    I would still like to know the actual production numbers. Why some figures seem to be over or under produced. Siege Shockwave seems to be a real stinker. He'll probably be in the clearance aisle after the holidays. Especially since they'll be discontinuing Siege & moving to Earthrise. I got a ton of POTP deluxes for $4.50 each when they moved to Siege. But TR wave 5 seems to have been under produced. They hardly showed up in stores & the ebay prices have never gone down.

    I added Hot Shot and Cromar. I'm at 50 now. When I set out on this silly goal of collecting the whole series before I crack them all open at the same time I didnt realize how much space they would need or how difficult it would be to just look and not touch. I will admit, I couldn't resist opening Hot Shot. I love this little guy so much.

    Agreed. Starscream, Soundwave, Magatron are everywhere. We've all seen Shockwave being sold now now for $29.

    Wave 5...I presume the lead up to this will really start in force next month for the Christmas rush? Lol

    Impactor finally got the drill hand he’d been waiting for... But I can’t help feeling he’s overcompensating for something somehow...

    What seems to be forgotten by many is that not every wave is full of new releases and earlier figures are used to pad the new stuff.
    Shockwave was released with Magnus, then again with Cybertron Prime. Of course there will be leftovers.
    Starscream was packed with Springer and Soundwave.
    The new wave of Deluxes is packed with two Sixguns. Guess who will be peg-warming.

    That is some discipline!

    Someone mentioned a lack of Decepticons?

    What to do when you thought you'd cancelled one pre-order but didn't and get the same figure twice?
    Fan mode, of course!

    Mirage makes a fairly decent Cybertronian jet in my mind, lol

    I’m loving the Decepticons. I hope we get more love for them in Earthwars. All the figures have been really well engineered.

    Got my three pack in! First ever Impactor toy I have ever owned. I may get the regular release too at some point as the head seems hard to remove :(

    The only SIEGE Leader I deem a legit one is the UM mold only because of his weight and not his height. And I be pissed at seeing Shockwave on sale if didn't already have a $25 gift card when I bought him in Feb. Beyond that I still feel that Shockwave as a Leader class was a ripoff (so is the upcomming Astrotrain). So all the other SIEGE Leaders I've skipped or will skip. So yeah, TR's last few Leader class IMO were far better (and more desirable). And sadly it doesn't look like we'll be seeing new or taller characters in the SIEGE lines again anytime soon.

    So my SIEGE appreciation goes to Deluxe and Voyagers this year.
