Starscream-Vector Prime 2 pack
Spotted this set at TRU Miranda for $80 - presumably it will show up at other TRUs around Australia (maybe other stores as well).
Price is a little steep considering a lot of people who want VP would have already picked him up.

Re: Starscream-Vector Prime 2 pack
I spotted the same pack at TRU Parramatta yesterday.
I don't quite like the look of Starscream - the abundant about of maroon makes him look more like Thrust. Had they actually named him Thrust, then I might consider picking the toy up... if not for the fact that I already have Vector Prime.
I don't think that Starscream's colours are inherently bad, I just don't like them because they don't look like Starscream. As such, the toy would also have more limited appeal to fans who are sticklers for show likeness.
But overall, the fact that it was packaged with Vector Prime really hurts its sales... they really should've repainted Vector Prime and ideally given it a different name. Heck, even a black repainted "Dark Vector Prime" would've been better.
