The UK newspaper the daily mirror is giving away a different exclusive speedstars figure. The figures have to be collected from the Sainsbury's store chain with a redeemable token from the newspaper. I'm not sure where these figures should be included in the database.

The figures that will be released are:
Cyberhunt Optimus 2nd July
Bumblebee 3rd July
Starscream 4th July
Ironhide 5th July
Soundwave 6th July

I have the Cyberhunt Optimus and can confirm it is very similiar to the carded US version but is released in a bag. Can anyone help with the placement of these items in the database please?

I'll add a new category for them...one question though...do they have the extensive painting on the "robot mode" found on the RPMs versions of the these guys or the lackluster Speed Stars versions?

For example, that Starscream (Cyber Hunt) wasn't released under Speed Stars, but was under the RPMs line, but not in the United States (The Philippines was one country I can recall offhand that had an official release).

So, if it's the RPMs version, you would just create a package and we'd link the existing figure in the database.  Those unreleased/undereleased figures had to end up dumped somewhere, right?

If it's a new Speed Stars version, that would require a new figure to made (since the U.S. version was never released), in addition to the new package.

Here is what I can tell:
Optimus is the full deco Phillipines Cyber Hunt version
The Bumblebee is the N.E.S.T. Global Alliance Bumblebee
Starscream is the full deco Phillipines Cyber Hunt version
Ironhide is Revealers Ironhide
Soundwave is Metal Heroes Soundwave
Hope that helps
