    I suppose that makes sense. If it’s an exclusive the price is unlikely to ever go down right?

    Lol I know right? Same for megatron. Although I’m being pressured not to buy an accurate to scale gun toy.

    I got my G1 Shockwave for my 11th birthday in 1986.
    It's been a long time coming folks.

    So please correct me of i'm wrong, but the shockwave + has only darker colour, maybe full painted, and a slightly smaller sculpted eye?

    Entirely the same sculpt. New/corrected colors.
    The eye has a black border square painted around it which makes it appear different.

    It’s not the same sculpt. It’s a new face with a smaller eye.

    No it’s the same. The only difference is the black paint around the eye that’s now a square.

    The face looks like the same, also the old shockwave had the inner square inside the face, only the Eye seems smaller

    It absolutely is a new sculpt. Even the designers said so in an interview. It appears that it's only painted differently, but it's a remold. For a fact.

    No it's not the same.

    It's advertised as brand new:

    Sorry that you can't see that, but that doesn't mean it's not true.

    Hah. Okay you’re right. Well at least it’s something new. I shouldn’t worry too much though. I’m probably not gonna get this one.

    Maybe i'm blind, but i can't see other differences than the eye... Can you point me where are them, please?

    The eye is the difference, as I said. To allow for a smaller eye the entire face itself is a new mould, but the fact itself looks the same (I mean it's a rectangle with a circle in it, how complicated can it get :lol )
