    I wonder why this is not showing up in the product details. I was about to cancel my order from BBTS. If this is still included, I'll keep my order, otherwise, I won't need the set. ;)

    I am curious if this little addition is actually going to be in the set, as Dai said I'll keep my PO until further notice.

    Is there some reference I'm not getting as to why two companies have put "Quake" in Shockwave's name?

    ^"Earthquake" is a loose synonym of "shockwave".

    ^I kind of figured, but it's a pretty strange coincidence two companies named him similarly..

    I guess they couldn't go with "Quaker", since Shockwave isn't exactly a pacifist.

    Wow, didn't know that TFSource had that deal! I just cancelled my pre-order at BBTS and pre-ordered at TFSource for $239 shipped instead of $260+shipping at BBTS.

    I don't think it's exclusive to TFsource.

    Fansproject/Maketoys ain't no joke this year. They coming out like gang buster. I heard they are trying to aim for one release each month for the whole year.

    Quake is synonymous with aftershock, I suppose, and it's got "shock" in the name so it's reminiscent of shockwave.

    This is neat, if true. With so much getting released, my wallet is getting assaulted left and right and I wasn't planning on getting FP Bruts 2.0 since I have the original version but this may just tempt me.

    But is your wallet?


    Mine isn't, so I'm skipping this gladly. Although (another) mini Shockwave would have been cool, I'm not buying this set to get him.

    I never liked the fact that second run people get rewarded for waiting. I get it, they have to sell stuff and adding pieces to an old set is the way to go but...what about me? What about those that supported this project originally?

    Personally I refuse to believe that FP would not releases the extra bits on their own so I won't huff and puff yet but I sure hope they do because I am not spending a lot of money to get something I already have just for a few extra.


    PS. decent enough "Quake" bot mode but what the hell does he transform in to?

    I don't think that it's a "reward" as much aw something to entice people who already have a version of the set to buy this one too.

    HAve three on PReorder atm. So it'll be nice to have the quake guns.

    Is this only at TFSource? Or any and all preorders? I would like to know as I ordered from BBTS.

    Daw... please tell me the Quake gun will eventually be sold separately... =(

    Looks pretty neat... and IDK... is it me or is Shockwave proving to be quite the popular 'Con as of late?

    Thought you already had like 10 Brutici with the armor sets on them... don't tell me you acquired even more of them. o_O

    A semi-accurate mini Shockwave with a gun mode that almost feels like an afterthought... did the designer(s) from TFC's Targetriods defect to FP?
