I think it's time to throw my TRU Starscream on the bay.

On a related note, I have successfully smuggled Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, and Soundblaster into my place this weekend :yay:

There's a Toys R Us (TRU) version and a TFC (Transforemers Collection - JDM) version out there.

The American version looks like this:



The JDM version looks like this:



I found a US version for $15 on eBay last week. The JDM's will run about $35 ea.

The US version has modified weapons to meet US safty standards. The JDM's are near 1985 accurate with cooler looking boxes.

Not every TRU US reissue was seen in Japan as a TFC. (Vice versa)

Don't get me started on those smokestacks


The TFC's are more expensive, but they're prettier and you can get a Megatron that looks like a real gun. You'll never see that in the US again.
