    I really want one for my shelf. Shockwave is a cool figure, but to me he isn't MASTERPIECE price cool, so this will work.

    Ignore them. They're just frightened of your happiness. They'd rather you act like a harbinger from the hilltops, bearing news that exclusive budget toys are going to spell the doom all Transformers forever...for some reason, that comforts them.

    It seems a bit inflammatory to call people idiots for buying something they think is cool or that they like. Might not be your choice to buy, but attacking someone else for it seems a bit narrow minded. I bet there is something in your collection that you love and spent your hard earned money on that someone else thinks no one else in the world would want that, but telling you that you are an idiot for buying it is not needed. Relax man, it's a toy, not the end of the world.

    that shockwave looks fun!

    ok it lacks some articulation but it still passes as good enough for me.
    especially because they are sized as a voyager but are deluxe class money.

    plus it looks accurate aswell.

    my main concern is that it might not hold up well over time because of the cheaper plastic but it's a nice figure to have.

    My wife probably thinks I was an idiot for buying a reissue Gold Lightan. I think it's cool to have a gold-colored lighter which turns into a robot. I'm sure she was like...okaaaaayyyy, whatever floats your boat...

    <blockquote><div>BenjaminXavier</div><p>Puerto Rico is part of the USA, and Walgreens is a USA chain. These toys have already been sighted in the USA so how is this news?</p></blockquote>

    Shake your head all you want. Just refrain from calling people you dont know idiots. You make those kind of comments in real life, sooner or later sombodys going to ruin your day.

    True, but I was cleaning my car out the other day and I let my daughter's friend play with my KO Gravity Builder Hook and he proceeded to slam him into the concrete over and over.

    Kid is only five though.

    Doesn't exist yet. Not even in rumor, AFAIK. War for Cybertron trilogy sounds like a logical place for him, though.

    Where for kids? Its toys what?

    Not a fan of that line of reasoning at any rate. If somebody handed out expired chocolate to trick or treaters, would you say "there for kids its candy?" Some products just seem to remind customers that they're unimportant and unworthy of effort. As if people waiting five or six months for power to be restored after a storm need that.

    PR is a totally different situation if for no other reason distance and geography. Its is in fact news separate from a mainland CONUS find.

    They aren't obligated to purchase them. And in hand, they're actually very good toys. EXTREMELY good toys, in fact, on a certain level. Well, not Bumblebee. He's the black swan of it all...and with as much emphasis as Hasbro places on that character these days, you'd think he'd get something much better than that.

    Yeah, for the price the Battalion figures suck. Not worth the price. Shockwave with no knees, hollow, and no weapons? I admit the figure does look good but picking him up he feels cheap and hollow/light.
