    wooh. I'm getting these. just decided to get into wst, so I only have grimlock (plus optimus, blaster, and shockwave, who are on the way), but I'm digging what I've got so far. Hope they decide to release magnus as well, Kup would also make me happy

    I wish Hasbro would produce the original waves in the US (as a comic store item or something along those lines). I really want soundwave, but his aftermarket prices are effing insane.

    I saw that Wonderfest Sixshot on ebay go for 3 or 4 hundred. I'm glad these are coming out. Pretty soon we'll have the whole G1 line. My shelf for Wst's is getting full.:dj

    These certainly have the "must get more than one" appeal. Great choices! I'd like to see them tackle some Japanese-only Transformers, like Dezaras or Raiden. They'd probably be the only versions we'll get.

    we did a group buy for blaster and shockwave. I believe we paid these off september or october. they got delayed a few times up until, what March? 6 months from preorder...not to mention when they were announced i forget when. I'm going to shoot...october, november. rough guess.

    Yeah Jason, get rid of those and put some better toys. I'll come by tomorrow and pick up those WST's off of your hands.

    there's a chance that this Astrotrain will have a transformation closer to the prototype version from the G1 catalogue. Also hope that the color scheme is based on g1 toon.

    Probably there will be some kind of exclusive variations, like Show / Toy Astrotrain, Blitzwing / Overcharge, and Sixshot / Black Sixshot.

    Yeah, the Predacons would be cool, and i'd probably get them, but would be a definate if they'd still combine to Predaking!

    I usually love JustItoys stuff, however I have YET to get a WST Shockwave without issues. My 1st one was broke and the 2nd one I just got has one of the legs installed backwards so he can't stand. What stinks is you can't take it apart and switch the legs because everything is glued together I think.

    Neat-O. Too bad I made the decison to stay away from the W$Ts. Heck, trying to keep up with G1-related lines it took me long enough to get into Henkei/Classics (on top of G1s + MPs).

    I will admit they are super-cool though. And a Sixshot anything is usually guaranteed awesome.

    Usually best to not really think about when these guys come out, or who they will be making micro versions of next. I don't mind delays so long as the final product turns out well.



    First time I've heard of such misassembly problems for a Justitoys WST. Can you post a pic, if possible?

    my shockers turned out fine, am abit disapointed that grimlock towers over him tho, would of like shocky to be abit taller seeing as his g1 toy was tall,

    No wheeljack then (he would of looked so cool)

    Does anyone know what happened to the pre planned wst skids and tracks (i think i herd that someone made tracks himself and produced a few, but skids was defo an inhouse toy prob just a prototype)

    Awesome, finally more toys to care about :D  Sixshot leave me cold, I don't know him as a character, but I'll probably get it, only to give my support for more awesome WST :D

    Will be interested to see these. I don't buy WSTs but i've been getting interested. I just know I'll get all completist on them and I just don't have the money for that right now.

    Astrotrain not listed on TFSource anymore. No info on why. Preordered a b/w and color version. Also checked the bbts and gone from there too.
