    Notified that my order has shipped and was able to confirm my e-mail address and access my account. Wondering what color stand would look best for him and Quakewave. Leaning towards the silver blue...

    *impatient twitch. Think I'm going to set this up in a deactivated pose and have purple Quakewave working on his drone.

    OK all pre-orders for Exclusive Quake Wave have been packaged and shipped. If you haven't received a shipping notification please let me know.

    A few notes about the batteries - The toy takes two batteries a CR1025 for the arm and CR1020 for the head. However CR1020 batteries are incredibly rare so it's been recommended that you use a CR1025 in the head as well. It's a very tight fit so be careful when installing it.

    There are markings for + & - on the arm. If you install the battery and it doesn't light up, try swapping the battery so it goes in reversed. For some reason many of the battery holders were installed backwards.

    Feel free to PM me with any questions or concerns. Enjoy!

    yep, got mine yesterday. The hose fix is very clever. It looks like they were smarter about the length of the wiring for the arm light inside too. I didn't realize this was coming with alternate colored hands/cannon. Gonna try swap the red ones on and see what it looks like.

    Mine came in yesterday as well. Haven't had a chance to take them out of the box but I do like the look of them.

    Mine came yesterday. I spent the whole night playing with him. Unfortunately, the head on mine has two problems. First, the LED switch snapped right off when I tried to toggle it. Second, part of the head seems to have a chunk shaved off.

    Other than that, I had lots of fun playing with it! I really like the sparkly gray plastic on this figure.

    Same here. I have had family in town and missed it. New price is a dealbreaker. It is sweet, but i ordered something else. I hate knowing i overpaid. The same thing with MMCs predaking, i canceled because i missed the second preorder. Maybe another time ill get it.

    If you guys let $25 come between you and this awesome piece, it's your loss. It's worth every penny of $200.

    I'd have to agree with this. There's only 350 of them, total. Once they're gone, you're gonna be paying more than $25, if you manage to find one.

    I like the ones on ebay but they are way over priced. I just chopped up a Flight Stand instead.

    Crappy pic with cell phone.

    I had the same problem too: the switch for the head LED snapped almost fisth thing. I unscrewed the back part and the electronics were rusted out pretty badly. Looks like they had some moisture problems at the factory.

    Already sent a message over to Eddie and he replied lightning quick. Looks like there should be some replacement parts coming from FansToys.

    Other than that, I love this thing. The silver/gray deco is pretty sweet, and I'm liking the red hands and gun too.

    I got mine in yesterday. I fiddled with the replacement part for the arm (so that it could swivel), but I quickly saw that with those pieces, you can't have any lighting effects on the left arm. Oh well. I left the swivel parts off.

    Mine arrived Monday. Awesome figure. Glad I pre-ordered him- totally cool. I would have found a way to get him even with the higher post pre-order price if I had to. So glad to add this figure to my collection.

    Thanks edbomber.com!

    Glad to see a lot of the items are arriving and in good shape! It seems a small number are showing up with bad switches in the head. If anyone is seeing problems with their figure please don't hesitate to contact us at [email protected] and we'll take care of it. Thanks again for the support.
