Hopefully for a lot less. The consensus going around is $30 at Wal-Mart but nothing official has been said yet.

TFW is reporting (via a Facebook post by Robot Kingdom) that Starscream, Devastator and a set of eight Minibots will be joining Hot Rod as Wal-Mart exclusive reissues. Screamer has a listing on WM's website with a price of $24.85, but not for sale yet. www.walmart.com/ip/Transformers-Vintage-G1-Starscream/987345462

Neat. I'd definitely be down for Starscream at a reasonable price. Grabbed Thundercracker, Skywarp, and Dirge during the first go-round of reissues. Kinda always regretted not getting Starscream.
I missed out on the Minibot sets too (did manage to snag the Ehobby GoBots however). At the time I had a couple of the keychain reissues and was content with those.

I just could not justify spending the huge markup for the Takara reissue of Devestator a few years back so I'm super excited by that one. Depending on who the Minibots ARE, that's a maybe too, as there's a few that still haven't gotten reissues.

Don't need Starscream since I have the first TRU reissue but I do like this one comes with a Megatron gun accessory. I'm also tempted by the Devestator set pending the price. I wonder if it will be a straight up reissue of Devestator or the animation remolded head set Takara put out a few years back. I think the RK listing was a case of 8 single package Minibots but only 4 bots overall: 3 BBs, 2 Tailgate, 2 Swerve, and 1 Outback. Shame though they are not including Cosmos. I'd love to replace the one I lost years ago with a minty fresh carded reissue. www.robotkingdom.com/exclusive-items/walmart-exclusive/e2046cv00.htmlEDIT: Found the RK listing.

It got the Takara Devastator with the cartoon style face. He's rad. I have no regrets.
Could use a Starscream. I have Skywarp from way back when. I actually want to take a crack at shortening the missiles back down.

75 is a hell of a lot more reasonable than the twice that the Takara one went for. Think i'll pull the trigger on them as a Mini Me for my CW Devy Edit: Nope, already sold out of preorders.

I saw it looks like the first round is pretty much pre-sold out per Seibertron. Walmart Canada has in store sightings of the minibots but its unknown if they will be in store here in the US or not.
