Is wave 6 out already? I need that Universe Ratchet as Animated Ratchet doesn't serve as filler.

wave 6 is kind of out.

I got Ratchet and Hot Shot at toywiz.com. Hot Shot's $20, Ratchet's $15. I didnt mind paying extra to avoid hunting for them later.
I'm selling things!

Got my Henkei Ratchet from BBTS yesterday:







Has a lot of the same problems Ironhide had but still a great figure overall.

Just got my Universe Ratchet from BBTS, and the quality is TERRIBLE.

The blade/gun mechanism just flops around and will not stay put in either configuration. It seems there's been shrinkage to the mold.

The waist joint is obstructed by the wheel panels in robot mode, so the figure pops in half whenever I turn the waist.

Some of the worst QC I've ever seen.

Man, I want Henkei Ratchet BADLY, but I have no idea where I'm going to get him.

Quick question: how easy would it be to remove the red bumper/ram/thing at the front. Just to differ him from IH a bit more?

The brushguard? It's just held on by a screw that's really easy to get to. And taking it off doesn't hurt the alt-mode at all unlike removing Hound's.

Cool, I don't suppose anyone's done it themselves and could take a few pics showing it off?
