    I WAS tempted by this set, as I hadn't purchased Soundwave yet, but a $10 sale on Deluxe figures at Walmart changed that the other night. I transformed Soundwave twice. Didn't love the alternate modes. Put him back into robot mode, the main way I had planned to display him. *10* nosedives later due to the weakest hip joints I've ever seen ("ragdoll" isn't even quite the word), and he went immediately back to the store for a refund. I've NEVER done this before with a TF, and I've been collecting since the 80's. What a terrible, terrible toy. And Soundwave is possibly my favorite TF character of all time.

    I'm glad I had this experience, so I won't waste money with this blue repaint...and the Japanese black one, for that matter. Nice paint on a waste of plastic.

    Megatron is a maybe, because I dont have the Best Buy exclusive. Neutral.

    I dont have the fallen, so this is a good way to get him. Good.

    I dont have a soundwave, and I love this deco, Great.

    Over all im hoping to pick this up.

    i think all the stores are getting carried away with the "store X exclusive" toys....TRU is going to have atleast 5 this year after preceptor and the insecticons are released...plus it just seems that all the exclusives lately are just repaints of earlier molds...the G1 reissues i can get behind...but just doing a repaint to slap an exclusive sticker on is a waste....only exception for this is the up coming hardhead repaint...that thing is just sick looking! i definitely want to buy that guy...

    $50 is a solid price because it shaves off the added $2-$3 Hasbro put on the retail price for each class, unlike the Bludgeon/Whirl set. I have a MISB Fallen whom I could just give to my little cousin, I don't have a movie 1 Voyager Megs mold, and I do have Soundwave but love that deco. So this is tempting....

    Lame. The TF1 Megs sucks. And I wouldn't buy the blue Soundwave even if he was sold individually unless I didn't already have the gray one.
