    <3 Guzzle and Sharkticon

    I will buy so many Sharkticons that I'll be able to create the TF:TM "climb over each other to get to the Quints" scene.

    Also, I want a Kre-O Ark so bad. An Axalon would be pretty bitchin' too.

    Is that Shattered Glass Starscream? An official product from Hasbro that vindicates the SG Universe from Funpublications? Good lord what does this mean?

    Also judging by the third Wave of Micro-Changers is it possible Computron will be part of the third wave of Combiners.

    Pics of the alt modes are up on the main page. I wish Cheetor had spots in beast mode, lol. Blot is adorable in beast mode.

    Omigawd omigawd omigawd! Cheeeeeetor!! *jumps up and down squeeing*

    So they paint a mouthplate on Bombshell but not Bulkhead, Spinister, the non-Swindle Combaticons, etc?

    I really wish they gave Kickback something other than that Megatron helmet they've been using way too often. I may just go and paint a spare Waspinator helmet black with yellow antennae...

    I'm going to have to glue that blue gun onto Scourge's helmet.

    CHEEEEEETOR!!!

    I can't stress that enough.

    Agreed. Same with the Mirage helmet. Still, Kickback doesn't look too bad with it, but the Jazz helmet would make so much more sense. Too bad I used my Waspinator one to make a Crankcase.

    Can't believe they're announcing wave 3 and I've barely seen wave 1...

    Thought Ramjet had hearts for eyes...

    Nice to see Cheetor. Sword makes no sense and I think he could've used some freckles but hey more hope for more Beast Wars Kreons. Won't be for a loooooong time though if they're showing up to wave 3.

    For now I know I want Perceptor, Cheetor, couple other G1s and the leftover combiner guys. I have to get Lugnut because he just looks amazing. Nemesis Prime gave us an alt mode for Optimus... but not a fan of it.

    Have to say I don't quite care for Defensor. His chest is just so plain.

    Not sure how to feel about the weapon packs either. On one hand, those who didn't get these guys before have a chance now. On the other hand, they're a bit goofy looking with the clear/silver helmets. They really couldn't keep Optimus and Soundwave's faceplate silver? On the third hand, I was just feeling bad that Soundwave and Wheeljack didn't have their shoulder cannons so maybe this was the answer. I didn't see anything like this on Soundwave's wall but if Perceptor's any indication a shoulder cannon exists. I do like Optimus having more details but Megatron's pretty bad.

    I'm not too happy with this OP, but I did it last and I was pretty much out of usable pieces in the right colors.. (was originally the basic optimus set)

    That not-SG Starscream's head would work well for a BW Terrorsaur...

    Hi guys do you have the number info to tell the blind packs apart? I'm looking for Slingshot and the other 5th members. Thanks!

    Damn. That's a lot of new Kreons. I hope they figures are distributed better than collection 1.

    I don't like how Ramjet and Thrust have identical torsos/legs. I wish that they would have given one of them the Skywarp torso, rather than two Starscream ones. It'll look kinda weird when I have all three Coneheads and Dirge has different decals.

    Neither... I've only seen them at Walgreens and a lone price tag at Targets. Despite them having the price tag, I've never seen Target have them. Others were luckier than me though. Toysrus carries them, just not near me.

    Good luck.

    Here here. Target has the current wave in the Valentine's section for some reason, and didn't even bother carrying the all-Decepticon "preview" batch. And they've been absent from every other toy-carrying stores I have access to (5-Below, Walmart, TJ Maxx, Boscovs, other not-big-name stores). Meanwhile the Lego, Halo, Hello Kitty, Mario Kart, and every other blindpacked minifigures imaginable are everywhere.
