    Much as I want to, I just cannot being myself to pull the trigger on that WWII Bee. Too much kibble, and the reported QC issues make me leery of buying from the web.

    Same. I got barricade, and honestly wouldnt mind the rest of the wave minus anything and everything to do with the dreads, but I just cant pull the trigger.

    I picked up WWII Bee from Amazon and he's a fun little thing. Transformation is easy and I don't notice anything egregious as far as QC. In hindsight, I'd probably wait until he drops a bit in price but I don't regret the purchase overall.

    For those on the fence, keep an eye on the UW Devastator pricing on amazon.jp It was down to $155.93 shipped. Pretty excited to get this!

    Is that shipped and sold by Amazon Japan? If so if some of you just got it at a higher price you might want to try contacting them. Unlike Amazon US, they might do a price adjustment

    I bought Shockwave this morning at around 8AM, EST. At that time, Ultra Magnus was still inflated. And ... logging back in an hour after you bought him at MSRP, he's inflated again. I swear these things are disappearing within an hour of being put up for sale.

    I can't help but feel it's limited stock combined with people buying them out fast.

    Amazon doesn't unload big shipments of things then put the item up for sale. It goes up for sale ASAP after its put into inventory. So a lot of new TF's get small quantities go up like 20 times. My SS Bonecrusher and Barricade came from California, and i'm in Ohio. Lots of warehouses that didnt have them. Their system just puts up stuff when they get it, so its a lot of small restocks. some dont even last minutes.

    Really wish Amazon would get in SS Leaders DotM Megatron and Jetfire. Course I'll lay you money some third party company will make that Megatron with some better paint apps. But I can't wait for that so I will settle for the SS one for now if I can get my hands on it. I'm not much a fan on Bonecrusher since he is only in the first movie for like 30 seconds after Optimus pwned his ass.

    I ordered Prime 2.0 for $40 free shipping. I can wait for Bonecrusher, but my SS Autobots need their Leader.
