So is it pretty much a fact that only Wal-Mart will be carrying the 2 new Alternators?

Wal-Mart exclusives. They're going to be an endcap / island square special

:down: We'll never see them here since the Wal-Marts don't carry Alternators.

I'm on the fence. While I would like to have it, the ones available to us will be modded with an orange plug in the gun barrel to conform with US law. Boxes will be cut open, people will have their hands on it hap-hazardly cramming in an orange plug...

Mod = Not MISB = :down:

I just can't bring myself to pay $100 for something that isn't MISB.

Regarding the Starscream, you probably didn't miss out. I have one MISB. I was expecting the box to have some substantial weight to it, but it didn't. It's all plastic, no die cast parts :down:

If you want one to just open up and display, you could hit the local Wal-Marts and see if they have any of the USDM 20th anniversary Primes left. Last I saw, they were on clearance for $25
