Kudos goes to the crew at tformers.com for investigating further about the Starscream reissue that is available at Walt Disney World. Don´t be fooled by scams claiming the figure is a special Disney exclusive & is in a different box or whatever nonsense you are being fed. Disney is selling the figure at their Walt Disney World Hasbro store alongside their other Hasbro Transformers products like Heroes Of Cybertron. The figure is available at (407)934-7775 for $30.00 - just tell the operator you want to order item #22700658. It appears to be the same as the US reissues - which have all been ages 8 and up. Check out tformers.com´s full report on this situation here.

According to several online sources, an upcoming set of repainted Spychangers will be a set of Autobots (Wheeljack, Mirage, Sideswipe, Trailbreaker, Prowl, and one unannounced figure) slated for an April 2003 release and a set of Decepticons (G1 Stunticons styled/painted figures - Breakdown, Drag Strip, Motormaster, Dead End, and Wildracer). If the names of the G1 Stunticons are reused, it is unknown whether or not Wildracer is a misprint or if the name is meant to be Wildrider. This might be another name that Hasbro has lost to copyright issues. Stay tuned for additional information ...

Due to a variety of unfortunate issues, the message board went offline late last week due to the same problem that causes the "too many connections" errors. I am working to resolve this situation at this moment. This is the first chance I´ve had to be online in the past 7 days due to personal problems. SEIBERTRON.com email still has not been restored. Messages created from scripts on this site are able to be written by the site and received by your email host, but emails sent to my account are continuing to bounce back. It will take another couple of days to resolve this issue with my host. And for the store people, I have not forgotten about you and ask that you limit your frustrations while I continue to resolve these situations.
To everyone, thank you for your patience. The past week has been very difficult for me personally and I am working to get through these problems as fast as I can.
