    Alright,as Lili Von Shtupp once said, "It's True! It's true!"

    In regard to Quakewave's awesomeness, of course.

    Another note, Uncle Billy must have opened up my quake, because mine came with batteries installed. Haven't opened up panels to see which batteries they are, but lights all work.

    ^ My second one (not from Uncle Billy) also came with batteries installed. I didn't see any evidence of the box being opened though. Maybe all/some second run comes with batteries installed in the factory. Packaging, etc is good, but my targeting screen is slightly askew.

    Could be. I must say, this guy is so awesome I'm somewhat compelled to buy a second... Tho I don't know why... Lol. Maybe because when they stop producing him his value will skyrocket or just to have two... For no reason.

    Hey, Kings will still prevail. Enjoy looking at the Sedins for a whole series. Be careful, you're eyes may melt.

    Kudos to dalianjj and FansToys. A couple of weeks ago, I posted in this thread to say that I'd belatedly spotted a flaw on my Quake Wave - there were two cracks either side of the chest piece, presumably where the factory had overtightened the screws:

    [​IMG]

    Given that I'd already had QW for a month or so by this time, I didn't expect there was much I could do, but I also PM'd dalianjj, and he promised to send me out a replacement piece. It arrived in the mail today, and now my Quake Wave is perfect:

    [​IMG]

    So, I really just wanted to say a big thank you to dalianjj for such great customer service and for going out of his way to fix what could have been considered a minor flaw.

    Or, if the rumors are true and Blaster is FanToys next MP release. Then do a voyager 2 pack later with both Blaster and Soundwave!!! I can imagine a lot of folks would go for that -

    Heya, J. I have a feeling that you're right. Once they stop producing him, he's going to skyrocket in value.

    I'm looking forward to June...I'm going to get one then, as I've already pre-ordered. I might pick one up as a late birthday gift for a friend as well.

    I just got quakewave in the mail today, and I have to say, just wow, I mean he is amazing and his colors are perfect. And I also agree that quakewave makes the takara and Hasbro MP's feel like Ko's. Over all I am very happy with him. :D

    I hate to bump the thread needlessly... but 1000X agreed!!!

    Finally got MP-10 Prime a few days ago, and honestly, it felt a little... cheap (at least compared to that brick shithouse, MP-01).

    Then today I opened up "Quakewave"... and good god, I cannot recommend this figure enough.

    I would've have paid at least another $50 on top of the base price, especially had I held this guy first.

    If you're on the fence, pony up. You'll be happy you did!

    omg, I'm back into transformer toys. Got Quakewave and love him. Does anyone have him next to a Hercules? I'd like to see it. There's almost 600 pages to flick through.

    If anyone is still after him, Chimungmung is back and has the third run up for preorder at a very good price of 125. His shippings 25 worldwide making it 150 with shipping.

    Lower prices after getting slammed by whoever shut down Chimmichuga and got rid of their KO's usually means they are dumping stock.
