[quote name='howlinmad']Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm just getting back into collecting since I ignored most everything since the original G1 toys. (with a few exceptions).
But anyone think they will release another version of Starscream and Skywarp like the Thundercracker they have now? I missed out on the Starscream a few years back (had it in my hand and put it back.
). That and I really have no desire of spending 60 bucks on Amazon.

I'd say it's unlikely for a long while. They've gone through Starscream, Skywarp, Ramjet, Thrust, Dirge, Acid Storm, and now Thundercracker. I'd put betting money on Sunstorm, but Hasbro only knows if or when.
After that, who knows. They may do new recolors, clear or tattooed versions, or something. They recently churned out Classic Bumblebee in movie colors, so something like that may happen. Ghost Starscream would be nifty -- I'd buy that, even though I got the Masterpiece version. But it's unlikely that Classic Starscream, exactly the way he was, will be there anytime soon.
And I don't think it's a stupid question at all. At the time, nobody knew they'd release all of them or that recolor-happy Hasbro would only issue each of these things once and then never again. I almost passed on both Ramjet and Skywarp (and would have had I not found them at Target on clearance) even though now I'd be kicking myself hard if I had.
And ya never know. Next week Hasbro could announce a store exclusive with Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker. Or it could be five years from now. Someday, someone will have it, but how long you have to wait is anyone's guess.
