just missing Hot Rod and Devastator reissues, while all of them haven’t been spotted at US retail yet.

So far, I have not seen anymore restocks of Starscream at any walmarts.

Starscream was my first tf so this brings the feels. If I see it in store I'll buy one, but I'm not tracking one down.

Just picked up the Devastator set in White Rock, BC today. $99.99 CAD. Mods contact me if you want a pic.

So, do these versions have the tampographs of the Encore versions?
EDIT: Actually, given that there’s nothing on the wings, that’s probably a no.

If I see these in store, maybe. But I agree with Mistakemus on the over-price…
Good news: USA Walmarts stock so BADLY, it's incredibly unlikely I'll even see this in the wild. And that means more money saved for other companies or hobbies! Hasbro: testing the max number of flaming hoops a consumer will go through to buy product!

Found a whole bunch at the nearest Walmart from my House.

Yeah. Honestly if I had grown up with this thing I’m sure I’d have lots of fond memories, but I grew up on rotf and early Generations. That’s when I think TFs really peaked for me.
This reissue just feels like a cash grab though, the thing is at least $30 more than it should be. If it was $25 or so I’d def consider it
rapid_fire
Lol yeah but he's still got that charm for some reason

In the incredibly unlikely situation that there’s a sale, I might get this. Otherwise it’s an easy pass. I didn’t grow up on G1 figures so there’s no real nostalgia for me. For the most part, they’re clunky and awkwardly proportioned bricks, and Starscream is no exception

I'm looking forward to seeing this in stores.

My G1 SS is missing the pin that connects the canopy, atleast one fist (tho both were the same hand sooo..), so if I can get this for a reasonable resale price on eBay I'm all over it man. First Transformer I remember getting, loved that toy <3

Oh yes!

What? Do explain.

Haha rollback, thats a good one
Lazerwave
Went to Walmart today, but employees said come back tomorrow. Don't know if I should waste my time if they don't have it.
Mistakemus Prime
Might get it on rollback, otherwise I’m not paying fifty dollars for an ugly brick that you have to rip to pieces in order to transform
