Courtesy of 2005 Boards member SAF7 we can confirm that the new Transformers Studio Series Wave 8 Leader Coronation Starscream is out at US retail.
This new redeco and slight retool of the Earthrise Starscream mold which includes the “coronation” parts and a Nemesis throne was found at a Target store in Greenwood, Indiana. Coronation Starscream come in a new Studio Series windowless box.
Happy hunting!

Alright, as long as I’m not going crazy.
Ah well, I can try Hasbro Customer service and see what I get as a response, I guess. It’s definitely very noticeable, especially from the bottom where the color turns browner. I can’t imagine how something like this happened, but if nothing else, at least I can just pretend it’s some fire/battle damage from an attack.

I just got mine today too, yours definitely has some sort of quality error

So I just got my coronation Starscream today from the mail, opened him up and transformed him into Jet mode, and a really weird thing popped up as very noticeable to me. Is his left tail fin supposed to be more yellowish than the other? Is this some kind of deco I wasn’t aware of with this mold, or is it some kind of known quality control issue I wasn’t aware of, that I’ve gotten?

Wish the throne was sold seperately in different colors. Would make great seats for a 13 primes diorama set up.

Guess I'll pick this up once he hits deep clearance so I can get that throne for Megs to sit on.

Amazon delivered this in just 3 effing DAYs via UPS!

We'll see what happens.
Because right after Zarak, which left me with $41, they tried charging for Screamer.
I need that $170 right now.

This is why I don’t fuck with pre-orders anymore. I have Terrorsaur, and thats it. This exact thing happened to me too much.
EDIT: And people always tell you. “Just budget better.” Like, if I’m not supposed to be charged for something for another two months, I don’t budget for it. Being randomly charged hundreds without notice is not okay, and it’s not defendable.

Alright. I'm angry with Hasbro now.
They sent me emails saying that this guy and BB Soundwave would be arriving and I'd be charged soon.
What they didn't do it email me about Black Zarak arriving early as well.
So now, they charged me for Black Zarak and Soundwave and I'm down to under $8.00.
What bullshit is this?
I've sent Hasbro cs a message about possibly cancelling it before it leaves the warehouse.

Amazon just charged me. ETA shipping Feb 18,2022 aka a much earlier release.

Bronx Riverdale Target has a bunch right now. Probably more in the stockroom too.

Today was payday and I found a Coronation Starscream and a ton of early lego sets, and hid them all. Came back today and got a lot but put a few things back, Starscream stayed on the shelf for now because I still have preorders open. (got the Dark Trooper hallway set, john deer tractor, '70 Ferrari, the Countach and a bunch of Dots sets for work. And the Iron Man… I need to stop.}

My Amazon preorder moved from April to this Friday. I can't wait to get this guy in hand.
Radioguy
Same. Mine has a loose wing joint though. I might be able to fix it, but really shouldn't have to…

Niiiiice!

You ain’t kidding! Had mine delivered today via GameStop.

I don't understand why New York Targets are doing worse with stocking transformers than other states.
One I went to had two black arachnias. The one I'm at now has two Kups, one tigatron and two beast wars Megatron and a bayhotrod.
I've only got one more close by and I doubt they have it.
Edit: at the last store now.
Someone tried to hide this last one behind a Baby Yoda.
