    Who in the world would devote that much space in their house and $2700 hard-earned dollars to that version of the character? I feel like even Michael Bay would get a free copy and be like "...yeah, put it in the garage or something."

    I mean, it looks good but $2700 buys a LOT of tacos.

    Most likely not your average TF fan. But the fact that these statues get made at all does lead me to believe that there is indeed a market for them.

    As apparently the only statue collector here, yes there is indeed a market for this. If you can't save the money for this in over a year then that's on you. On a side note, if they don't make a Barricade I will flip. Also, everyone who says "I wish", just get the Ratchet or Jazz they're like $1200, and after that just save and save and maybe you can pick it up after release.

    I'd get them all if l could.
    I'm sure many could save up and be able to afford these. But space is the biggest issue.
    I own a 4 bedroom house and still think these are simply too big.

    To me, the best looking version of the character is the one that appears on DOTM.

    OMG!!!!!!!!!!

    They finally did it, they finally made a Shockwave I won't buy. I have the other statues/busts they've released, but $2,700? Just, no. And to be clear I have the money - I just keep thinking about what else I could buy with that money, like a G1 Black Shadow, or a full set of G1 Liokaiser, heck, I could buy both for that price. Plus my wife said if I am buying this, she is definitely buying Unicron - and then we'd have a competition for space.

    Same here. I do like the design and had it under consideration for quite some time, but yeah, that's a lot of better-spent money.
